SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of maintaining consistent, validated, and decoupled API Data Transfer Objects in web services, ensuring API contracts are clear and robust.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validation Checks: Verify that request and response DTOs use appropriate validation attributes and do not include route parameters unintentionally.
  • Mapping Consistency: Ensure each controller employs private static mapping helpers, maintaining clear separation from domain models.
  • REST Compliance: Confirm that API endpoints correctly utilize DTOs for requests and responses, including proper status codes and return types.
  • Use Case: When a developer introduces new DTOs or updates existing ones, this Skill helps validate their structure according to best practices and promotes uniform API design.

Quick Start

Use the api-dto-review skill to analyze your repository's DTO implementation and ensure adherence to validation, mapping, and REST standards.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate API DTO structures and ensure REST compliance in my web services?

Validating API DTO structures involves checking that request and response Data Transfer Objects use appropriate validation attributes, maintain mapping consistency with private static helpers, and correctly separate from domain models. This ensures REST compliance and robust API contracts for scalable web services.

What is the best way to enforce consistent DTO mapping patterns across API controllers?

Enforcing consistent DTO mapping patterns requires verifying that each API controller employs private static mapping helpers. This approach maintains a clear separation between Data Transfer Objects and domain models, ensuring uniform API design and preventing unintentional route parameter inclusions.

How do I check if my API endpoints correctly use DTOs for requests and responses?

Checking API endpoints for correct DTO usage involves confirming that controllers properly utilize Data Transfer Objects for requests and responses. This includes validating proper status codes and return types to enforce API design best practices and seamless integration.

When do I need to review my API Data Transfer Objects for validation and structure?

You need to review API Data Transfer Objects when a developer introduces new DTOs or updates existing ones. This validation process ensures adherence to validation, mapping, and REST standards, promoting uniform API design and preventing structural inconsistencies.

Does API DTO review work for ensuring separation between DTOs and domain models?

API DTO review works for ensuring separation by validating that controllers use private static mapping helpers. This maintains a clear boundary between Data Transfer Objects and domain models, enforcing decoupled API contracts and robust web service architecture.
