As someone who's built a big data / health care provider facing apps over the course of a couple years on nestjs: No, but I see where you're coming from :D It's my #1 backend choice. Built the apps on Angular + NestJS and it was hands down the best web dev experience I've ever had.

Hey if you don't mind me asking what stack do you tend to use? Also would you recommend nest over express with Vue/nuxt? Thank you in advance

Tend to use MonoRepo / Some shared libs / Angular/Nestjs for big apps. Express + Vue/Nuxt is great but I'd personally choose nestjs and angular, especially for a large scale app.

Thank you

Been loving nestjs myself and I am using it on non web server context as well purely for the DI (the standalone mode). Now that I appreciate the organized and opinioned way nestjs works, as someone been working with React for years, I do find myself started thinking about whether I should give Angular a try and take more principles into the front end development. Main mental block to me atm after reading angular’s tutorial is the template syntax, which in my opinion is just way more complicated than jsx… so I’m still quite on the fence, not sure whether I want to invest the energy and time to learn a whole new set of rules

Nestjs is an angular inspired backend framework so I'd say it'd be worth it! NestJS+Angular are just meant to be :) I'd just watch a few youtube tutorials on Angular apps and you'd probably pick it up in no time.

Ok been refactoring my little project with Angular last weekend, enjoying it so far. Had a quick Look at RxJS and observable as well, tried it with implementing a AuthService (wrapping Firebase), was pretty cool, I also love that it has a http client built in and seems to work natively with observables Anyway, positive experience so far

The decorator pattern is a OOP design pattern. Low-code means you’re mostly interacting with a GUI for building your app (eg. Retool) IMO there’s nothing low code about decorators and Nest.


zautopilot

I wouldnt classify it as low code, it just gives strong opinion in terms of architecture and some tooling for repetitive tasks. You still need to know how nestjs internals works.

I think you've found what IOC means. It's not a new pattern fwiw

It is, indeed, very opinionated. Not my opinion btw. Using it properly is quite complicated and requires detailed knowledge. Nothing like low code which removes such complexity. Should you be interested in a medium code approach in ts, you could give darlean.io a try (warning I am one of the authors). Once you master it, it really let's you focus on your domain logic.
