SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creates a standardized approach to building utility services for cross-cutting concerns, avoiding ad-hoc implementations and scattered logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralizes authentication, authorization, notifications, and shared utilities as standalone services.
  • Enforces architectural rules (no BaseService extension, no repository injection) and promotes validated env usage.
  • Supports a provider pattern to switch implementations (e.g., multiple email providers) without changing business logic.

Quick Start

Create a new utility service class under src/services (for example, src/services/my-utility.service.ts) implementing the cross-cutting logic and import it where needed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I centralize cross-cutting concerns like authentication and authorization in a backend service?

Centralize cross-cutting concerns by creating reusable utility services under src/services, enforcing architectural rules like no BaseService extension and no repository injection to keep shared logic standalone and maintainable.

What is the provider pattern for switching external API implementations in backend services?

The provider pattern for external API implementations allows switching multiple providers, such as different email services, without altering core business logic, ensuring cross-cutting utility services remain decoupled from specific vendor dependencies.

How do I create a utility service for handling external API calls and notifications?

Create a utility service for external API calls by adding a new class under src/services, implementing the cross-cutting notification or API logic, using validated environment configuration, and importing it where needed across your domain entities.

Why should cross-cutting services avoid extending a BaseService or injecting repositories?

Cross-cutting services should avoid extending BaseService or injecting repositories to prevent tight coupling with domain data layers, enforcing an architectural boundary that keeps utility logic independent and reusable across multiple domain entities.

Does this approach for shared utility services require validated environment configuration?

Yes, this approach requires validated environment configuration to securely manage external API credentials and cross-cutting service settings, preventing ad-hoc implementations and scattered logic across the codebase.
