" summary

Shows how to migrate a JavaScript Express app file by file and keep the server running: use VS Code’s TypeScript language server, install tsc as a devDependency and run tsc --init, enable allowJs and checkJs to get type checks, add @types/node and @types/express, flip on strict later, or use noEmit as a smart linter. Webpack’s gradual adoption previously uncovered many real bugs, and the demo compiles and serves after each step.
