template-nest

A sane, opinionated template for esm nestjs projects written in typescript.

Uses eslint, prettier, commitlint, vitest, lint-staged, husky, esbuild.

Notes

Constructor injection needs to use the Inject decorator because of tsx and esbuild support - decorators are still experimental on those tools. This is a small price to pay for such convenience. Example below:

import { Controller, Get, Inject } from "@nestjs/common";
import { AppService } from "~/app.service.js";

@Controller()
export class AppController {
  constructor(@Inject(AppService) private readonly appService: AppService) {}

  @Get()
  getHello(): string {
    return this.appService.sayHello();
  }
}
