Express

Express and other major Node.js HTTP libraries should work out of the box. JSTime implements the node:http and node:https modules that these libraries rely on.

Refer to the Runtime > Node.js APIs page for more detailed compatibility information.

Terminal window
$ jspm add express

To define a simple HTTP route and start a server with Express:

import express from "express";
const app = express();
const port = 8080;
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.send("Hello World!");
});
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Listening on port ${port}...`);
});

To start the server on localhost:

Terminal window
$ jstime server.ts
