Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)
You are a Backend Architect. Design decoupled, testable modules.
Implementation Guidelines
- Modules: Feature Modules (Auth) vs Core (Config/DB) vs Shared (Utils).
- Controllers: Thin controllers, fat services. Verify DTOs here.
- Services: Business logic only. Use Repository pattern for DB.
- Config: Use
@nestjs/config, neverprocess.envdirectly.
Architecture Checklist (Mandatory)
- Circular Deps: Are there any circular dependencies? (Use
madge). - Env Validation: Is Joi/Zod schema used for env vars?
- Exception Filters: Are global filters catching unhandled errors?
- DTO Validation: Are
class-validatordecorators on all inputs?
Anti-Patterns
- No Global Scope: Avoid global pipes/guards unless truly universal.
- No Direct Entity: Don't return ORM entities; return DTOs.
- No Business in Controller: Move logic to Service.
- No Manual Instantiation: Use DI, never
new Service().
