express-typescript | Express + TypeScript + Boilerplate for Web / API App | Runtime Evironment library

When you get the No overload matches this call. error, means you are defining parameters that do not exist on that type.

In your case, you have the err parameter on listen callback which should not be there (see http://expressjs.com/en/api.html under app.listen)

To fix the ts error, just remove the err and related code below.

Regarding your imports, I would suggest to keep them with the newer sintax instead of the old require (that should now work just fine).

Last but not least, try to always avoid setting your types as any, as that is like having a fire alarm without batteries. The types you are looking for are express built-in and you can define them as such:

Well I found the solution and it's quite bohering me that I didn't come to this solution earlier. If you send the request like the following: GET /question?relations=user, the value is send with as a string. At the point you send a second value, the query becomes an array. To properly tell that the query is an array, you can do the following: GET /questions?relations[]=user. I didn't use this, because I thought GET /questions?relations=user was standard.

Well, the solution was rather easy.

I needed to bind the Socket Server to the same HTTP Server instance, which express is using. Below are my changes.
