Building A Robust Backend Server With NestJS 🚧

• HelloCommunity

  1 0 0.0 TypeScript

  This is a robust and secure backend application powered by NestJS

• Prisma

  444 37,328 9.9 TypeScript

  Next-generation ORM for Node.js & TypeScript | PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, MongoDB and CockroachDB

  

Don't panic! NestJS is here 🎉 And it already has "connectors" for some libraries, including: Sequelize, TypeORM or even Prisma. I preferred to exclude Sequelize from the challengers list (despite its popularity), since I want to be able to re-use the "chosen one" for future development with NoSQL (I can't live without Mongo 😅). In fact, the only possible choice is none other than Prisma. By the way, I was pleasantly surprised by its concept and its intuitive API! It's time to install this new dependency, and then initialize the database schema.

  Postman is an API platform for building and using APIs. Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster.

  

Make sure you have registered your users.module.ts module at the main module level (app.module.ts), then launch the application (npm run start). You should be able to start playing with your API via the REST protocol (and Postman of course 😎).

• PostgreSQL

  411 14,788 10.0 C

  Mirror of the official PostgreSQL GIT repository. Note that this is just a *mirror* - we don't work with pull requests on github. To contribute, please see https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Submitting_a_Patch

  

For this new project, I chose technologies that are on the rise, in particular PostgreSQL but especially NestJS. So, I gave up my good old database that is MongoDB, in favor of a more traditional database.

• Passport

  63 22,470 4.3 JavaScript

  Simple, unobtrusive authentication for Node.js.

The best way to establish this kind of operation (with NodeJS) is to use Passport. On the design side, I'll have to create a new authentication route that will provide me a token to validate /users/:id endpoints (GET, PATCH and DELETE). That's why, I recover (above) two strategies:

• fastify

  124 30,705 9.4 JavaScript

  Fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js

  

Finally, NestJS embeds the ExpressJS engine or that of Fastify (at choice), to deliver a robust and powerful HTTP server. So, you can talk about a framework of frameworks (meta-framework!? 🤔) For this project, I chose to use Fastify which seems more than promising...

• Nest

  312 64,525 9.9 TypeScript

  A progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, scalable, and enterprise-grade server-side applications with TypeScript/JavaScript 🚀

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• Knex

  95 18,789 7.9 JavaScript

  A query builder for PostgreSQL, MySQL, CockroachDB, SQL Server, SQLite3 and Oracle, designed to be flexible, portable, and fun to use.

  

The "Query Builder" (such as KnexJS)

• Express

  680 63,886 8.3 JavaScript

  Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.
