backend-api-development

This Skill auto-generates Express APIs using MVC + Service Layer architecture, creating routes, controllers, services, validation, and TypeScript types for new resources. Run the generator script to scaffold a resource—for example, `node .claude/skills/backend-api-development/scripts/generate-crud.js User`—and it produces a complete, typed structure following enforced patterns.

The MVC + Service Layer pattern separates concerns: controllers handle HTTP requests, services contain business logic, and models manage data through Sequelize. This structure reduces boilerplate, enforces type safety across your Node.js backend, and ensures consistent architecture as you add new endpoints and resources.

Yes. The Skill generates Express routes, controllers, services, and validation for any new resource you specify. It's designed for rapidly scaffolding RESTful resources across your backend, each following the same MVC + Service Layer structure and TypeScript patterns.

Yes. This Skill assumes a Node.js/TypeScript environment with Sequelize as the ORM and PostgreSQL as the database. It enforces these dependencies to guarantee type safety and consistent data handling across generated endpoints.

The Skill creates validation scaffolding and error handling logic as part of the generated structure, ensuring type safety and consistent error responses across new resources. Specific validation rules and error formats are applied according to the MVC + Service Layer pattern.
