NestJS
typescript modules controllers and dependency injection
Why learn NestJS?
Useful when a Node application benefits from consistent architecture and testable dependencies. Framework structure does not replace clear domain boundaries.
Where it came from
NestJS structures server-side applications around modules, controllers, and injectable providers. It uses TypeScript and integrates with underlying HTTP platforms.
