Server Configuration Guide

This guide provides an overview of the server configuration and startup process in the application. It covers key files such as app.ts and index.ts that play a crucial role in setting up the Express server, connecting to external services, and initializing critical components.

app.ts

app.ts serves as the central configuration file for the Express server. It initializes key middleware and sets up security headers, logging, and CORS handling. This file plays a crucial role in defining how the server processes incoming requests and enhances security and development experience through various middleware.

Key Features:

• Initialization of Express application.
• Configuration of logging using Morgan.
• Security enhancements through Helmet middleware.
• JSON body parsing using express.json().
• Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) configuration.

This file provides a consolidated view of the middleware stack and server setup.

index.ts

index.ts acts as the main entry point of the application. It imports and executes the necessary logic to start the server, connect to databases, and set up routes. This file plays a critical role in launching the application and initializing key components.

Key Features:

• Importing and executing server setup logic from app.ts.
• Handling environment variable configurations.
• Connecting to databases or external services (e.g., Nostr and Prisma).
• Setting up routes and error handling middleware.
• Starting the Express server to handle incoming requests.

This file provides an overview of the application's startup process and critical dependencies.
