Overview of this book

Nest.js is a modern web framework built on a Node.js Express server. With the knowledge of how to use this framework, you can give your applications an organized codebase and a well-defined structure. The book begins by showing how to use Nest.js controllers, providers, modules, bootstrapping, and middleware in your applications. You’ll learn to use the authentication feature of Node.js to manage the restriction access in your application, and how to leverage the Dependency Injection pattern to speed up your application development. As you advance through the book, you'll also see how Nest.js uses TypeORM—an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) that works with several relational databases. You’ll use Nest.js microservices to extract part of your application’s business logic and execute it within a separate Nest.js context. Toward the end of the book, you’ll learn to write tests (both unit tests as well as end-to-end ones) and how to check the percentage of the code your tests cover. By the end of this book, you’ll have all the knowledge you need to build your own Nest.js applications.

API request and response decorators

So far we have been primarily focused on decorating controllers, so the Nest.js swagger module can build a swagger document containing all of the inputs our APIs expect or could use. The Nest.js swagger module also contains decorators that can be used to describe with what and how APIs respond and the format of the content it expects to receive and send. These decorators help form a complete picture of how a specific API works when looking at the swagger document or when using the swagger UI.

All of the APIs we have covered in our example blog application follow a typical modal of accepting inputs in the form of JSON. However, it is possible that an application may need to take a different input type, often referred to as a MIME type. For example, we could allow users of our example blog application to upload an avatar image. An image cannot easily be represented as JSON so we would need to build an API that takes an input MIME type of image/png. We...
