Here is simple code to create API

1. Install Deno: You can install Deno by following the instructions on its official website: https://deno.land/
2. Initialize a new Deno project:



mkdir my-api
cd my-api
touch server.ts


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode


deno install --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net --unstable -n elyasia https://deno.land/x/elyasia/cli.ts


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

4. Create your API endpoint in server.ts:



import { App, Router } from "https://deno.land/x/elyasia@v0.8.0/mod.ts";

const app = new App();
const router = new Router();

// Define your API routes
router.get("/hello", (ctx) => {
  ctx.response.body = "Hello, World!";
});

app.use(router.routes());
app.use(router.allowedMethods());

// Start the server
app.listen({ port: 8000 });
console.log("Server is running on http://localhost:8000");



Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

5. Run your server:



deno run --allow-net --allow-read server.ts



Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now your API should be running on http://localhost:8000. You can test it by accessing http://localhost:8000/hello in your browser or using tools like curl or Postman.

This is a basic example to get you started. You can expand it by adding more routes, middleware, error handling, etc., based on your requirements.
