typedi VS axios

In this tutorial, we're building a simple application which uses Cerbos inside of a GraphQL server. The server is written in typescript and uses type-graphql to create the schema and resolvers, and TypeDI to handle dependency injection.

If you don’t want to tie yourself to a full web framework like Nest, there are a few DI-only frameworks that work with decorators, like TypeDI, TSyringe, or Typed Inject.

For existing projects, or if you don't want the weight of an opinionated framework like Nest, libraries like TypeDI and TSyringe can help.

The TypeDI project aims for simplicity by leveraging decorators and decorator metadata. It supports dependency scoping with singletons and transient objects and allows for multiple DI containers to exist. You have two options for working with TypeDI:

There are a number of Javascript dependency injection container libraries out there. Some of my personal favourites are TypeDI and InversifyJS. Here is an example demonstrating basic usage of Typedi with JavaScript.

typedi TypeDI is a powerful dependency injection package that has many features. One of this features is having Singleton Services which is how we use it in our case.

Typically, there are various ways to choose an HTTP client, and for this example, I've chosen axios.

axios: To fetch data from the Strapi CMS API and also to fetch responses from our Express server.

Note, you can use any library for HTTP requests like axios. This example uses the http and node-fetch libraries available on npm.

Interact with other APIs over an encrypted channel. For example, you can use Axios with Node.js.

For this article, I will be using the TypeScript Starter template as shown in the screenshot above. This comes with Nodejs, Cheerio, Axios

Axios is suitable for a wide range of web development projects, from simple single-page applications (SPAs) to complex, large-scale enterprise software.

Axios for streamlined API interactions, facilitating seamless data fetching.

Axios is a popular HTTP client library for Node.js that provides a more user-friendly and feature-rich way to make HTTP requests. Axios simplifies error handling and supports features like automatic JSON parsing and request/response interceptors, making it a great choice for many HTTP request scenarios.

For this tutorial, we’re going to scan the file for malware using Verisys Antivirus API, and so we’ll add a package to make it easier to make external HTTP requests. Popular choices include Axios and node-fetch - for this article, we’ll use node-fetch
