In the ims-api project, we're building the backbone for an Institution Management System. A core feature is the ability for new institutions to register themselves, which involves creating not just an institution record but also an initial director user and their associated profile.
In the ims-api project, our focus is on building a robust and secure API platform. Recent updates have significantly bolstered our API's resilience by introducing stricter password policies and enhancing type safety practices. These changes are crucial for maintaining data integrity and reducing runtime errors, especially when dealing with sensitive user information.
Our ims-api project, built with Express.js, was initially structured with the application definition and server startup logic in a single file. This approach, while straightforward for simple projects, quickly became a bottleneck for effective testing and modular development. Every time we wanted to test an API endpoint, we'd inadvertently spin up the entire server, leading to slower, more
In any evolving API, the need to add new registration types is a common occurrence. Whether it's for different user roles, partners, or, in our case, institutions, a robust and well-structured approach is key. This post delves into how we approached adding a new institution registration endpoint within our ims-platform/ims-api project, leveraging Express.
Building robust APIs requires diligent testing. In our ims-platform/ims-api project, ensuring every new feature and bug fix maintains the high standard of reliability is paramount. This recent work focused on enhancing our test suite, specifically by implementing comprehensive mocked tests that cover both success and failure paths.
While integration tests are
The SBSofiaBartoli/ecommerce-md-back project is an e-commerce backend system. We recently encountered a common challenge related to module design and dependency management when implementing features.
During a recent development cycle for our e-commerce backend, a new feature involving user management required access to the UsersService and certain TypeORM repository
Building scalable and maintainable backend applications requires thoughtful architecture, especially regarding how different modules interact. In the SBSofiaBartoli/ecommerce-md-back project, which serves as the backend for an e-commerce application, a recent enhancement focused on refining the users module's exports.
