SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers avoid inconsistent NestJS backend architecture by enforcing a repeatable feature-based module structure with clear separation between controllers, services, entities, and DTOs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Feature Module Architecture: Defines the required organization for NestJS modules using controllers, services, entities, DTOs, and optional supporting layers.
  • Implementation Standards: Guides creation of TypeORM entities, validation DTOs, Swagger documentation, service inheritance, and module registration patterns.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill when adding a new backend feature to the monorepo and need a production-aligned module structure matching existing examples.

Quick Start

Ask the backend-structure skill to create a new NestJS feature module following the repository architecture pattern.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a NestJS feature module with TypeORM and DTOs?

A NestJS feature module structure separates concerns into controllers, services, entities, and DTOs. This pattern enforces clear boundaries by guiding TypeORM entity creation, validation DTOs, and Swagger documentation for production-aligned backend modules.

What's the best way to maintain architectural consistency across NestJS monorepo modules?

Maintaining NestJS monorepo architectural consistency requires a standardized feature-based module structure. Applying repeatable patterns for service inheritance and module registration prevents inconsistent backend architecture across different feature teams.

Does this NestJS module structure approach support Swagger documentation and validation DTOs?

Yes, this NestJS module structure approach supports Swagger documentation and validation DTOs. Implementation standards guide the creation of validation DTOs and Swagger annotations to ensure API endpoints are documented and request payloads are validated.

When do I need a feature-based module architecture in a TypeScript NestJS backend?

You need a feature-based module architecture in a TypeScript NestJS backend when adding new features to a monorepo. It provides a production-aligned module structure matching existing examples, ensuring controllers, services, and entities remain properly isolated.

How to create a new NestJS backend module matching existing repository patterns?

To create a new NestJS backend module matching existing repository patterns, define controllers, services, entities, and DTOs following repository-specific inheritance patterns. This enforces a repeatable feature-based structure with clear separation of concerns.

Why does my NestJS backend architecture become inconsistent across different feature modules?

NestJS backend architecture becomes inconsistent without a repeatable feature-based module structure. Enforcing standardized organization for controllers, services, entities, and DTOs prevents architectural drift and maintains monorepo consistency.
