typescript-starter VS Nest

Let's say you want to create a new NestJS standard application from scratch but taking the full control of your dependencies, scripts and source code. Thus, you don't want to use the usual npx @nestjs/cli new command (which basically bootstraps the typescript starter project) since you wish a bare minimum app.

You don't need to use the Nest CLI if you don't want to. You can literally just create a index.ts file, use NestJS within it and run it with ts-node index.ts (though you gotta make sure you have the correct tsconfig.json)

Another option is to clone the starter repo from GitHub. Note that to install the JavaScript flavor of the starter project, we can clone this repo, but you’ll need Babel to compile vanilla JavaScript).

git clone https://github.com/nestjs/typescript-starter.git project cd project yarn yarn add -D prisma npx prisma init

When using the NestJS framework, sometimes you may need to change some default timeout. You can define them just like you'd do in a plain Node.js HTTP server like so:

Back: a graphQL server built with Nestjs

NestJS - opinionated more scalable, but harder to learn docs

Pragmatically, we can apply this to a Nest application by creating an Interface for our services, separating the Presenter layer (Controller) from the Use Case (Services):

It’s a text document that contains all the commands a user could call to assemble an image. Let’s check an example of a Dockerfile for a nodejs app in this case it will be a NestJS app and then explain each part.

describe('Create bookmarks', () => { const dto: CreateBookmarkDto = { title: 'NestJS', link: 'https://nestjs.com/', }; it('should create bookmark', () => { return pactum .spec() .post('/bookmarks') .withHeaders({ Authorization: 'Bearer $S{userAt}', }) .withBody(dto) .expectStatus(201) .stores('bookmarkId', 'id')//store the bookmark id in the variable bookmarkId .expectBodyContains(dto.title) .expectBodyContains(dto.link) }); });

In my usual NodeJS tech stack, which includes GraphQL, NestJS, SQL (predominantly PostgreSQL with MikroORM), I encountered these limitations. To overcome them, I've developed a new stack utilizing Rust, which still offers some ease of development:

The purpose of this article is to provide a step-by-step guide for implementing authentication system in a NestJS project using the Passport middleware module.

That's exactly where I am. My manager gave me these links, that cover a lot of those words the backend uses, so I can identify what they mean and how to use them. 1. For inspiration and concepts: https://github.com/Sairyss/domain-driven-hexagon 2. Suggested to read the documentation for nest.js. They apply such concepts I don't understand: https://nestjs.com/
