SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Backend development involves building server-side logic, APIs, and data storage, often burdened by boilerplate and inconsistent patterns. This skill provides structured guidance and reusable patterns to speed up API design, data modeling, and security.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • RESTful API implementation patterns with Express, routing, and middleware integration.
  • Database design, ORM mapping (Prisma), and robust validation and error handling.
  • Authentication, authorization, and testing practices across common backend scenarios.

Quick Start

Install and configure your Node.js environment, then scaffold a basic backend following the included patterns to start building APIs and persisting data.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build REST APIs with Node.js and Express?

REST APIs with Express involve defining routes, handlers, and middleware to process HTTP requests. This skill provides structured patterns for routing, request validation, and response formatting across typical server-side workflows, accelerating API design and deployment.

What's the best way to handle authentication in backend applications?

JWT-based authentication secures backend services by issuing tokens that clients include in requests. This skill enforces authentication patterns, token validation, and authorization checks to protect endpoints and data across your API layer.

How do I design database schemas and map them with Prisma?

Database design defines data structure; Prisma ORM maps schemas to application code, enabling type-safe queries and migrations. This skill covers schema design, Prisma configuration, and validation to ensure robust data persistence and consistency.

Can I use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection?

Parameterized queries separate SQL code from user data, preventing injection attacks. This skill enforces parameterized query patterns and input validation across database operations to protect your backend from common security vulnerabilities.

How do I test backend APIs and validate error handling?

Testing backend services involves unit and integration tests that verify API behavior, error responses, and edge cases. This skill covers testing practices and error-handling patterns to ensure reliable, maintainable server-side code across common workflows.
