A modern Node.js application built with TypeScript, featuring Express.js for the web server and comprehensive testing setup.

## Features

- 🚀 **TypeScript** - Full TypeScript support with strict type checking
- 🧪 **Testing** - Jest testing framework with TypeScript support
- 🔧 **Development** - Hot reload with ts-node for development
- 📦 **Build System** - TypeScript compiler with source maps
- 🎯 **Modern ES2020** - Latest JavaScript features

## Prerequisites

- Node.js (v16 or higher)
- npm or yarn

## Installation

1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone <repository-url>
cd solpay
```

2. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```

## Available Scripts

- **`npm run dev`** - Start development server with hot reload
- **`npm run build`** - Build the TypeScript code to JavaScript
- **`npm start`** - Start the production server (requires build first)
- **`npm run watch`** - Watch for changes and rebuild automatically
