--- url: /introduction/getting-started.md description: Start your first Ts.ED project with the CLI or clone a starter project. --- # Getting Started ## Try it online You can try Ts.ED directly in your browser on [CodeSandbox](https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/tsed-mongoose-example-omkbm). ## Installation To get started, you can either scaffold the project with the Ts.ED CLI, or clone a starter project. To scaffold the project with the CLI, run the following commands. This will create a new project directory, and populate the directory with the initial core Ts.ED files and supporting modules, creating a conventional base structure for your project. Creating a new project with the CLI is recommended for first-time users. ::: code-group ```sh [npm] npx -p @tsed/cli tsed init . ``` ```sh [yarn] yarn set version berry yarn dlx -p @tsed/cli tsed init . ``` ```sh [pnpm] pnpm --package=@tsed/cli dlx tsed init . ``` ```sh [bun] bunx -p @tsed/cli tsed init . ``` ::: ::: warning Ts.ED v8 required at least Node.js v20.11.0 version to work. ::: You will be greeted with a few simple questions: ```ansi ? Choose the target platform: (Use arrow keys) ❯ Express.js Koa.js Fastify.js ? Choose the architecture for your project: (Use arrow keys) ❯ Ts.ED Feature ? Choose the convention file styling: (Use arrow keys) ❯ Ts.ED Angular ? Check the features needed for your project (Press to select, to toggle all, to invert selection, and to proceed) ◉ Swagger ◯ OpenID Connect provider ◉ Testing ❯ ◉ Linter ◯ Commands ◯ TypeGraphQL ◯ Database ? Choose unit framework (Use arrow keys) ❯ Jest Mocha + Chai + Sinon ? Choose linter tools framework (Use arrow keys) ❯ EsLint ? Choose extra linter tools (Press to select, to toggle all, to invert selection, and to proceed) ◉ Prettier ❯ ◉ Lint on commit ? Choose the runtime: ❯ Node.js Node.js + Babel Node.js + Webpack Node.js + SWC Bun.js (experimental) ? Choose the package manager: NPM Yarn ❯ Yarn Berry ``` ::: tip By default, it's recommended to select the following options: Express, Ts.ED (convention), Swagger, Jest and Eslint + prettier. ::: When all options are selected, the CLI will generate all files. When it's done, run one of this command: ::: code-group ```sh [npm] npm start ``` ```sh [yarn] yarn start ``` ```sh [pnpm] pnpm start ``` ```sh [bun] bun start ``` ::: ```ansi [2024-02-18T12:51:22.798] [INFO ] [TSED] - Loading EXPRESS platform adapter... +2ms [2024-02-18T12:51:22.800] [INFO ] [TSED] - Injector created... +2ms [2024-02-18T12:51:22.934] [INFO ] [TSED] - Build providers +134ms [2024-02-18T12:51:22.986] [INFO ] [TSED] - Settings and injector loaded... +52ms [2024-02-18T12:51:22.986] [INFO ] [TSED] - Mount app context +0ms [2024-02-18T12:51:22.986] [INFO ] [TSED] - Load routes +0ms [2024-02-18T12:51:22.990] [INFO ] [TSED] - Routes mounted... +4ms [2024-02-18T12:51:22.990] [INFO ] [TSED] -  ┌───────────────┬───────────────────┬────────────────────────────┐ │ Method │ Endpoint │ Class method │ │───────────────│───────────────────│────────────────────────────│ │ GET │ /rest/hello-world │ HelloWorldController.get() │ │───────────────│───────────────────│────────────────────────────│ │ GET │ / │ IndexController.get() │ └───────────────┴───────────────────┴────────────────────────────┘ [2024-02-18T12:51:22.993] [INFO ] [TSED] - Listen server on http://0.0.0.0:8083 [2024-02-18T12:51:22.993] [INFO ] [TSED] - [default] Swagger JSON is available on http://0.0.0.0:8083/doc/swagger.json [2024-02-18T12:51:22.993] [INFO ] [TSED] - [default] Swagger UI is available on http://0.0.0.0:8083/doc/ [2024-02-18T12:51:22.993] [INFO ] [TSED] - Started in 197 ms +3ms ``` ## Update dependencies ::: warning If you have to upgrade Ts.ED dependencies, keep in mind this point: It's really important to keep the same version for all `@tsed/*` (excepted @tsed/logger) packages. To prevent errors, fix the version for each Ts.ED packages: ```json { "dependencies": { "@tsed/platform-http": "8.0.0", "@tsed/di": "8.0.0", "@tsed/core": "8.0.0", "@tsed/exceptions": "8.0.0", "@tsed/platform-express": "8.0.0", "@tsed/swagger": "8.0.0" } } ``` ::: ## Project examples Alternatively, you can check out one of these projects: If none of previous solutions are satisfying maybe you are in these cases: * [I want to migrate my application from Ts.ED v6](/introduction/migrate-from-v6) * [I want to migrate my application from Ts.ED v7](/introduction/migrate-from-v7) * [I want to migrate my application from Express.js](/introduction/migrate-from-express) ## What's next?
