NodeJs Express TypeScript Mongo DB – Complete Project – Library Management – Step by Step

In this article, we will walk through the process of creating a complete project using NodeJs, Express, TypeScript, and Mongo DB. We will be building a library management system, which will allow users to browse and borrow books from the library.

Step 1: Setting up the environment

First, we need to install NodeJs and NPM (Node Package Manager) on our system. Once installed, we can use NPM to install TypeScript and Mongo DB. We will also need to create a new directory for our project and initialize it with npm init to set up the package.json file.

Step 2: Setting up Express and TypeScript

We will use the Express framework to create a web server for our library management system. We can install Express using NPM and then create a new TypeScript file to start coding our server. We will also need to install the necessary TypeScript packages and configure our tsconfig.json file to compile our TypeScript code into JavaScript.

Step 3: Setting up Mongo DB

We will use Mongo DB as our database for storing information about the books and users in the library. We can install Mongo DB and then create a new database for our project. We will also need to install a package like Mongoose to help us connect to and interact with our Mongo DB from our NodeJs server.

Step 4: Writing code for the library management system

With our environment set up, we can start writing the code for our library management system. We will create routes for browsing and borrowing books, as well as for adding and removing books from the library. We will also create models for representing books and users in our Mongo DB, and use Mongoose to interact with the database in our server code.

Step 5: Testing and deploying our project

Once our code is written, we can test our project to ensure that it is working as expected. We can then deploy our library management system to a server or cloud platform, making it accessible to users who want to browse and borrow books from the library.

By following these steps, we can create a complete project using NodeJs, Express, TypeScript, and Mongo DB. We will have a fully functional library management system, allowing users to interact with a database of books and borrow them for their reading pleasure.
