How to use

  1. Copy the installation command and review the source package before installing it in your own agent environment.
  2. Check the source document for required tools, credentials and supported hosts.
  3. Describe your input and desired deliverable; review the output against the source material.

Before you start

  • Installation does not include a model subscription, API allowance or permission to access your files.
  • Repository stars and installation counts describe activity, not an independent quality or security test.

Fullstack Feature Developer

Guide feature development for Next.js/NestJS full-stack applications.

Extends: Generic Feature Developer - Read base skill for development workflow, decision frameworks, data flow patterns, and error handling.

Full-Stack Data Flow

User Action → Event Handler → API Call → NestJS Controller
                                              ↓
UI Update ← Response ← Service ← Prisma ← Database

Request/Response Cycle

typescript
// Frontend: Call API
const response = await fetch('/api/users', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify(userData),
});

// Backend: Handle request
@Post()
@UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard)
async createUser(@Body() dto: CreateUserDto) {
  return this.userService.create(dto);
}

Next.js App Router Patterns

File Conventions

FilePurpose
page.tsxRoute UI (server component by default)
layout.tsxShared UI wrapper
loading.tsxSuspense loading UI
error.tsxError boundary
route.tsAPI endpoint

Server vs Client Components

typescript
// Server Component (default) - can fetch data
export default async function Page() {
  const data = await getData(); // Direct DB/API call
  return <div>{data.title}</div>;
}

// Client Component - needs 'use client'
'use client';
export default function Interactive() {
  const [state, setState] = useState();
  return <button onClick={() => setState(...)}>Click</button>;
}

NestJS Module Pattern

Module → Controller → Service → Prisma

Adding a Feature Module

typescript
// 1. Module definition
@Module({
  controllers: [UsersController],
  providers: [UsersService],
  exports: [UsersService],
})
export class UsersModule {}

// 2. Controller with guards
@Controller("users")
@UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard)
export class UsersController {
  @Post()
  create(@Body() dto: CreateUserDto) {
    return this.usersService.create(dto);
  }
}

// 3. Service with Prisma
@Injectable()
export class UsersService {
  constructor(private prisma: PrismaService) {}

  create(dto: CreateUserDto) {
    return this.prisma.user.create({ data: dto });
  }
}

Prisma Workflow

Schema Changes

bash
# 1. Edit schema.prisma
# 2. Create migration
npx prisma migrate dev --name add_user_role

# 3. Regenerate client
npx prisma generate

# 4. Update services to use new fields

Type-Safe Queries

typescript
// ✓ Type-safe with generated types
const user = await this.prisma.user.findUnique({
  where: { id },
  include: { posts: true },
});

// ✗ Avoid raw SQL
await this.prisma.$queryRaw`SELECT * FROM users`; // No type safety

Authentication Flow

Login Request → Validate Credentials → Generate JWT → Set Cookie
      ↓
Protected Route → JwtAuthGuard → Extract User → Inject to Controller

Auth Integration Points

typescript
// Frontend: Include credentials
fetch('/api/protected', { credentials: 'include' });

// Backend: Guard + decorator
@UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard)
@Get('profile')
getProfile(@CurrentUser() user: User) {
  return user;
}

Feature Checklist (Fullstack)

Before Starting

  • [ ] Plan data model (Prisma schema)
  • [ ] Define API contract (DTOs)
  • [ ] Identify auth requirements

During Development

  • [ ] Create/update Prisma schema
  • [ ] Run migrations
  • [ ] Implement NestJS module (controller + service)
  • [ ] Create frontend components
  • [ ] Add loading/error states

Before Completion

  • [ ] Add DTO validation decorators
  • [ ] Review services and API error paths against the DTOs and callers
  • [ ] Backend unit and API E2E tests only if the user asked for them
  • [ ] Verify TypeScript types match
