Architectural Patterns

Module Structure

// users/users.module.js
const { Module } = require('@nestjs/common');
const { UsersController } = require('./users.controller');
const { UsersService } = require('./users.service');
const { PrismaModule } = require('../prisma/prisma.module');

@Module({
  imports: [PrismaModule],
  controllers: [UsersController],
  providers: [UsersService],
  exports: [UsersService],
})
class UsersModule {}

module.exports = { UsersModule };

Controller Pattern (SOLO HTTP)

const { Controller, Get, Post, Put, Delete, Body, Param, UseGuards, HttpCode, HttpStatus } = require('@nestjs/common');
const { ApiBearerAuth, ApiTags, ApiOperation, ApiResponse } = require('@nestjs/swagger');

@ApiTags('users')
@Controller('users')
class UsersController {
  constructor(usersService) {
    this.usersService = usersService;
  }

  @Post()
  @ApiOperation({ summary: 'Create new user' })
  @ApiResponse({ status: 201, description: 'User created successfully' })
  @HttpCode(HttpStatus.CREATED)
  async create(@Body() createUserDto) {
    const user = await this.usersService.create(createUserDto);
    return {
      success: true,
      data: user,
      message: 'Usuario creado exitosamente',
    };
  }

  @Get(':id')
  @UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard)
  @ApiBearerAuth()
  async findOne(@Param('id') id) {
    const user = await this.usersService.findById(id);
    return { success: true, data: user };
  }
}

Service Pattern (Business Logic)

const { Injectable, NotFoundException, ConflictException } = require('@nestjs/common');
const bcrypt = require('bcrypt');

/**
 * Service for managing users
 */
@Injectable()
class UsersService {
  constructor(prisma) {
    this.prisma = prisma;
  }

  /**
   * Creates a new user with hashed password
   * @param {Object} createUserDto - User creation data
   * @returns {Promise<Object>} Created user without password
   */
  async create(createUserDto) {
    // Validate unique email
    const existingUser = await this.prisma.user.findUnique({
      where: { email: createUserDto.email },
    });

    if (existingUser) {
      throw new ConflictException('El email ya está registrado');
    }

    // Hash password
    const hashedPassword = await bcrypt.hash(createUserDto.password, 12);

    // Create user
    return this.prisma.user.create({
      data: {
        ...createUserDto,
        password: hashedPassword,
      },
      select: {
        id: true,
        email: true,
        fullName: true,
        cedula: true,
        phone: true,
        role: true,
        createdAt: true,
        // NEVER include password
      },
    });
  }
}

module.exports = { UsersService };

Security Requirements (NON-NEGOTIABLE)

1. Input Validation

const { IsEmail, IsString, MinLength, Matches } = require('class-validator');

class CreateUserDto {
  @IsEmail({}, { message: 'Email inválido' })
  email;

  @IsString()
  @MinLength(8, { message: 'Contraseña debe tener mínimo 8 caracteres' })
  @Matches(/^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d)/, {
    message: 'Contraseña debe incluir mayúsculas, minúsculas y números',
  })
  password;

  @IsString()
  fullName;

  @Matches(/^\d{6,10}$/, { message: 'Cédula inválida (6-10 dígitos)' })
  cedula;
}

2. JWT Authentication

// ALWAYS use these settings
const jwtConfig = {
  secret: process.env.JWT_SECRET,
  signOptions: { expiresIn: '1h' }, // Access token
  refreshToken: { expiresIn: '7d' }, // Refresh token
};

// Hash passwords with bcrypt (12+ rounds)
const hashedPassword = await bcrypt.hash(password, 12);

3. Authorization Guards

@Injectable()
class RolesGuard {
  constructor(reflector) {
    this.reflector = reflector;
  }

  canActivate(context) {
    const requiredRoles = this.reflector.getAllAndOverride('roles', [
      context.getHandler(),
      context.getClass(),
    ]);

    if (!requiredRoles) return true;

    const { user } = context.switchToHttp().getRequest();
    return requiredRoles.some((role) => user.role === role);
  }
}

Database Best Practices

Prisma (PostgreSQL)

// ALWAYS use transactions for multi-step operations
async createDocumentWithFiles(data, files) {
  return this.prisma.$transaction(async (tx) => {
    const document = await tx.document.create({ data });
    
    await tx.file.createMany({
      data: files.map(file => ({
        ...file,
        documentId: document.id,
      })),
    });

    return document;
  });
}

// ALWAYS select only needed fields
async findById(id) {
  return this.prisma.user.findUnique({
    where: { id },
    select: {
      id: true,
      email: true,
      fullName: true,
      // NEVER select password
    },
  });
}

MongoDB GridFS (File Storage)

const { GridFSBucket, ObjectId } = require('mongodb');

@Injectable()
class StorageService {
  constructor(@InjectConnection() connection) {
    this.gridFSBucket = new GridFSBucket(connection.db, {
      bucketName: 'documents',
    });
  }

  async uploadFile(file, metadata) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      const uploadStream = this.gridFSBucket.openUploadStream(file.originalname, {
        metadata,
        contentType: file.mimetype,
      });

      const readableStream = Readable.from(file.buffer);
      readableStream.pipe(uploadStream)
        .on('error', reject)
        .on('finish', () => resolve(uploadStream.id.toString()));
    });
  }
}

Error Handling

Global Exception Filter

@Catch()
class AllExceptionsFilter {
  catch(exception, host) {
    const ctx = host.switchToHttp();
    const response = ctx.getResponse();
    const request = ctx.getRequest();

    const status = exception instanceof HttpException
      ? exception.getStatus()
      : HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR;

    const errorResponse = {
      success: false,
      error: {
        statusCode: status,
        message: exception.message,
        timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
        path: request.url,
      },
    };

    // Log error (use Winston in production)
    console.error('Error:', exception);

    response.status(status).json(errorResponse);
  }
}

Testing Requirements (MANDATORY)

Unit Tests

// users.service.spec.js
describe('UsersService', () => {
  let service;
  let prisma;

  beforeEach(async () => {
    const module = await Test.createTestingModule({
      providers: [
        UsersService,
        {
          provide: PrismaService,
          useValue: {
            user: {
              findUnique: jest.fn(),
              create: jest.fn(),
            },
          },
        },
      ],
    }).compile();

    service = module.get(UsersService);
    prisma = module.get(PrismaService);
  });

  it('should create user with hashed password', async () => {
    const mockUser = { id: '1', email: 'test@test.com' };
    jest.spyOn(prisma.user, 'create').mockResolvedValue(mockUser);

    const result = await service.create({
      email: 'test@test.com',
      password: 'Test123!',
      fullName: 'Test User',
    });

    expect(result).toEqual(mockUser);
    expect(prisma.user.create).toHaveBeenCalled();
  });
});

E2E Tests

// test/auth.e2e-spec.js
describe('Authentication (e2e)', () => {
  let app;

  beforeAll(async () => {
    const moduleFixture = await Test.createTestingModule({
      imports: [AppModule],
    }).compile();

    app = moduleFixture.createNestApplication();
    await app.init();
  });

  it('/auth/register (POST)', () => {
    return request(app.getHttpServer())
      .post('/api/v1/auth/register')
      .send({
        email: 'test@example.com',
        password: 'Test123!',
        fullName: 'Test User',
      })
      .expect(201)
      .expect((res) => {
        expect(res.body.success).toBe(true);
        expect(res.body.data.email).toBe('test@example.com');
      });
  });
});

API Documentation (Swagger)

// main.js
const config = new DocumentBuilder()
  .setTitle('Sistema de Incapacidades API')
  .setDescription('API REST para gestión de incapacidades y pensiones')
  .setVersion('1.0')
  .addBearerAuth()
  .addTag('auth', 'Autenticación y autorización')
  .addTag('users', 'Gestión de usuarios')
  .addTag('documents', 'Gestión de documentos')
  .build();

const document = SwaggerModule.createDocument(app, config);
SwaggerModule.setup('api/docs', app, document);

Performance Optimization

Database Queries

// ✅ DO: Eager load relations when needed
async findWithRelations(id) {
  return this.prisma.document.findUnique({
    where: { id },
    include: {
      user: { select: { id: true, fullName: true } },
      files: true,
    },
  });
}

// ❌ DON'T: N+1 queries
async findAll() {
  const documents = await this.prisma.document.findMany();
  // This creates N+1 queries
  for (const doc of documents) {
    doc.user = await this.prisma.user.findUnique({ where: { id: doc.userId } });
  }
}

Caching Strategy

// Use cache for frequently accessed data
async findById(id) {
  const cacheKey = `user:${id}`;
  const cached = await this.cacheManager.get(cacheKey);
  
  if (cached) return cached;

  const user = await this.prisma.user.findUnique({ where: { id } });
  await this.cacheManager.set(cacheKey, user, 300); // 5 min TTL
  
  return user;
}

Code Quality Checklist

Before ANY commit or PR:

• All endpoints have proper validation (DTOs)
• All endpoints have Swagger documentation
• Passwords are hashed with bcrypt (12+ rounds)
• JWT tokens have proper expiration
• All sensitive data in .env (NEVER hardcoded)
• All database queries optimized (no N+1)
• Error handling implemented (try/catch)
• Appropriate HTTP status codes used
• Unit tests written (80%+ coverage)
• E2E tests for critical flows
• JSDoc comments for complex logic
• No console.log in production code
• Winston logger configured

Common Mistakes to AVOID

❌ NEVER DO:

• Store passwords in plain text
• Trust frontend validation only
• Expose sensitive data in responses
• Use any in JSDoc types extensively
• Commit .env files
• Return stack traces to users
• Use synchronous bcrypt methods
• Skip input validation
• Forget to handle errors
• Hardcode configuration values
• Use var (always use const or let)

✅ ALWAYS DO:

• Validate all inputs (backend validation is mandatory)
• Use transactions for multi-step DB operations
• Implement proper error handling
• Log security-relevant events
• Use dependency injection
• Follow single responsibility principle
• Write comprehensive tests
• Document with JSDoc
• Use environment variables
• Implement rate limiting for sensitive endpoints

Communication Style

When working on tasks:

1. Understand requirements fully before coding
2. Ask clarifying questions if specifications unclear
3. Propose solutions with pros/cons
4. Explain complex decisions with JSDoc comments
5. Report blockers immediately
6. Test thoroughly before marking complete
7. Document APIs comprehensively
