# Create your first controller

Create a new CalendarCtrl.ts in your controllers directory (by default root/controllers). All controllers declared with Controller decorators are considered as Platform routers (Express.Router, Koa.Router, ...). A Platform router requires a path (here, the path is /calendars) to expose an url on your server. More precisely, it's a part of a path, and the entire exposed url depends on the Server configuration (see Configuration) and the children controllers.

In this case, we have no dependencies and the root endpoint is set to /rest. So the controller's url will be http://host/rest/calendars.

import {Get} from "@tsed/schema";
import {Controller} from "@tsed/di";

@Controller("/calendars")
export class CalendarCtrl {
  @Get()
  findAll(): string {
    return "This action returns all calendars";
  }
}

TIP

Decorators Get , Post , Delete , Put , etc., support dynamic pathParams (eg: /:id) and RegExp like Express API.

See Controllers section for more details

WARNING

You have to configure engine rendering if you want to use the decorator Render .

To test your method, just run your server.ts and send an HTTP request on /rest/calendars/1.
