Core Patterns

Module Structure

// REQ-XXX: Feature module
@Module({
  imports: [TypeOrmModule.forFeature([User]), ConfigModule],
  controllers: [UserController],
  providers: [UserService, UserRepository],
  exports: [UserService],
})
export class UserModule {}

Service Pattern

@Injectable()
export class UserService {
  constructor(
    private readonly userRepository: UserRepository,
    private readonly eventEmitter: EventEmitter2,
  ) {}

  async create(dto: CreateUserDto): Promise<User> {
    const user = await this.userRepository.create(dto);
    this.eventEmitter.emit('user.created', user);
    return user;
  }
}

Controller Pattern

@ApiTags('users')
@Controller('users')
@UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard, RolesGuard)
export class UserController {
  constructor(private readonly userService: UserService) {}

  @Post()
  @Roles(Role.ADMIN)
  @ApiOperation({ summary: 'Create user' })
  @ApiResponse({ status: 201, type: UserResponseDto })
  async create(@Body() dto: CreateUserDto): Promise<UserResponseDto> {
    return this.userService.create(dto);
  }
}

DTO with Validation

export class CreateUserDto {
  @ApiProperty({ example: 'john@example.com' })
  @IsEmail()
  @IsNotEmpty()
  email: string;

  @ApiProperty({ minLength: 8 })
  @IsString()
  @MinLength(8)
  @Matches(/^(?=.*[A-Za-z])(?=.*\d)/)
  password: string;
}

Guard Pattern

@Injectable()
export class RolesGuard implements CanActivate {
  constructor(private reflector: Reflector) {}

  canActivate(context: ExecutionContext): boolean {
    const requiredRoles = this.reflector.getAllAndOverride<Role[]>(
      ROLES_KEY, [context.getHandler(), context.getClass()],
    );
    if (!requiredRoles) return true;
    const { user } = context.switchToHttp().getRequest();
    return requiredRoles.some((role) => user.roles?.includes(role));
  }
}
