Backend specifications for frontend features are generated as markdown documents detailing endpoints, data models, webhooks, and environment variables. This standardizes FE-BE communication by capturing contracts before implementation begins.

A backend specification document defines endpoint interfaces, data models, events, and environment requirements. You need one when frontend features require new endpoints, webhooks, or data models, ensuring alignment before development.

Generate a backend spec by describing the frontend feature requiring backend changes. This outputs a markdown file in the docs folder detailing endpoints, models, webhooks, environment variables, and a structured workflow for engineers to follow.

Yes, this backend specification template works for movie-api data models by defining the necessary endpoint interfaces, events, and environment requirements. It captures the specific contracts needed to implement new frontend features for the application.

The best way to maintain backend contracts is to generate or update a markdown specification document in the docs folder. This document standardizes the problem, scope, and acceptance criteria to guide backend implementation and manage future changes.

You should not use a backend specification document when changes are purely frontend with no new endpoints, webhooks, or data models required. It is specifically designed to capture contracts when backend implementation is necessary.
