I'm playing around with NestJs, for the purpose of automating REST API creation as much as possible. So far, I do not see any quick way to create a fully functional resource.
For example, if I use the Nest CLI like this:
nest g resource
And call my resource "posts", I get a module, a controller, a service, dto's and an empty entity
In order to make it functional, I would need to manually go through every method of the PostsService, remove the placeholder, and wire it to the corresponding entity method. For example, this needs to be altered:
findAll() {
return `This action returns all posts`;
}
to:
findAll(){
return this.postsRepository.find()
}
Not to mention, that I need to add various decorators and imports. In my opinion, this undermines the whole idea of CRUD generator. A lot of files are created for me, but they need to be altered.
Is there any way in Nest to create a fully functioning resource(of course i would still need to manually set the fields of the entity), with all parts wired to each other correctly?
