🚨 Import Patterns (v10.1.x Breaking Change)

Always use specific subpaths for tree-shaking optimization:

// ❌ WRONG - Don't import from root
import { Auth, AuditLogService, toPascalCase } from '@edsis/nest';

// ✅ CORRECT - Use specific subpaths
import { Auth, Public } from '@edsis/nest/decorators';
import { AuditLogService } from '@edsis/nest/audit';
import { toPascalCase } from '@edsis/nest/utils';

📊 Subpath Exports Guide

Each subpath contains related functionality for specific use cases:

Module/Service Setup (for app configuration)

| Subpath | Exports | Use Case | Example | | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | @edsis/nest/auth | AuthModule, JwtStrategy | Setup JWT authentication | imports: [AuthModule.register({ secret: 'xxx' })] | | @edsis/nest/audit | AuditModule, AuditLogService, @AuditLog | Audit trail & compliance logging | await this.auditLog.log('user.create', userId, dto) | | @edsis/nest/cache | RedisCacheService, CacheModule | Redis caching layer | this.cache.set('key', value, ttl) | | @edsis/nest/health | HealthModule, HealthService | K8s health checks | imports: [HealthModule] | | @edsis/nest/search | SearchModule, SearchService, @Searchable | Full-text search | @Searchable(['title', 'description']) |

NestJS Building Blocks (for controllers/services)

| Subpath | Exports | Use Case | Example | | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | @edsis/nest/decorators | @Auth, @Public, @CurrentUser, @InvalidateCache, @RateLimit | Route protection & metadata | @Auth('admin') or @Public() | | @edsis/nest/guards | JwtAuthGuard, RolesGuard, RateLimitGuard, CsrfGuard | Request validation | @UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard) | | @edsis/nest/interceptors | LoggingInterceptor, PerformanceInterceptor, CacheInvalidationInterceptor | Request/response processing | @UseInterceptors(LoggingInterceptor) | | @edsis/nest/filters | HttpExceptionFilter, AllExceptionsFilter | Error handling | app.useGlobalFilters(new HttpExceptionFilter()) | | @edsis/nest/pipes | ValidationPipe, SanitizePipe, ParseIntPipe | Data transformation | @Body(new ValidationPipe()) dto |

Utilities & Helpers (for business logic)

| Subpath | Exports | Use Case | Example | | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | @edsis/nest/utils | toPascalCase, toCamelCase, toSnakeCase, CircuitBreaker | String manipulation & resilience | toPascalCase('user_profile') → 'UserProfile' | | @edsis/nest/validators | @IsUnique, @IsStrongPassword, SecurityValidator | Input validation | @IsUnique({ table: 'users', column: 'email' }) | | @edsis/nest/common | PaginationDto, ResponseDto, FilterDto | DTOs & response wrappers | ResponseDto.success(data, 'User created') | | @edsis/nest/interfaces | ApiResponse, PaginatedResult, JwtPayload | TypeScript types | const response: ApiResponse<User> = ... |

🎯 When to Use Each Subpath

Setup Phase (main.ts or module imports):

import { AuthModule } from '@edsis/nest/auth';
import { AuditModule } from '@edsis/nest/audit';
import { HealthModule } from '@edsis/nest/health';

@Module({
  imports: [
    AuthModule.register({ secret: process.env.JWT_SECRET }),
    AuditModule.forRoot({ database: 'postgres' }),
    HealthModule,
  ]
})

Controller Phase (route handlers):

import { Auth, Public, CurrentUser } from '@edsis/nest/decorators';
import { JwtAuthGuard, RolesGuard } from '@edsis/nest/guards';
import { LoggingInterceptor } from '@edsis/nest/interceptors';
import { PaginationDto, ResponseDto } from '@edsis/nest/common';

@Controller('users')
@UseInterceptors(LoggingInterceptor)
export class UsersController {
  @Auth('admin') // Only admin can access
  @Get()
  async findAll(@Query() pagination: PaginationDto) {
    const users = await this.service.findAll(pagination);
    return ResponseDto.paginated(users, meta, links);
  }

  @Public() // No authentication required
  @Post('register')
  async register(@Body() dto: CreateUserDto) {
    const user = await this.service.create(dto);
    return ResponseDto.created(user, 'User registered successfully');
  }

  @Auth() // Any authenticated user
  @Get('me')
  async getProfile(@CurrentUser() user: JwtPayload) {
    return ResponseDto.success(user, 'Profile retrieved');
  }
}

Service Phase (business logic):

import { AuditLogService } from '@edsis/nest/audit';
import { RedisCacheService } from '@edsis/nest/cache';
import { toPascalCase, toCamelCase } from '@edsis/nest/utils';
import { CircuitBreaker } from '@edsis/nest/utils';

@Injectable()
export class UsersService {
  private readonly circuitBreaker = new CircuitBreaker({
    threshold: 5,
    timeout: 60000,
  });

  constructor(
    private readonly auditLog: AuditLogService,
    private readonly cache: RedisCacheService,
  ) {}

  async create(dto: CreateUserDto, userId: number) {
    // Transform data
    const entityName = toPascalCase(dto.firstName);

    // Business logic
    const user = await this.repository.create(dto);

    // Audit trail
    await this.auditLog.log('user.create', userId, {
      action: 'CREATE',
      entity: 'User',
      entityId: user.id,
      newValue: user,
    });

    // Cache invalidation
    await this.cache.del(`users:${user.id}`);

    return user;
  }

  async externalApiCall() {
    return this.circuitBreaker.execute(() => this.httpService.get('https://api.example.com/data'));
  }
}

Validation Phase (DTOs):

import { IsUnique } from '@edsis/nest/validators';
import { PaginationDto } from '@edsis/nest/common';

export class CreateUserDto {
  @IsUnique({ table: 'users', column: 'email' })
  @IsEmail()
  email: string;

  @IsUnique({ table: 'users', column: 'username' })
  @MinLength(3)
  username: string;
}

export class GetUsersDto extends PaginationDto {
  @IsOptional()
  search?: string;
}

💡 Best Practices

✅ DO:

• Use specific subpaths for smaller bundle size
• Group imports by subpath for readability
• Import types from /interfaces when needed
• Use /common for shared DTOs across modules

❌ DON'T:

• Import from root @edsis/nest (except for backward compatibility)
• Mix subpath and root imports in same file
• Import entire module when you only need one function

Example: Clean Import Organization

// Group 1: NestJS core
import { Controller, Get, Post, Body, UseGuards } from '@nestjs/common';

// Group 2: @edsis/nest decorators
import { Auth, Public, CurrentUser } from '@edsis/nest/decorators';

// Group 3: @edsis/nest guards
import { JwtAuthGuard } from '@edsis/nest/guards';

// Group 4: @edsis/nest common (DTOs)
import { PaginationDto, ResponseDto } from '@edsis/nest/common';

// Group 5: @edsis/nest interfaces
import { JwtPayload } from '@edsis/nest/interfaces';

// Group 6: Local imports
import { UsersService } from './users.service';
import { CreateUserDto } from './dto/create-user.dto';

📈 Bundle Size Impact

| Import Method | Bundle Size | Tree-Shaking | Load Time | | --------------------------- | ---------------- | ------------ | --------- | | Root import (@edsis/nest) | ~150 KB | ❌ Difficult | Slower | | Subpath imports | ~50-80 KB | ✅ Optimal | Faster | | Improvement | -50% to -70% | +90% | -30% |

🎯 Features Documentation

1. Authentication & Authorization (JWT + RBAC)

Decorators

@Auth(...roles) - Simplified authentication with optional role-based access

import { Auth } from '@edsis/nest/decorators';

@Controller('users')
export class UserController {
  // Require authentication (any authenticated user)
  @Auth()
  @Get('profile')
  getProfile(@CurrentUser() user: UserContext) {
    return user;
  }

  // Require specific role (OR logic - user needs ONE of these roles)
  @Auth('admin', 'manager')
  @Delete(':id')
  deleteUser(@Param('id') id: string) {
    // Only admin OR manager can access
  }
}

@Public() - Mark routes as public (bypass authentication)

import { Auth, Public } from '@edsis/nest/decorators';

@Auth() // Controller-level auth
@Controller('posts')
export class PostsController {
  @Public() // This route is public
  @Get()
  findAll() {
    return this.postsService.findAll();
  }

  @Post() // This route requires auth
  create(@Body() dto: CreatePostDto) {
    return this.postsService.create(dto);
  }
}

@CurrentUser() - Extract authenticated user from request

import { CurrentUser, UserContext } from '@edsis/nest/decorators';

@Auth()
@Get('me')
getMe(@CurrentUser() user: UserContext) {
  // user contains: { id, email, roles, ... }
  return user;
}

Guards

JwtAuthGuard - Validates JWT tokens

import { JwtAuthGuard } from '@edsis/nest/guards';

@UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard)
@Get('protected')
protectedRoute() {
  return 'Protected data';
}

RolesGuard - Role-based access control (OR logic)

import { JwtAuthGuard, RolesGuard } from '@edsis/nest/guards';

@UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard, RolesGuard)
@SetMetadata('roles', ['admin', 'moderator'])
@Delete(':id')
deleteItem(@Param('id') id: string) {
  // User must have 'admin' OR 'moderator' role
}

JwtAuthStrategy - Passport JWT strategy

import { JwtAuthStrategy } from '@edsis/nest/auth';

// Automatically configured when using @Auth() decorator
// Validates JWT and loads user context

2. Data Validation (DTOs, Validators, Pipes)

DTOs

PaginationDto - Validated pagination parameters

import { PaginationDto } from '@edsis/nest/common';

@Get()
findAll(@Query() pagination: PaginationDto) {
  // pagination: { page: 1, limit: 10, offset: 0, skip: 0 }
  // Computed properties: offset, skip
  // Validation: page >= 1, limit 1-100
}

ResponseDto - Standardized API response format

import { ResponseDto } from '@edsis/nest/common';

@Get(':id')
async findOne(@Param('id') id: string): Promise<ResponseDto<User>> {
  const user = await this.service.findOne(id);
  return new ResponseDto(user, 'User retrieved successfully');
}

// Response format:
// {
//   "success": true,
//   "message": "User retrieved successfully",
//   "data": { ... },
//   "timestamp": "2025-11-28T12:00:00.000Z"
// }

FilterDto - Advanced filtering, sorting, field selection

import { FilterDto } from '@edsis/nest/common';

@Get()
findAll(@Query() filter: FilterDto) {
  // filter.search - Full-text search
  // filter.sort - Sort field (e.g., "name,-createdAt")
  // filter.fields - Field selection (e.g., "id,name,email")
}

Pipes

ParseIntPipe - Safe integer parsing with defaults

import { ParseIntPipe } from '@edsis/nest/pipes';

@Get(':id')
findOne(@Param('id', new ParseIntPipe()) id: number) {
  // Safely parses string to number with error handling
}

TrimPipe - Remove leading/trailing whitespace

import { TrimPipe } from '@edsis/nest/pipes';

@Post()
create(@Body('name', TrimPipe) name: string) {
  // " John Doe " → "John Doe"
}

SanitizePipe - XSS prevention (HTML entity encoding)

import { SanitizePipe } from '@edsis/nest/pipes';

@Post()
create(@Body('content', SanitizePipe) content: string) {
  // "<script>alert('xss')</script>" → "&lt;script&gt;alert('xss')&lt;/script&gt;"
}

Validators

SecurityValidator - SQL injection & XSS detection

import { SecurityValidator } from '@edsis/nest/validators';

const isSafe = SecurityValidator.isSafeString('SELECT * FROM users');
// Returns: false (SQL injection detected)

const isClean = SecurityValidator.isSafeString('John Doe');
// Returns: true

Custom Validators - class-validator decorators

import { IsSafeString, IsStrongPassword } from '@edsis/nest/validators';

export class CreateUserDto {
  @IsSafeString({ message: 'Username contains unsafe characters' })
  username: string;

  @IsStrongPassword({
    minLength: 8,
    requireUppercase: true,
    requireNumbers: true,
  })
  password: string;
}

3. API Response (Standardized Format)

Interfaces

ApiResponse - Generic API response structure

import { ApiResponse } from '@edsis/nest/common';

interface ApiResponse<T> {
  success: boolean;
  message: string;
  data?: T;
  error?: string;
  timestamp: string;
}

PaginatedResult - Paginated data structure

import { PaginatedResult } from '@edsis/nest/common';

interface PaginatedResult<T> {
  data: T[];
  total: number;
  page: number;
  limit: number;
  totalPages: number;
}

UserContext - Authenticated user data

import { UserContext } from '@edsis/nest/decorators';

interface UserContext {
  id: string | number;
  email: string;
  roles?: string[];
  [key: string]: any;
}

JwtPayload - JWT token payload structure

import { JwtPayload } from '@edsis/nest/auth';

interface JwtPayload {
  sub: string | number;
  email: string;
  roles?: string[];
  iat?: number;
  exp?: number;
}

4. Database Module (NEW in v11.3.0)

Global module that provides DATABASE_POOL for dependency injection. Supports PostgreSQL and MySQL with connection pooling and lifecycle management.

Simple Usage (Environment Variables)

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { ConfigModule } from '@nestjs/config';
import { DatabaseModule } from '@edsis/nest/database';

@Module({
  imports: [
    ConfigModule.forRoot({ isGlobal: true }),
    DatabaseModule.forRoot(), // ← Auto-reads from environment
    UsersModule,
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Environment Variables:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=5432
DB_DATABASE=mydb
DB_USERNAME=postgres
DB_PASSWORD=secret
DB_POOL_MAX=10
DB_POOL_MIN=2
DB_SSL=false

Custom Configuration

import { DatabaseModule } from '@edsis/nest/database';

@Module({
  imports: [
    DatabaseModule.forRoot({
      type: 'postgresql', // or 'mysql', 'mariadb'
      host: 'localhost',
      port: 5432,
      database: 'mydb',
      username: 'postgres',
      password: 'secret',
      pool: {
        min: 2,
        max: 10,
        idleTimeoutMillis: 30000,
        connectionTimeoutMillis: 2000,
      },
      ssl: false,
      logging: true,
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Async Configuration

import { DatabaseModule } from '@edsis/nest/database';
import { ConfigService } from '@nestjs/config';

@Module({
  imports: [
    DatabaseModule.forRootAsync({
      useFactory: (config: ConfigService) => ({
        type: 'postgresql' as const,
        host: config.get('DB_HOST'),
        port: config.get('DB_PORT'),
        database: config.get('DB_DATABASE'),
        username: config.get('DB_USERNAME'),
        password: config.get('DB_PASSWORD'),
      }),
      inject: [ConfigService],
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Using DATABASE_POOL in Repositories

import { Injectable, Inject } from '@nestjs/common';
import { Pool } from 'pg';

@Injectable()
export class UsersRepository {
  constructor(@Inject('DATABASE_POOL') private readonly pool: Pool) {}

  async findAll(): Promise<User[]> {
    const result = await this.pool.query('SELECT * FROM users');
    return result.rows;
  }

  async create(dto: CreateUserDto): Promise<User> {
    const query = `
      INSERT INTO users (name, email)
      VALUES ($1, $2)
      RETURNING *
    `;
    const result = await this.pool.query(query, [dto.name, dto.email]);
    return result.rows[0];
  }
}

Health Check Integration

import { Controller, Get } from '@nestjs/common';
import { DatabaseHealthIndicator } from '@edsis/nest/database';

@Controller('health')
export class HealthController {
  constructor(private db: DatabaseHealthIndicator) {}

  @Get('db')
  async checkDatabase() {
    return this.db.check(); // Returns: { status: 'up', responseTime: 5, type: 'postgresql' }
  }

  @Get('db/ping')
  async pingDatabase() {
    return this.db.ping(1000); // Timeout after 1000ms
  }
}

Key Benefits:

• ✅ No manual DATABASE_POOL provider in every module
• ✅ Consistent configuration across all modules
• ✅ Works seamlessly with @edsis/generator generated repositories
• ✅ Graceful shutdown on application close
• ✅ Built-in health checks

5. Audit Trail

Complete audit logging system moved from @edsis/generator. Tracks all entity changes (CREATE, UPDATE, DELETE) with before/after snapshots.

AuditModule Setup

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { AuditModule } from '@edsis/nest/audit';

@Module({
  imports: [
    AuditModule.forRoot({
      tableName: 'audit_logs',
      database: 'postgresql', // or 'mysql'
      pool: databasePool, // pg.Pool or mysql2.Pool
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Using AuditLogService

import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { AuditLogService } from '@edsis/nest/audit';

@Injectable()
export class UsersService {
  constructor(private readonly auditLog: AuditLogService) {}

  async create(dto: CreateUserDto, userId: string) {
    const user = await this.repository.create(dto);

    // Log the creation
    await this.auditLog.log('user.create', userId, {
      entityName: 'users',
      entityId: user.id,
      after: user,
    });

    return user;
  }

  async update(id: string, dto: UpdateUserDto, userId: string) {
    const before = await this.repository.findOne(id);
    const after = await this.repository.update(id, dto);

    // Log the update with before/after
    await this.auditLog.log('user.update', userId, {
      entityName: 'users',
      entityId: id,
      before,
      after,
    });

    return after;
  }
}

@AuditLog Decorator

@AuditLog(action) - Automatic audit trail logging

import { AuditLog } from '@edsis/nest/audit';
import { Auth } from '@edsis/nest/decorators';

@Controller('users')
export class UsersController {
  @Auth()
  @AuditLog('user.create')
  @Post()
  async create(@Body() dto: CreateUserDto, @CurrentUser() user: UserContext) {
    // Automatically logs: action, user, timestamp, request data
    return this.usersService.create(dto);
  }

  @Auth()
  @AuditLog('user.update')
  @Put(':id')
  async update(@Param('id') id: string, @Body() dto: UpdateUserDto) {
    // Audit log created with action, user, before/after data
    return this.usersService.update(id, dto);
  }

  @AuditLog('user.delete')
  @Delete(':id')
  async delete(@Param('id') id: string) {
    // Tracks deletion with audit trail
    return this.usersService.delete(id);
  }
}

AuditInterceptor - Global audit logging

import { AuditInterceptor } from '@edsis/nest';

// In main.ts or module
app.useGlobalInterceptors(new AuditInterceptor());

// Automatically logs all requests with:
// - HTTP method, URL, status code
// - Request/response payload
// - User information (if authenticated)
// - Execution time

LoggingInterceptor - Request/response logging

import { LoggingInterceptor } from '@edsis/nest';

@Controller('posts')
@UseInterceptors(LoggingInterceptor)
export class PostsController {
  @Get()
  findAll() {
    // Logs: Request received, response time, status
    return this.postsService.findAll();
  }
}

// Global usage in main.ts:
app.useGlobalInterceptors(new LoggingInterceptor());

5. Caching

@InvalidateCache(...keys) - Cache invalidation on mutations

import { InvalidateCache } from '@edsis/nest';

@Controller('products')
export class ProductsController {
  @Get()
  @CacheTTL(300) // Cache for 5 minutes
  async findAll() {
    return this.productsService.findAll();
  }

  @InvalidateCache('products') // Clear products cache
  @Post()
  async create(@Body() dto: CreateProductDto) {
    return this.productsService.create(dto);
  }

  @InvalidateCache('products', 'product:${id}') // Clear list + specific item
  @Put(':id')
  async update(@Param('id') id: string, @Body() dto: UpdateProductDto) {
    return this.productsService.update(id, dto);
  }

  @InvalidateCache('products') // Clear all products cache
  @Delete(':id')
  async delete(@Param('id') id: string) {
    return this.productsService.delete(id);
  }
}

CacheInvalidationInterceptor - Automatic cache invalidation

import { CacheInvalidationInterceptor } from '@edsis/nest';

// Global usage
app.useGlobalInterceptors(new CacheInvalidationInterceptor(cacheManager));

// Automatically invalidates cache based on @InvalidateCache decorators
// Supports pattern matching: 'user:*', 'products', etc.

6. Error Handling

AllExceptionsFilter - Global error handling

import { AllExceptionsFilter } from '@edsis/nest';

// In main.ts
app.useGlobalFilters(new AllExceptionsFilter());

// Handles ALL exceptions with standardized response:
// {
//   "success": false,
//   "error": "Error message",
//   "statusCode": 500,
//   "timestamp": "2025-11-28T12:00:00.000Z",
//   "path": "/api/users"
// }

HttpExceptionFilter - HTTP-specific error handling

import { HttpExceptionFilter } from '@edsis/nest';

// In main.ts
app.useGlobalFilters(new HttpExceptionFilter());

// Handles HttpException with detailed response:
// - Validation errors (400)
// - Unauthorized (401)
// - Forbidden (403)
// - Not Found (404)
// - Internal Server Error (500)

// Example response for validation error:
// {
//   "success": false,
//   "message": "Validation failed",
//   "errors": [
//     { "field": "email", "message": "Email is required" }
//   ],
//   "statusCode": 400,
//   "timestamp": "2025-11-28T12:00:00.000Z"
// }

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install package

npm install @edsis/nest

2. Basic authentication setup

import { Auth, CurrentUser, UserContext } from '@edsis/nest';

@Controller('users')
export class UsersController {
  @Auth()
  @Get('profile')
  getProfile(@CurrentUser() user: UserContext) {
    return user;
  }

  @Auth('admin')
  @Delete(':id')
  deleteUser(@Param('id') id: string) {
    return this.usersService.delete(id);
  }
}

3. Use DTOs for validation

import { PaginationDto, ResponseDto } from '@edsis/nest';

@Get()
async findAll(@Query() pagination: PaginationDto): Promise<ResponseDto<User[]>> {
  const users = await this.service.findAll(pagination);
  return new ResponseDto(users, 'Users retrieved successfully');
}

4. Setup global error handling and logging

import { AllExceptionsFilter, LoggingInterceptor } from '@edsis/nest';

// In main.ts
async function bootstrap() {
  const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);

  // Global error handling
  app.useGlobalFilters(new AllExceptionsFilter());

  // Global logging
  app.useGlobalInterceptors(new LoggingInterceptor());

  await app.listen(3000);
}
bootstrap();

5. Rate Limiting (Prevent abuse)

import { RateLimitGuard, RateLimit } from '@edsis/nest/guards';
import { MemoryRateLimitStorage, RedisRateLimitStorage } from '@edsis/nest/cache';

// In main.ts (global rate limiting)
const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
const reflector = app.get(Reflector);
const storage = app.get('RATE_LIMIT_STORAGE'); // or new MemoryRateLimitStorage()

app.useGlobalGuards(
  new RateLimitGuard(reflector, storage, {
    limit: 100, // 100 requests per minute
    window: 60000,
  }),
);

// In controller (custom limits per endpoint)
@Controller('auth')
export class AuthController {
  // Strict limit for login attempts
  @Post('login')
  @RateLimit(5) // 5 attempts per minute
  async login(@Body() dto: LoginDto) {
    return this.authService.login(dto);
  }

  // Public endpoint without rate limit
  @Get('health')
  @SkipRateLimit()
  health() {
    return { status: 'ok' };
  }
}

// Setup storage provider
@Module({
  providers: [
    {
      provide: 'RATE_LIMIT_STORAGE',
      useClass: RedisRateLimitStorage, // or MemoryRateLimitStorage
    },
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

6. Health Checks (Kubernetes ready)

import { HealthModule } from '@edsis/nest/health';

// Basic usage
@Module({
  imports: [HealthModule],
})
export class AppModule {}

// Endpoints available:
// GET /health - Full health check
// GET /health/live - Liveness probe
// GET /health/ready - Readiness probe

// Kubernetes deployment.yaml
/*
livenessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /health/live
    port: 3000
  initialDelaySeconds: 30
  periodSeconds: 10

readinessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /health/ready
    port: 3000
  initialDelaySeconds: 5
  periodSeconds: 5
*/

7. Circuit Breaker (Resilience)

import { CircuitBreaker, UseCircuitBreaker } from '@edsis/nest/utils';

// Method decorator
class UserService {
  @UseCircuitBreaker({
    timeout: 3000,
    errorThresholdPercentage: 50,
    resetTimeout: 30000,
    fallback: () => ({ id: 'unknown', name: 'Guest' }),
  })
  async fetchUserFromExternalAPI(id: string): Promise<User> {
    // This call is protected by circuit breaker
    return await this.httpService.get(`/users/${id}`);
  }
}

// Manual usage
const breaker = new CircuitBreaker<User>(
  async (userId: string) => {
    return await this.userService.findOne(userId);
  },
  {
    timeout: 3000,
    errorThresholdPercentage: 50,
    fallback: () => null,
  },
);

const user = await breaker.execute('user-123');

// Check circuit state
const stats = breaker.getStats();
console.log(stats.state); // CLOSED, OPEN, or HALF_OPEN

8. Audit logging for sensitive operations

import { AuditLog } from '@edsis/nest/audit';
import { Auth } from '@edsis/nest/decorators';

@Controller('admin')
export class AdminController {
  @AuditLog('admin.user.delete')
  @Auth('admin')
  @Delete('users/:id')
  async deleteUser(@Param('id') id: string) {
    // Automatically tracked in audit log
    return this.adminService.deleteUser(id);
  }
}

9. String utilities for naming conventions

import { toPascalCase, toSnakeCase, pluralize } from '@edsis/nest/utils';

// Generate class names
const className = toPascalCase('user_profile'); // 'UserProfile'

// Generate database column names
const columnName = toSnakeCase('createdAt'); // 'created_at'

// Generate plural forms
const tableName = pluralize('user'); // 'users'
