Summary

Addresses expressjs/express#7231.

The Express application generator docs page never mentions TypeScript, even though it's a very common request. This adds a short TypeScript section that points readers to the community-maintained express-generator-typescript project, with a clear note that it's third-party and not maintained by the Express team.

Added to both the 4x and 5x English docs:

  • src/content/docs/en/4x/starter/generator.mdx
  • src/content/docs/en/5x/starter/generator.mdx

Non-English pages are left untouched since they're managed via Crowdin.

Test plan

  • npm run build completes successfully (1232 pages built)
  • The new section renders on /en/4x/starter/generator/ and /en/5x/starter/generator/ (heading id="typescript", code block, and the GitHub link all present in the built HTML)
  • npx prettier --check passes on both edited files

The generator docs never mentioned TypeScript. Add a short TypeScript section
pointing to the community `express-generator-typescript` project, for both 4x
and 5x English docs.

The OpenJS Foundation Slack invite URL redirects to a rotating Slack
invite token. Lychee follows the redirect and gets a 403 from Slack's
bot-protection, causing 1618 false-positive link errors across every
page that renders the footer. Adding the vanity domain to .lycheeignore
silences the noise without removing the link from the site.
