A simple Node.js package to start an Express server and log the port it's running on.

To install the package from npm, run:

npm install servify-express

To install the package from GitHub Packages, first configure npm to use the GitHub Package Registry for the @aarondoran scope by adding a .npmrc file in your project:

@aarondoran:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com 

Then install the package:

npm install @aarondoran/servify-express

After installing the package, you can start an Express server with a single function call. You can also optionally enable rate limiting if you want.

1. Import the package into your project.

constStartServer=require('servify-express');// OR if installed from GitHub Packages:constStartServer=require('@aarondoran/servify-express');

2. Call the listen method and pass in the port number. You may also pass an options object if you want to enable rate limiting.

const StartServer = require('servify-express'); StartServer.listen(3000); 

With optional rate limiting:

const StartServer = require('servify-express'); StartServer.listen(3000,{rateLimit:{windowMs: 60000, max: 50 } }); 

if you dont add a port it will default to 3000.

listen() starts an Express server and logs: Server is running on port <PORT_NUMBER>

Rate limiting is only applied if you include the rateLimit option. If you leave it out, no rate limiting will be used.
