Express support for handling APIs declared using yaschema-api.

Basic Example

``typescript
// API schema and metadata
// You'll typically define this in a separate package shared by your server and clients
export const postPing = makeHttpApi({
method: 'POST',
routeType: 'rest',
url: '/ping',
isSafeToRetry: true,
schemas: {
request: {
body: schema.object({
echo: schema.string().allowEmptyString().optional()
})
},
successResponse: {
status: schema.number(StatusCodes.OK),
body: schema.string()
}
}
});
`

`typescript
// Register the API handler with Express
export const register = (app: Express & YaschemaApiExpressContextAccessor) =>
registerHttpApiHandler(app, postPing, {}, async ({ express: _express, input, output }) => {
output.success(200, { body: (input.body.echo?.length ?? 0) > 0 ? PONG ${input.body.echo ?? ''} : 'PONG' });
});
`

The options object passed to registerHttpApiHandler lets you override the validation mode and/or specify middleware.

$3

If you happen to be potentially initializing multiple Express servers simultaneously (e.g. on different ports) and you're using Yaschema API for more than one of these servers, you will need to extend your Express instance to support YaschemaApiExpressContextAccessor by calling addYaschemaApiExpressContextAccessorToExpress(express, context) before calling registerHttpApiHandler (or register, in the above example) -- where context should be unique for each Express server, and can be created using makeYaschemaApiExpressContext`.
