@bdadmin/nestjs v1.0.5

Backend-driven Admin - NestJS Module

@bdadmin/nestjs is a toolkit designed to simplify the creation of administrative dashboards. It provides a set of decorators and utilities for defining DTOs, entities, fields, authentication flows, and more, using metadata to efficiently create and manage complex admin interfaces.

Important: This package is part of the @bdadmin ecosystem

Features

• Decorators: Easily annotate classes and properties with metadata for DTOs, entities, validation rules, login/logout/refresh handlers, and more.
• Metadata Management: Utilizes reflect-metadata to store and retrieve configuration data.
• Type Safety: Built with TypeScript to ensure type safety and improved developer experience.
• CLI Support: Includes a CLI tool for scaffolding and managing BDAdmin components within your NestJS project.
• Rollup Bundling: Packaged and optimized using Rollup, with TypeScript declaration support for seamless integration.

Installation

Install the package via npm:

npm install @bdadmin/nestjs

Peer Dependencies

Make sure to install and configure the following in your project:

• reflect-metadata: Required for metadata reflection.
• TypeScript: Ensure emitDecoratorMetadata and experimentalDecorators are enabled in your tsconfig.json.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    // ...other options
  }
}

Usage

Define the entities

import { BDAdminEntity, BDAdminBehavior } from '@bdadmin/nestjs';
import { Get } from "@nestjs/common";

@Controller("users")
@BDAdminEntity({ name: "users" })
export class UserController {
    @Get()
    @BDAdminBehavior({ 
        type: [UserController], 
        endpoint: { 
            url: "/users", 
            method: "GET"
        } 
    })
    findAll() { /* ... */ }

    @Post("/create")
    @BDAdminBehavior({
        type: UserCreateDto,
        endpoint: {
            url: "/users/create",
            method: "POST"
        }
    })
    create() { /* ... */ }
    
    // ...other methods
}

Configure fields & validation

import { BDAdminField, BDAdminValidation } from '@bdadmin/nestjs';

export class UserEntity {
    @BDAdminField({ type: 'string', sort: true, search: true })
    name: string;
  
    @BDAdminField({ type: 'number', sort: true })
    age: number;
    
    // ...other properties
}

export class UserCreateDto {
    @BDAdminValidation({
        type: 'string',
        unique: true,
        required: true
    })
    name: string;

    @BDAdminValidation({
        type: 'number',
        required: true,
        min: 16,
        max: 60
    })
    age: number;

    // ...other properties
}

Initialize authentication

import { BDAdminAuth, BDAdminLogin, BDAdminRefresh, BDAdminLogout } from '@bdadmin/nestjs';

@BDAdminAuth({
    accessKey: "access_token",
    refreshKey: "refresh_token"
})
export class AuthController {
    @Post("/login")
    @BDAdminLogin({
        endpoint: {
            url: "/login",
            method: "POST"
        },
        type: LoginDto
    })
    signIn() { /* ... */ }

    @Post("/refresh")
    @BDAdminRefresh({
        endpoint: {
            url: "/refresh",
            method: "POST"
        }
    })
    refresh() { /* ... */ }

    @Post("/logout")
    @BDAdminLogout({
        endpoint: {
            url: "/logout",
            method: "POST"
        }
    })
    logOut() { /* ... */ }
}
