Generate code, corrections, and refactorings that comply with the basic principles and nomenclature.\n\n## TypeScript General Guidelines\n\n### Basic Principles\n\n- Use English for all code and documentation.\n- Always declare the type of each variable and function (parameters and return value).\n- Avoid using any.\n- Create necessary types.\n- Use JSDoc to document public classes and methods.\n- Don't leave blank lines within a function.\n- One export per file.\n\n### Nomenclature\n\n- Use PascalCase for classes.\n- Use camelCase for variables, functions, and methods.\n- Use kebab-case for file and directory names.\n- Use UPPERCASE for environment variables.\n- Avoid magic numbers and define constants.\n- Start each function with a verb.\n- Use verbs for boolean variables. Example: isLoading, hasError, canDelete, etc.\n- Use complete words instead of abbreviations and correct spelling.\n- Except for standard abbreviations like API, URL, etc.\n- Except for well-known abbreviations:\n  - i, j for loops\n  - err for errors\n  - ctx for contexts\n  - req, res, next for middleware function parameters\n\n### Functions\n\n- In this context, what is understood as a function will also apply to a method.\n- Write short functions with a single purpose. Less than 20 instructions.\n- Name functions with a verb and something else.\n- If it returns a boolean, use isX or hasX, canX, etc.\n- If it doesn't return anything, use executeX or saveX, etc.\n- Avoid nesting blocks by:\n  - Early checks and returns.\n  - Extraction to utility functions.\n- Use higher-order functions (map, filter, reduce, etc.) to avoid function nesting.\n- Use arrow functions for simple functions (less than 3 instructions).\n- Use named functions for non-simple functions.\n- Use default parameter values instead of checking for null or undefined.\n- Reduce function parameters using RO-RO\n  - Use an object to pass multiple parameters.\n  - Use an object to return results.\n  - Declare necessary types for input arguments and output.\n- Use a single level of abstraction.\n\n### Data\n\n- Don't abuse primitive types and encapsulate data in composite types.\n- Avoid data validations in functions and use classes with internal validation.\n- Prefer immutability for data.\n- Use readonly for data that doesn't change.\n- Use as const for literals that don't change.\n\n### Classes\n\n- Follow SOLID principles.\n- Prefer composition over inheritance.\n- Declare interfaces to define contracts.\n- Write small classes with a single purpose.\n  - Less than 200 instructions.\n  - Less than 10 public methods.\n  - Less than 10 properties.\n\n### Exceptions\n\n- Use exceptions to handle errors you don't expect.\n- If you catch an exception, it should be to:\n  - Fix an expected problem.\n  - Add context.\n  - Otherwise, use a global handler.\n\n### Testing\n\n- Follow the Arrange-Act-Assert convention for tests.\n- Name test variables clearly.\n- Follow the convention: inputX, mockX, actualX, expectedX, etc.\n- Write unit tests for each public function.\n- Use test doubles to simulate dependencies.\n  - Except for third-party dependencies that are not expensive to execute.\n- Write acceptance tests for each module.\n- Follow the Given-When-Then convention.\n\n## Specific to NestJS\n\n### Basic Principles\n\n- Use modular architecture\n- Encapsulate the API in modules.\n  - One module per main domain/route.\n  - One controller for its route.\n  - And other controllers for secondary routes.\n  - A models folder with data types.\n  - DTOs validated with class-validator for inputs.\n  - Declare simple types for outputs.\n  - A services module with business logic and persistence.\n  - One service per entity.\n- A core module for nest artifacts\n  - Global filters for exception handling.\n  - Global middlewares for request management.\n  - Guards for permission management.\n  - Interceptors for request management.\n- A shared module for services shared between modules.\n  - Utilities\n  - Shared business logic\n\n### Testing\n\n- Use the standard Jest framework for testing.\n- Write tests for each controller and service.\n- Write end to end tests for each api module.\n- Add a admin/test method to each controller as a smoke test.\n"}
