What architectural style does this skill promote?

It promotes a clean Layered Architecture, separating code into controllers, services, and repositories to ensure codebase scalability and maintainability.

Is dependency injection supported?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for implementing a Dependency Injection (DI) container to manage service lifecycles and improve unit testability.

How does it handle security and validation?

The skill includes pre-configured middleware for JWT authentication, role-based authorization, and schema-based request validation using Zod.

Can I use this for database integration?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for the Repository layer, specifically demonstrating SQL integration (PostgreSQL), though the patterns are adaptable to NoSQL databases.

Does this skill support both Express and Fastify?

Yes, it provides optimized configurations and patterns for both the minimalist Express.js framework and the high-performance Fastify framework.

API Development

Builds production-ready Node.js backend services using Express, Fastify, and industry-standard architectural patterns.

About

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for architecting scalable and maintainable Node.js backend applications. It implements modern frameworks like Express and Fastify while enforcing best practices for layered architecture (Controllers, Services, Repositories), dependency injection, and secure middleware. Whether you're building REST APIs, GraphQL servers, or microservices, this skill helps you integrate databases, handle complex error states, and implement robust authentication and validation patterns to ensure your server-side code is ready for production environments.
