+# 420-317-ah | Node Example
+
+This project gives an idea of what a the express+deno hello world project
+looks like in node js.
+
+
+## Technical decision
+
+As node.js does not run typescript natively, we need to compile the 
+typescript code into javascript.  
+
+We had multiple options for the bundler but we went for (esbuild)[https://esbuild.github.io].
+esbuild is fast, and relyable, moreover the project documentation is quite good.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+  A["TypeScript Files\nlocated in src directory"] --> B["esbuild"]
+  B --> C["compiled javascript\nlocated in dist directory"]
+```
+
+## How to develop
+
+All the source code is location in the `src` directory.  Each time the source code 
+is modified, it needs to be re-compiled and re-executed.
+
+### Compiling the source code (aka build)
+
+Compiling the source code from typescript to javascript is quite easy.
+
+```shell
+npm run build
+```
+
+### Running the project
+
+Before running the project, it is important to compile the source code.  Once this
+is done, it is possible to run the program via npm or via node.
+
+```shell
+npm run build
+```
+
+```shell
+node dist/main.js
+```
+
+
+### Developping the project
+
+When developping the project, it is nice to be able to continuously compile
+the typescript code into javascript. 
+
+```shell
+npm run build:dev
+```
+
+Then, one can use the the nodejs [`--watch`](https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#--watch) parameter
+to restart the webserver each time the javascript source changes.
+
+```shell
+node --watch dist/main.js
+```
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+  A["TypeScript files"] --npm run build:dev--> B["JavaScript files"]
+  B --"node --watch"--> C["Running Server"]
+```
