Link to issue: cdimascio/express-openapi-validator#151

First, create a file called .env in the root of project. It needs to have the following content:

SERVER_DB_CONNECTION_STR=*********

Fill in your MongoDB connection URI.

Then install all dependencies and execute this command to start the development server (port 3000).

npm i
npm run dev:api

In this state, everything should work as expected.

I've implemented one API endpoint: [POST] /pets, which should successfully create a new pet. You can test it at http://localhost:3000/api-docs

Now, go to the file api/src/index.ts and swap the 'setupRestServer' with the 'setupDatabase' call, so that the database gets set up first. Now, the express server shouldn't be able to start because express-openapi-validator is freezing the thread.

Hope this helps, maybe I'm just overlooking something very obvious.
