MX Space Code Review

Review code for project conventions. Target: $ARGUMENTS

Review Checklist

1. Controller Conventions

  • Uses @ApiController() instead of @Controller()
  • Paginated endpoints return PaginationResult<T> from repository (no special decorator needed)
  • Authenticated endpoints use @Auth() decorator
  • Uses correct HTTP methods (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE)
  • Parameter validation uses DTOs (e.g., EntityIdDto for path params)
  • Return values follow response conventions (arrays auto-wrapped, objects returned directly)

2. Service Conventions

  • Injects repository class directly (e.g., private readonly postRepository: PostRepository)
  • Circular dependencies resolved with ModuleRef and injection tokens
  • Async tasks use scheduleManager.schedule()
  • Events use eventManager.emit() or eventManager.broadcast()

3. Repository Conventions

  • Extends BaseRepository from ~/processors/database/base.repository
  • Uses @Inject(PG_DB_TOKEN) db: AppDatabase constructor parameter
  • Uses Drizzle query builder (this.db.select().from(table).where(...))
  • ID boundaries validated with parseEntityId() / toEntityId() / toDbId()
  • Pagination uses this.paginationOf(total, page, size) helper from BaseRepository
  • Returns PaginationResult<T> for paginated queries

4. Schema (DTO) Conventions

  • Uses Zod instead of class-validator
  • Uses createZodDto() to create DTO classes
  • Provides Partial DTO for update operations
  • Uses project custom validators (e.g., zEntityId, zNonEmptyString, zCoerceInt)

5. Database Schema Conventions

  • Uses Drizzle pgTable() in ~/database/schema/
  • Primary keys use pkText() helper (Snowflake text IDs)
  • Foreign keys use refText() helper
  • Timestamps use createdAt(), updatedAt(), or tsCol() helpers
  • Indexes defined in the third argument of pgTable()

6. API Design Conventions

  • RESTful naming (plural nouns)
  • Correct status codes (200/201/204/400/401/404)
  • Paginated responses include data and pagination
  • Error responses use BusinessException

7. Module Registration Conventions

  • Repository registered as provider in module
  • Service and controller registered in module
  • Cross-module access uses injection tokens (e.g., POST_SERVICE_TOKEN)
  • Global modules decorated with @Global()

8. Test Conventions

  • Controllers have corresponding E2E tests
  • Uses createE2EApp to create test app
  • Test data created in pourData

9. Security Conventions

  • Sensitive operations protected by @Auth()
  • User input is validated
  • Internal error details not exposed
  • Sensitive info not logged

10. Performance Conventions

  • Batch operations use Promise.all
  • Large datasets use cursor-based pagination (OffsetDto with before/after)
  • Hot queries have caching
  • Avoid N+1 queries — batch related lookups (e.g., attachCategory, attachRelated)

Common Issues

Issue 1: Using class-validator

// Wrong
import { IsString } from 'class-validator'
class CreateDto {
  @IsString()
  name: string
}

// Correct
import { z } from 'zod'
import { createZodDto } from 'nestjs-zod'
const Schema = z.object({ name: z.string() })
class CreateDto extends createZodDto(Schema) {}

Issue 2: Response not following conventions

// Wrong - manually wrapping array
return { data: items }

// Correct - ResponseInterceptor auto-wraps
return items

Issue 3: Circular Dependency

// Wrong - direct injection causes circular dependency
constructor(private readonly otherService: OtherService) {}

// Correct - use ModuleRef for lazy loading
private otherService: OtherService
constructor(private readonly moduleRef: ModuleRef) {}
onApplicationBootstrap() {
  this.otherService = this.moduleRef.get(OTHER_SERVICE_TOKEN, { strict: false })
}

Issue 4: Not using EntityIdDto for path params

// Wrong - raw string param with no validation
@Get('/:id')
async get(@Param('id') id: string) {}

// Correct - validated entity ID
@Get('/:id')
async get(@Param() params: EntityIdDto) {
  return this.service.findById(params.id)
}

Issue 5: Repository not validating ID boundaries

// Wrong - passing raw string to DB query
await this.db.select().from(posts).where(eq(posts.id, id))

// Correct - validate ID at repository boundary
const idBig = parseEntityId(id)
await this.db.select().from(posts).where(eq(posts.id, idBig))
