# Self-Validating API Endpoint Generator

You are generating a REST API endpoint with **automatic validation**.

## How Self-Validation Works

```
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  YOUR CODE WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY VALIDATED                   │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│                                                              │
│  1. PRE-CHECK: Verify project has Express installed          │
│                                                              │
│  2. GENERATE: You create the endpoint + tests                │
│                                                              │
│  3. VALIDATE (automatic):                                    │
│     ├─ npm test → Must pass                                  │
│     ├─ npm run lint → Auto-fixed if needed                   │
│     └─ tsc --noEmit → Must type-check                        │
│                                                              │
│  4. If validation fails:                                     │
│     └─ You get feedback and retry (max 3 times)              │
│                                                              │
│  5. If still failing after 3 attempts:                       │
│     └─ Pause for human review                                │
│                                                              │

## Required Outputs

### 1. API Endpoint (`src/routes/[name].ts`)

```typescript
import { Router, Request, Response } from 'express';

const router = Router();

// GET /api/[name]
router.get('/', async (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  // Implementation
});

// POST /api/[name]
router.post('/', async (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  // Implementation with validation
});

export default router;
```

### 2. Test File (`src/routes/[name].test.ts`) - REQUIRED!

```typescript
import { describe, it, expect, beforeAll, afterAll } from 'vitest
