SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a standardized architecture template for Node.js backends, enabling consistent design, testability, and maintainability across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Domain-Driven Core: clear separation of core business logic from infrastructure concerns using a core/services layer and domain types.
  • Infrastructure Patterns: routed HTTP layer, database access via repositories, and error handling middleware for robust APIs.
  • Test-Ready: includes unit and integration testing patterns and scaffolding to accelerate TDD.

Quick Start

Initialize a new Node.js API project using this pattern by wiring core services to HTTP routes and running the unit and integration tests to verify behavior.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a scalable Node.js backend architecture?

A scalable Node.js backend architecture separates core domain logic from infrastructure using a repository pattern, dependency injection, and dedicated API routes to ensure consistent design and maintainability across projects.

What is the repository pattern in Express or Fastify applications?

The repository pattern in Express or Fastify applications abstracts database access into a dedicated layer, allowing core domain services to remain decoupled from infrastructure concerns for better testability and maintainability.

How do I set up test scaffolding for Node.js API projects?

Test scaffolding for Node.js API projects is set up by incorporating unit and integration testing patterns alongside error handling middleware, accelerating test-driven development across core domain logic and routed HTTP layers.

Can I use dependency injection in a Node.js backend project?

Yes, you can use dependency injection in a Node.js backend project by wiring core services to HTTP routes at the composition root, standardizing the architecture and enforcing a well-organized project structure.

Does this Node.js backend pattern support both Express and Fastify?

Yes, this Node.js backend pattern supports both Express and Fastify, providing a repeatable architecture that includes routed HTTP layers, domain-driven core logic, and representative error handling middleware for robust APIs.

Why use domain-driven design for Node.js backend development?

Use domain-driven design for Node.js backend development to create a clear separation of core business logic from infrastructure concerns, resulting in a standardized template that enforces testability and consistent project design.
