In the ever-evolving landscape of web APIs, having a robust and well-defined schema is crucial. However, exposing an OpenAPI specification in a Node framework often requires developers to jump through hoops, especially if they also want to use TypeScript to define their models.

Enter tsoa, a powerful TypeScript-based framework that allows us to create APIs with a "schema-first" approach that ensures that the OpenAPI schema that your application *says* it's returning always matches what's *actually* being returned... all while still using the framework of your choice - be it express, koa, hapi, or any other!

In this presentation, I'll show you how I use my new favorite API framework to quickly and easily build APIs without having to worry about my schema drifting away from reality.
