### nestjs core module guidelines

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Global filters for exception handling.
- Global middlewares for request management.
- Guards for permission management.
- Interceptors for request management.

### nestjs general guidelines

When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

- Use modular architecture
- Encapsulate the API in modules.
  - One module per main domain/route.
  - One controller for its route.
  - And other controllers for secondary routes.
  - A models folder with data types.
  - DTOs validated with class-validator for inputs.
  - Declare simple types for outputs.
  - A services module with business logic and persistence.
  - One service per entity.
- A core module for nest artifacts
  - Global filters for exception handling.
  - Global middlewares for request management.
  - Guards for permission management.
  - Interceptors for request management.
- A shared module for services shared between modules.
  - Utilities
  - Shared business logic
- Use the standard Jest framework for testing.
- Write tests for each controller and service.
- Write end to end tests for each api module.
- Add a admin/test method to each controller as a smoke test.
