FAQPage Schema
How do I structure controllers and services in an AdonisJS v7 backend?▼

To structure an AdonisJS v7 backend, enforce boundary rules between controllers, Lucid models, and services. This separation ensures scalable architecture by delegating data operations to Lucid and business logic to services.

What is the best way to implement authorization and validation in AdonisJS?▼

The best way to implement AdonisJS authorization and validation is using policies and validators. This secures resources by centralizing access control and ensuring data integrity before requests reach your controllers.

Does this AdonisJS backend convention support Inertia and Edge templates?▼

Yes, these AdonisJS backend conventions support API, Hypermedia using Edge, and Inertia-based applications. The architectural patterns apply uniformly across different rendering strategies for routing and controllers.

How do I scaffold a complete backend feature with Lucid models and migrations?▼

Scaffold a complete AdonisJS backend feature by following conventions for Lucid models, migrations, and resource controllers. This workflow guarantees aligned routing, queries, and error handling across your project architecture.

When should I use transformers in AdonisJS API development?▼

Use transformers in AdonisJS API development to format Lucid model data before sending HTTP responses. They maintain a clean separation between your internal database structure and the external API output.

Why are action controllers recommended over resource controllers in AdonisJS?▼

Action controllers are recommended over resource controllers in AdonisJS when handling non-CRUD operations, providing a concrete pattern for specific routing needs. Resource controllers remain ideal for standard, resource-centric endpoints.
