NestJS

 

What is NestJS?

A progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, reliable and scalable server-side applications.

1. Controllers:

Are responsible for handling inconming requests and returning responded to the client.

 

 

 

3. Guards:
Is a class annotated with the @Injectable() decorator.
Guards should implement the CanActivate interface.

 

2. Modules:

Is a class annotated with a @Module decorator.  
Provides metadata that Nest makes user of to organize the application structure.

 

 

4. Middlewares:

Is a function which is called before the route handler.

 

 

 

5. Pipes:

Is a class annotated with the @Injectable() decorator.

 

6. Database:

Allowing you to easily integrate with any SQL or NoSQL database.  

 

CLI

 

npm  i -g @nest/cli

 

Use

 

nest new project-dominicode

 

platform agnostic

NestJS

Controller

export class CatController {
  constructor
     (private readonly catService: CatsService){}

  @ApiTags('cat')
  @Post('')
  async createCat(@Body() cat: CreateCatDto) {
    return this.catService.create(cat);
  }

Service

@Injectable()
export class CatsService {
  private readonly cats: Cat[] = [];

   create(cat: Cat) {
     this.cats.push(cat);
   }
  }

Module

@Module({
  controllers: [CatController],
  providers: [CatsService],
})
export class CatsModule  {
 
}

Bootstrap

async function bootstrap() {
  const opts: NestApplicationOptions = {};
  const app = await NestFactory.create
        <NestExpressApplication>(AppModule, opts);
  app.disable('x-powered-by');
  await app.listen(LISTEN_PORT);
}
bootstrap();

Adaptors

async function bootstrap() {
  const app = await 
        NestFactory.create<NestFastifyApplication>(
    AppModule,
    new FastifyAdapter()
  );
  await app.listen(3000);
}

Microservice

async function bootstrap() {
  const app = await 
   NestFactory.createMicroservice
    <MicroserviceOptions>(
    AppModule,
    {
      transport: Transport.TCP,
    },
  );
  await app.listen();
}

NestJS Crash Course

NestJS Crash Course

We have experienced a revolution in the Front-End with innovative ideas from Frameworks and libraries, however, how can our Back-End learn and benefit from this?, The architecture in Node can be a headache, Do not lose your mind!. Let's increase our technical skills and level of happiness, building robust applications in a simple, consistent and fast way, without losing the simplicity of Node with Nest.js; a framework based on the Angular design that provides the best concepts for scalable systems. Additionally, Nest.js is a short route for the approach of Angular developers to Node.js
