Setting Up the Auth Module, Controller, Service, and Repository
Explore how to build the foundational authentication components in NestJS by creating an auth module, controller, service, and defining a user entity. Understand injecting the user repository and resolving common dependency issues to secure your backend application.
We'll cover the following...
As our virtual library expands and attracts more users, our initial open environment must evolve for enhanced security and user management. Ensuring the authenticity of each user becomes crucial with a growing user base. This critical process is termed authentication. In this lesson, we’ll create an authentication module, controller, service, and user entity, laying down the foundational bricks to move to authentication.
Setting up the necessary files
To initiate the authentication process in the virtual library, generate the necessary module, controller, and service using the NestJS CLI as follows:
AuthModule
For authentication in our virtual ...
