How to explicitly specify types for Express’ application, request, response, etc. with TypeScript?
To explicitly specify types for Express’ application, request, response, etc. with TypeScript, we can get the types from the express module.
For instance, we write
import express = require("express");
//...
app.get("/", function (req: express.Request, res: express.Response) {
//...
});
to require the express module with
import express = require("express");
Then we set the types for req and res to express.Request and express.Response respectively.
