Examples and Templates

This skill includes detailed examples organized to match the NestJS official documentation structure (https://docs.nestjs.com/). All examples are in the examples/ directory, organized by topic (see mapping above).

To use examples:

• Identify the topic from the user's request
• Load the appropriate example file from the mapping above
• Follow the instructions, syntax, and best practices in that file
• Adapt the code examples to your specific use case

To use templates:

• Reference templates in templates/ directory for common scaffolding
• Templates include: controller, provider, module, middleware, guard, pipe, interceptor, exception filter, DTO, and project structure
• Adapt templates to your specific needs and coding style

Best Practices

1. Use dependency injection: Leverage NestJS DI container for better testability and maintainability
2. Organize by modules: Group related functionality into feature modules
3. Use decorators consistently: Follow NestJS decorator patterns for controllers, providers, and routes
4. Validate input data: Use ValidationPipe and DTOs for request validation
5. Handle errors gracefully: Implement global exception filters for consistent error handling
6. Use guards for authorization: Protect routes with guards rather than inline checks
7. Leverage interceptors: Use interceptors for cross-cutting concerns like logging and transformation
8. Type safety: Use TypeScript for better type safety and developer experience
9. Test thoroughly: Write unit tests for services and E2E tests for API endpoints
10. Follow official patterns: Refer to official documentation for recommended patterns and practices
