FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a NestJS backend with modular architecture and dependency injection?▼

You scaffold a NestJS backend by generating modules, controllers, services, and DTOs with proper dependency injection wiring. This approach ensures consistent, testable TypeScript application structure across REST APIs and GraphQL services.

What is the best way to set up JWT authentication and guards in a NestJS application?▼

The best way to set up JWT authentication in a NestJS application is to integrate Passport with guards and interceptors during module scaffolding, applying secure authentication wiring directly into the enterprise backend structure.

Can I use Prisma instead of TypeORM for data layer integration in NestJS?▼

Yes, you can use Prisma instead of TypeORM. NestJS enterprise scaffolding supports switchable data layer integrations, allowing you to choose either TypeORM or Prisma for your application's data persistence requirements.

How do I generate Swagger OpenAPI documentation and DTO validation in NestJS?▼

You generate Swagger OpenAPI documentation and DTO validation in NestJS by scaffolding modules with class-validator integration, ensuring input validation and API documentation are configured automatically for REST API endpoints.

Does NestJS scaffolding include unit and E2E testing configurations for enterprise apps?▼

Yes, NestJS scaffolding includes testing scaffolds for both unit and E2E test scenarios. This ensures enterprise applications maintain testable modular architecture across controllers, services, and dependency injection wiring.
