📘 Introduction

This template is structured to help you quickly start developing your NestJS application. Here's how you can make the most of it:

• Modules: Add new features by creating modules in the src/modules directory. Each module should encapsulate related functionality, including controllers, services, and repositories.

• Controllers: Define your API endpoints in controllers. Place them in the respective module's directory under src/modules.

• Services: Implement your business logic in services. These should also be placed within the module's directory.

• Repositories: Interact with the database using repositories. Define them in the module's directory and use Prisma or TypeORM for database operations.

• DTOs (Data Transfer Objects): Define DTOs in the dto directory within each module to validate and type-check incoming data.

• Guards and Interceptors: Implement guards and interceptors in the src/common directory to handle cross-cutting concerns like authentication and logging.

• Configuration: Manage application configuration using the ConfigModule in src/config. Environment variables can be defined in .env files.

• Internationalization: Add translations in the src/i18n directory to support multiple languages.

• Swagger Documentation: Automatically generate API documentation by annotating your controllers and DTOs with Swagger decorators.
