Initial Hero API Server Setup and Configuration

Description

Task

Create initial server setup for hero API

Acceptance Criteria

• Server successfully starts on configured port
• Middleware correctly handles JSON and URL-encoded requests
• Error handling middleware prevents server crashes
• Server can be instantiated with default or custom port configuration

Summary of Work

This pull request establishes the foundational server configuration for the Hero API, implementing a robust and flexible Express.js server with comprehensive middleware and error handling.

Key Changes:

• Utilized existing Server class in src/server.ts as the base for API configuration
• Implemented essential middleware for request parsing and error handling
• Configured basic server startup routine
• Added support for JSON and URL-encoded request bodies
• Implemented centralized error handling middleware

Implementation Details:

1. Server Configuration:

   • Default port set to 3000
   • Support for dynamic port configuration
   • Centralized middleware initialization

2. Middleware Setup:

   • express.json(): Parse incoming JSON payloads
   • express.urlencoded(): Handle URL-encoded form data
   • Global error handling middleware for unexpected errors

3. Startup Mechanism:

   • start() method to launch the server
   • Console logging for server startup confirmation
   • getApp() method for potential test and extension scenarios

Notes:

• Future iterations will include more sophisticated logging
• Error handling can be extended based on specific requirements
• Modular design allows easy middleware and route additions

Changes Made

• Utilized existing Server class in src/server.ts
• Configured middleware for JSON and URL-encoded parsing
• Implemented global error handling middleware
• Added server startup method with port configuration
• Provided method to access Express application instance

Tests

• Server can be instantiated with default port
• Server can be instantiated with custom port
• Middleware correctly parses JSON payloads
• Middleware correctly parses URL-encoded payloads
• Error handling middleware prevents unhandled exceptions
