A NestJS backend application built with TypeScript.

This is a boilerplate NestJS application with TypeScript, providing a solid foundation for building scalable server-side applications.

• Node.js (v18 or higher)
• npm or yarn

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Development mode with hot reload
npm run start:dev

# Production mode
npm run build
npm run start:prod

# Debug mode
npm run start:debug

The application will be available at http://localhost:3000/api

• GET /api - Welcome message
• GET /api/health - Health check endpoint

# Unit tests
npm run test

# E2E tests
npm run test:e2e

# Test coverage
npm run test:cov

# Watch mode
npm run test:watch

# Lint code
npm run lint

# Format code
npm run format

Create a .env file in the root directory based on .env.example:

PORT=3000
NODE_ENV=development
MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/heatstack

This application uses MongoDB with Mongoose.

Using Docker:

docker run -d -p 27017:27017 --name mongodb mongo:latest

Or install locally:

• macOS: brew install mongodb-community && brew services start mongodb-community
• Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install mongodb
• Windows: Download from mongodb.com

For detailed database configuration, see DATABASE.md

npm run build

The compiled files will be in the dist/ directory.

• NestJS - Progressive Node.js framework
• TypeScript - Typed JavaScript
• Jest - Testing framework
• ESLint - Code linting
• Prettier - Code formatting

1. Install dependencies: npm install
2. Start development server: npm run start:dev
3. Visit http://localhost:3000/api to see your application running
4. Begin adding your own modules, controllers, and services

To create new modules, controllers, or services, you can use NestJS CLI:

# Generate a new module
nest g module users

# Generate a new controller
nest g controller users

# Generate a new service
nest g service users

# Generate a complete resource (CRUD)
nest g resource users
