api-endpoint

To scaffold a Node.js API endpoint, this Skill wires together service, schema, resolver/controller, repository, and caching layers. It generates the necessary files and enforces best practices like input validation, error handling, and security checks across the architecture.

Yes, the scaffolding workflow explicitly supports both REST and GraphQL patterns. It applies a consistent six-step process to generate resolvers or controllers, ensuring proper schema definition and explicit field selections for your chosen API style.

The best way to structure caching and validation is to enforce them at the service layer. This Skill provides built-in templates that apply caching at the service level and validate inputs, ensuring backend performance and safety before data reaches the repository.

Separating repository and service layers when creating backend endpoints ensures scalable architecture. The service layer handles business logic, caching, and validation, while the repository layer manages data access, keeping your Node.js backend maintainable and secure.

Yes, you can automatically generate input validation and security checks. The Skill includes built-in templates that enforce explicit field selections and apply necessary security checks directly during the endpoint scaffolding process.

A limitation when wiring caching layers is that caching must be explicitly enforced at the service layer to be effective. The Skill provides templates to enforce this, but developers must ensure the caching strategy aligns with their specific data consistency requirements.
