Core Services

Article Management

// article.service.ts
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { ArticleBaseService } from '@rytass/cms-base-nestjs-module';

@Injectable()
export class ArticleService {
  constructor(private readonly articleBaseService: ArticleBaseService) {}

  async createArticle(data: CreateArticleDto) {
    return await this.articleBaseService.create({
      title: data.title,
      content: data.content,
      categoryIds: data.categoryIds,
      language: data.language || 'zh-TW',
      authorId: data.authorId,
      customFields: data.customFields,
    });
  }

  async publishArticle(articleId: string, userId: string) {
    return await this.articleBaseService.release(articleId, { userId });
  }

  async getArticleWithVersions(articleId: string) {
    return await this.articleBaseService.findById(articleId);
  }
}

Category Management

// category.service.ts
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { CategoryBaseService } from '@rytass/cms-base-nestjs-module';

@Injectable()
export class CategoryService {
  constructor(private readonly categoryBaseService: CategoryBaseService) {}

  async createCategory(data: CreateCategoryDto) {
    return await this.categoryBaseService.create({
      names: data.names, // Multi-language names
      parentId: data.parentId,
      description: data.description,
      sortOrder: data.sortOrder,
    });
  }

  async getCategoryTree() {
    return await this.categoryBaseService.findAll();
  }

  async getArticlesByCategory(categoryId: string, options = {}) {
    return await this.categoryBaseService.findArticles(categoryId, {
      page: options.page || 1,
      limit: options.limit || 10,
      includeSubCategories: true,
    });
  }
}

Data Models

Article Entity

import { BaseArticleEntity } from '@rytass/cms-base-nestjs-module';
import { Entity, Column } from 'typeorm';

@Entity('articles')
export class Article extends BaseArticleEntity {
  @Column({ type: 'jsonb', nullable: true })
  customFields?: Record<string, any>;

  @Column({ nullable: true })
  featuredImage?: string;

  @Column({ type: 'text', array: true, default: [] })
  tags: string[];
}

Category Entity

import { BaseCategoryEntity } from '@rytass/cms-base-nestjs-module';
import { Entity, Column } from 'typeorm';

@Entity('categories')
export class Category extends BaseCategoryEntity {
  @Column({ nullable: true })
  icon?: string;

  @Column({ type: 'jsonb', nullable: true })
  metadata?: Record<string, any>;

  @Column({ default: true })
  isActive: boolean;
}

Multi-Language Support

// Create multi-language article
const article = await articleService.createArticle({
  title: {
    'zh-TW': '中文標題',
    'en-US': 'English Title',
    'ja-JP': '日本語タイトル',
  },
  content: {
    'zh-TW': '中文內容...',
    'en-US': 'English content...',
    'ja-JP': '日本語の内容...',
  },
  categoryIds: ['category-1', 'category-2'],
  language: 'zh-TW', // Primary language
});

// Query articles in specific language
const articles = await articleService.findArticles({
  language: 'en-US',
  status: 'published',
});

Version Control

// Add a new version to an article
const article = await articleService.addVersion(articleId, {
  title: 'Updated Title',
  content: 'Updated content',
});

// Get specific version of an article
const articleWithVersion = await articleService.findById(articleId, {
  version: 2, // Specific version number
});

// Delete a version
await articleService.deleteVersion(articleId, versionNumber);

Approval Workflow

// Submit article for approval
await articleService.submit(articleId, { userId });

// Approve a specific article version
await articleService.approveVersion(
  { id: articleId, version: 1 },
  { userId: managerId, signatureLevelId: 'level-2' },
);

// Reject a specific article version
await articleService.rejectVersion(
  { id: articleId },
  { userId: managerId, signatureLevelId: 'level-2', reason: 'Content needs revision' },
);

Full-Text Search

import { ArticleSearchMode } from '@rytass/cms-base-nestjs-module';

// Full-text search using findCollection with searchTerm
const searchResults = await articleService.findCollection({
  searchTerm: 'search keywords',
  searchMode: ArticleSearchMode.FULL_TEXT, // FULL_TEXT | TITLE | TITLE_AND_TAG
  offset: 0,
  limit: 20,
});

// Title and tag search
const titleResults = await articleService.findCollection({
  searchTerm: 'keywords',
  searchMode: ArticleSearchMode.TITLE_AND_TAG,
  requiredCategoryIds: ['tech-category-id'],
});

DataLoader Integration

// Use DataLoader to optimize N+1 query problems
import { ArticleDataloader, CategoryDataloader } from '@rytass/cms-base-nestjs-module';

@Injectable()
export class ArticleResolver {
  constructor(
    private readonly articleDataloader: ArticleDataloader,
    private readonly categoryDataloader: CategoryDataloader,
  ) {}

  @ResolveField()
  async categories(@Parent() article: Article) {
    return this.categoryDataloader.loadMany(article.categoryIds);
  }

  @ResolveField()
  async relatedArticles(@Parent() article: Article) {
    return this.articleDataloader.loadRelated(article.id);
  }
}

Error Handling

import {
  ArticleNotFoundError,
  CategoryNotFoundError,
  InsufficientPermissionError,
} from '@rytass/cms-base-nestjs-module';

try {
  await articleService.publishArticle(articleId, userId);
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof ArticleNotFoundError) {
    throw new NotFoundException('Article not found');
  } else if (error instanceof InsufficientPermissionError) {
    throw new ForbiddenException('Insufficient permissions');
  }
  throw error;
}

Best Practices

Performance

• Use DataLoader to avoid N+1 query problems
• Set up appropriate database indexes
• Use pagination for large data queries
• Enable query caching mechanisms

Security

• Implement proper permission controls
• Validate user inputs
• Use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection
• Log sensitive operation activities

Scalability

• Separate read and write operations
• Use Redis caching for hot content
• Implement content delivery networks (CDN)
• Consider database sharding strategies
