Implement Basic Express Server Setup with Configurable Port

Description

Task

Implement basic Express server setup

Acceptance Criteria

• Server can be created with a configurable port
• Default port is 3000 if not specified
• Environment variable PORT is respected
• Health check endpoint is available
• Server can be run directly or imported

Summary of Work

Express Server Implementation

Changes Made

• Created a modular Express server setup in src/server.ts
• Implemented a flexible createServer function that:
  • Accepts an optional port number (defaults to 3000)
  • Creates an Express application instance
  • Adds a basic health check endpoint /health
  • Configures server listening with logging
• Added environment variable support for port configuration
• Ensured the server can be both run directly and imported as a module

Implementation Details

• Used TypeScript for type safety
• Created a factory function createServer() for server instantiation
• Implemented conditional server startup to support different usage scenarios
• Added a health check endpoint for basic server status verification
• Supported port configuration via environment variable or default

Testing Approach

• Verified server creation with default and custom ports
• Confirmed health check endpoint functionality
• Ensured flexible module usage (direct run and import)

Notes

• Server logging provides basic startup information
• Modular design allows for easy extension and testing

Changes Made

• Created src/server.ts with modular server creation function
• Added environment variable support for port configuration
• Implemented health check endpoint
• Added conditional server startup logic

Tests

• Verify server can be created with default port
• Verify server can be created with custom port
• Check health check endpoint returns 200 status
• Confirm environment variable PORT is respected
