Express Server Integration

Host Jovo apps on your own server using Express.

This server integration allows you to host yor Jovo apps on your own server. Learn more about Express in their official documentation.

For example, the app.dev.ts stage uses Express as a local development server. The server is referenced in the last line of app.dev.ts:

export * from './server.express';

You can find the server.express.ts file here.

Create a new stage using the new:stage command as explained in the app config documentation.

When it prompts you to select a server integration, choose Express. This will add a server.express.ts file to your project's src folder.

If you're not using the Jovo Webhook with the run command to start the server, you can use the following npm script:

$ npm run start:<stage>

# Example
$ npm run start:dev
