FAQPage Schema
What are the best practices for structuring NestJS modules and dependency injection?

NestJS module and dependency injection best practices involve applying architecture-guided patterns to reduce coupling and improve testability. This skill provides a catalog of rules for module creation and dependency injection to enforce production-ready, maintainable code structures.

How do I harden security and optimize performance in a NestJS API?

To harden security and optimize performance in a NestJS API, apply specific guidelines for runtime behavior and API protection. This skill provides a catalog of security and performance rules to enforce production-grade patterns during controller and service implementation.

Can I use these NestJS architecture patterns to refactor legacy code?

Yes, you can use these NestJS architecture patterns to refactor legacy modules. The skill provides a structured set of best practices for auditing existing codebases and refactoring legacy modules to follow secure, scalable, and maintainable patterns.

What's the best way to align a team on consistent NestJS code reviews?

The best way to align a team on consistent NestJS code reviews is using code review prompts and a catalog of architectural rules. This skill provides generation and review prompts to ensure consistent patterns across modules, security, and error handling.

Do I need to follow these patterns when scaffolding a new NestJS project?

Yes, you should follow these patterns when scaffolding a new NestJS project to ensure a maintainable and scalable architecture. Applying these best practices during module creation and implementation establishes production-grade code from the start.
