Example of usage

1. Create a file UserController.ts

   import { Controller, Param, Body, Get, Post, Put, Delete } from 'express-routings';
   
   @Controller()
   export class UserController {
     @Get('/users')
     getAll() {
       return 'This action returns all users';
     }
   
     @Get('/users/:id')
     getOne(@Param('id') id: number) {
       return 'This action returns user #' + id;
     }
   
     @Post('/users')
     post(@Body() user: any) {
       return 'Saving user...';
     }
   
     @Put('/users/:id')
     put(@Param('id') id: number, @Body() user: any) {
       return 'Updating a user...';
     }
   
     @Delete('/users/:id')
     remove(@Param('id') id: number) {
       return 'Removing user...';
     }
   }

   This class will register routes specified in method decorators in express.js framework.

2. Create a file app.ts

   import 'reflect-metadata'
   import { createServer } from 'routing-controllers';
   import { UserController } from './UserController';
   
   const app = createServer({
     controllers: [UserController], // we specify controllers we want to use
   });
   
   // run express application on port 3000
   app.listen(3000);
