NestJS Practice Series

Introduction

NestJS is a progressive NodeJS framework designed for building efficient, reliable, and scalable server-side applications. Built on top of TypeScript (but also supporting pure JavaScript), NestJS combines elements of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), Functional Programming (FP), and Functional Reactive Programming (FRP).

The outstanding advantages of NestJS include:

• Modular architecture: Helps organize code scientifically, easy to maintain and expand for large projects.
• Powerful TypeScript support: Fully leverage static typing to minimize errors during development.
• Flexibility: Allows easy integration with other libraries (like Express or Fastify) and supports a wide variety of communication protocols (REST, GraphQL, WebSockets, Microservices).
• Rich ecosystem: Provides ready-to-use tools for processing common tasks like Validation, Caching, Database mapping (TypeORM/Prisma), and Authentication.
• Dependency Injection: A powerful mechanism that helps manage application components efficiently and makes writing Unit Tests easy.

Prerequisites

Since NestJS is a framework that runs on the NodeJS runtime environment, I encourage you to learn about NodeJS (if you don't know it yet) to have the basic knowledge before continuing with the articles in this series.
