## tsoa Controllers
**ADR**: [ADR-018](../adr/0018-api-documentation-strategy.md), [ADR-059](../adr/0059-dependency-modernization.md)
All API endpoints are implemented as tsoa controller classes that extend `BaseController`. This pattern provides type-safe OpenAPI documentation generation and standardized response formatting.
### Basic Controller Structure
```typescript
import {
Route,
Tags,
Get,
Post,
Body,
Path,
Query,
Security,
SuccessResponse,
Response,
} from 'tsoa';
import type { Request as ExpressRequest } from 'express';
import {
BaseController,
SuccessResponse as SuccessResponseType,
ErrorResponse,
} from './base.controller';
interface CreateItemRequest {
name: string;
description?: string;
}
interface ItemResponse {
id: number;
name: string;
created_at: string;
}
@Route('items')
@Tags('Items')
export class ItemController extends BaseController {
/**
* Get an item by ID.
* @summary Get item
* @param id Item ID
*/
@Get('{id}')
@SuccessResponse(200, 'Item retrieved')
@Response<ErrorResponse>(404, 'Item not found')
public async getItem(@Path() id: number): Promise<SuccessResponseType<ItemResponse>> {
const item = await itemService.getItemById(id);
return this.success(item);
}
/**
* Create a new item. Requires authentication.
* @summary Create item
*/
@Post()
@Security('bearerAuth')
@SuccessResponse(201, 'Item created')
@Response<ErrorResponse>(401, 'Not authenticated')
public async createItem(
@Body() body: CreateItemRequest,
@Request() request: ExpressRequest,
): Promise<SuccessResponseType<ItemResponse>> {
const user = request.user as UserProfile;
const item = await itemService.createItem(body, user.user.user_id);
return this.created(item);
}
}
```
### BaseController Response Helpers
```typescript
// Success response (200)
return this.success(data);
// Created response (201)
return this.created(data);
// Paginated response
const { page, limit } = this.normalizePagination(queryPage, queryLimit);
return this.paginated(items, { page, limit, total });
// Message-only response
return this.message('Operation completed');
// No content (204)
return this.noContent();
```
### Authentication with @Security
```typescript
import { Security, Request } from 'tsoa';
import { requireAdminRole } from '../middleware/tsoaAuthentication';
// Require authentication
@Get('profile')
@Security('bearerAuth')
public async getProfile(@Request() req: ExpressRequest): Promise<...> {
const user = req.user as UserProfile;
return this.success(user);
}
// Require admin role
@Delete('users/{id}')
@Security('bearerAuth')
public async deleteUser(@Path() id: string, @Request() req: ExpressRequest): Promise<void> {
requireAdminRole(req.user as UserProfile);
await userService.deleteUser(id);
return this.noContent();
}
```
### Error Handling in Controllers
```typescript
import { NotFoundError, ValidationError, ForbiddenError } from './base.controller';
// Throw errors - they're handled by the global error handler
throw new NotFoundError('Item', id); // 404
throw new ValidationError([], 'Invalid'); // 400
throw new ForbiddenError('Admin only'); // 403
```
### Rate Limiting
```typescript
import { Middlewares } from 'tsoa';
import { loginLimiter } from '../config/rateLimiters';
@Post('login')
@Middlewares(loginLimiter)
@Response<ErrorResponse>(429, 'Too many attempts')
public async login(@Body() body: LoginRequest): Promise<...> { ... }
```
### Regenerating Routes
After modifying controllers, regenerate the tsoa routes:
```bash
npm run tsoa:spec && npm run tsoa:routes
```
**Full Guide**: See [TSOA-MIGRATION-GUIDE.md](./TSOA-MIGRATION-GUIDE.md) for comprehensive documentation.

## Error Handling
**ADR**: [ADR-001](../adr/0001-standardized-error-handling.md)
### Repository Layer Error Handling
```typescript
import { handleDbError, NotFoundError } from '../services/db/errors.db';
import { PoolClient } from 'pg';
export async function getFlyerById(id: number, client?: PoolClient): Promise<Flyer> {
const db = client || pool;
try {
const result = await db.query('SELECT * FROM flyers WHERE id = $1', [id]);
if (result.rows.length === 0) {
throw new NotFoundError('Flyer', id);
}
return result.rows[0];
} catch (error) {
throw handleDbError(error);
}
}
```
### Route Layer Error Handling
```typescript
import { sendError } from '../utils/apiResponse';
app.get('/api/v1/flyers/:id', async (req, res) => {
try {
const flyer = await flyerDb.getFlyerById(parseInt(req.params.id));
return sendSuccess(res, flyer);
} catch (error) {
// IMPORTANT: Use req.originalUrl for dynamic path logging (not hardcoded paths)
req.log.error({ error }, `Error in ${req.originalUrl.split('?')[0]}:`);
return sendError(res, error);
}
});
```
**Best Practice**: Always use `req.originalUrl.split('?')[0]` in error log messages instead of hardcoded paths. This ensures logs reflect the actual request URL including version prefixes (`/api/v1/`). See [Error Logging Path Patterns](ERROR-LOGGING-PATHS.md) for details.
### Custom Error Types
```typescript
// NotFoundError - Entity not found
throw new NotFoundError('Flyer', id);
// ValidationError - Invalid input
throw new ValidationError('Invalid email format');
// DatabaseError - Database operation failed
throw new DatabaseError('Failed to insert flyer', originalError);
```

## Repository Patterns
**ADR**: [ADR-034](../adr/0034-repository-pattern-standards.md)
### Method Naming Conventions
| Prefix | Returns | Not Found Behavior | Use Case |
| ------- | -------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------- |
| `get*` | Entity | Throws NotFoundError | When entity must exist |
| `find*` | Entity \| null | Returns null | When entity may not exist |
| `list*` | Array | Returns [] | When returning multiple |
### Get Method (Must Exist)
```typescript
/**
* Get a flyer by ID. Throws NotFoundError if not found.
*/
export async function getFlyerById(id: number, client?: PoolClient): Promise<Flyer> {
const db = client || pool;
try {
const result = await db.query('SELECT * FROM flyers WHERE id = $1', [id]);
if (result.rows.length === 0) {
throw new NotFoundError('Flyer', id);
}
return result.rows[0];
} catch (error) {
throw handleDbError(error);
}
}
```
### Find Method (May Not Exist)
```typescript
/**
* Find a flyer by ID. Returns null if not found.
*/
export async function findFlyerById(id: number, client?: PoolClient): Promise<Flyer | null> {
const db = client || pool;
try {
const result = await db.query('SELECT * FROM flyers WHERE id = $1', [id]);
return result.rows[0] || null;
} catch (error) {
throw handleDbError(error);
}
}
```
### List Method (Multiple Results)
```typescript
/**
* List all active flyers. Returns empty array if none found.
*/
export async function listActiveFlyers(client?: PoolClient): Promise<Flyer[]> {
const db = client || pool;
try {
const result = await db.query(
'SELECT * FROM flyers WHERE end_date >= CURRENT_DATE ORDER BY start_date DESC',
);
return result.rows;
} catch (error) {
throw handleDbError(error);
}
}
```
---
## API Response Patterns
**ADR**: [ADR-028](../adr/0028-api-response-standardization.md)
### Success Response
```typescript
import { sendSuccess } from '../utils/apiResponse';
app.post('/api/v1/flyers', async (req, res) => {
const flyer = await flyerService.createFlyer(req.body);
// sendSuccess(res, data, statusCode?, meta?)
return sendSuccess(res, flyer, 201);
});
```
### Paginated Response
```typescript
import { sendPaginated } from '../utils/apiResponse';
app.get('/api/v1/flyers', async (req, res) => {
const page = parseInt(req.query.page as string) || 1;
const limit = parseInt(req.query.limit as string) || 20;
const { items, total } = await flyerService.listFlyers(page, limit);
// sendPaginated(res, data[], { page, limit, total }, meta?)
return sendPaginated(res, items, { page, limit, total });
});
```
### Error Response
```typescript
import { sendError, sendSuccess, ErrorCode } from '../utils/apiResponse';
app.get('/api/v1/flyers/:id', async (req, res) => {
try {
const flyer = await flyerDb.getFlyerById(parseInt(req.params.id));
return sendSuccess(res, flyer);
} catch (error) {
// sendError(res, code, message, statusCode?, details?, meta?)
if (error instanceof NotFoundError) {
return sendError(res, ErrorCode.NOT_FOUND, error.message, 404);
}
req.log.error({ error }, `Error in ${req.originalUrl.split('?')[0]}:`);
return sendError(res, ErrorCode.INTERNAL_ERROR, 'An error occurred', 500);
}
});
```
---
## Transaction Management
**ADR**: [ADR-002](../adr/0002-standardized-transaction-management.md)
### Basic Transaction
```typescript
import { withTransaction } from '../services/db/connection.db';
export async function createFlyerWithItems(
flyerData: FlyerInput,
items: FlyerItemInput[],
): Promise<Flyer> {
return withTransaction(async (client) => {
// Create flyer
const flyer = await flyerDb.createFlyer(flyerData, client);
// Create items
const createdItems = await flyerItemDb.createItems(
items.map((item) => ({ ...item, flyer_id: flyer.id })),
client,
);
// Automatically commits on success, rolls back on error
return { ...flyer, items: createdItems };
});
}
```
### Nested Transactions
```typescript
export async function bulkImportFlyers(flyersData: FlyerInput[]): Promise<ImportResult> {
return withTransaction(async (client) => {
const results = [];
for (const flyerData of flyersData) {
try {
// Each flyer import is atomic
const flyer = await createFlyerWithItems(
flyerData,
flyerData.items,
client, // Pass transaction client
);
results.push({ success: true, flyer });
} catch (error) {
results.push({ success: false, error: error.message });
}
}
return results;
});
}
```
---
## Input Validation
**ADR**: [ADR-003](../adr/0003-standardized-input-validation-using-middleware.md)
### Zod Schema Definition
```typescript
// src/schemas/flyer.schemas.ts
import { z } from 'zod';
export const createFlyerSchema = z.object({
store_id: z.number().int().positive(),
image_url: z
.string()
.url()
.regex(/^https?:\/\/.*/),
start_date: z.string().datetime(),
end_date: z.string().datetime(),
items: z
.array(
z.object({
name: z.string().min(1).max(255),
price: z.number().positive(),
quantity: z.string().optional(),
}),
)
.min(1),
});
export type CreateFlyerInput = z.infer<typeof createFlyerSchema>;
```
### Route Validation Middleware
```typescript
import { validateRequest } from '../middleware/validation';
import { createFlyerSchema } from '../schemas/flyer.schemas';
app.post('/api/v1/flyers', validateRequest(createFlyerSchema), async (req, res) => {
// req.body is now type-safe and validated
const flyer = await flyerService.createFlyer(req.body);
return sendSuccess(res, flyer, 201);
});
```
### Manual Validation
```typescript
import { createFlyerSchema } from '../schemas/flyer.schemas';
export async function processFlyer(data: unknown): Promise<Flyer> {
// Validate and parse input
const validated = createFlyerSchema.parse(data);
// Type-safe from here on
return flyerDb.createFlyer(validated);
}
```
---
## Authentication
**ADR**: [ADR-048](../adr/0048-authentication-strategy.md)
### Protected Route with JWT
```typescript
import { authenticateJWT } from '../middleware/auth';
app.get(
'/api/v1/profile',
authenticateJWT, // Middleware adds req.user
async (req, res) => {
// req.user is guaranteed to exist
const user = await userDb.getUserById(req.user.id);
return sendSuccess(res, user);
},
);
```
### Optional Authentication
```typescript
import { optionalAuth } from '../middleware/auth';
app.get(
'/api/v1/flyers',
optionalAuth, // req.user may or may not exist
async (req, res) => {
const flyers = req.user
? await flyerDb.listFlyersForUser(req.user.id)
: await flyerDb.listPublicFlyers();
return sendSuccess(res, flyers);
},
);
```
### Generate JWT Token
```typescript
import jwt from 'jsonwebtoken';
import { env } from '../config/env';
export function generateToken(user: User): string {
return jwt.sign({ id: user.id, email: user.email }, env.JWT_SECRET, { expiresIn: '7d' });
}
```
---
## Caching
**ADR**: [ADR-009](../adr/0009-caching-strategy-for-read-heavy-operations.md)
### Cache Pattern
```typescript
import { cacheService } from '../services/cache.server';
export async function getFlyer(id: number): Promise<Flyer> {
// Try cache first
const cached = await cacheService.get<Flyer>(`flyer:${id}`);
if (cached) return cached;
// Cache miss - fetch from database
const flyer = await flyerDb.getFlyerById(id);
// Store in cache (1 hour TTL)
await cacheService.set(`flyer:${id}`, flyer, 3600);
return flyer;
}
```
### Cache Invalidation
```typescript
export async function updateFlyer(id: number, data: UpdateFlyerInput): Promise<Flyer> {
const flyer = await flyerDb.updateFlyer(id, data);
// Invalidate cache
await cacheService.delete(`flyer:${id}`);
await cacheService.invalidatePattern('flyers:list:*');
return flyer;
}
```
---
## Background Jobs
**ADR**: [ADR-006](../adr/0006-background-job-processing-and-task-queues.md)
### Queue Job
```typescript
import { flyerProcessingQueue } from '../services/queues.server';
export async function enqueueFlyerProcessing(flyerId: number): Promise<void> {
await flyerProcessingQueue.add(
'process-flyer',
{
flyerId,
timestamp: Date.now(),
},
{
attempts: 3,
backoff: {
type: 'exponential',
delay: 2000,
},
},
);
}
```
### Process Job
```typescript
// src/services/workers.server.ts
import { Worker } from 'bullmq';
const flyerWorker = new Worker(
'flyer-processing',
async (job) => {
const { flyerId } = job.data;
try {
// Process flyer
const result = await aiService.extractFlyerData(flyerId);
await flyerDb.updateFlyerWithData(flyerId, result);
// Update progress
await job.updateProgress(100);
return { success: true, itemCount: result.items.length };
} catch (error) {
logger.error('Flyer processing failed', { flyerId, error });
throw error; // Will retry automatically
}
},
{
connection: redisConnection,
concurrency: 5,
},
);
```

## Feature Flags
**ADR**: [ADR-024](../adr/0024-feature-flagging-strategy.md)
Feature flags enable controlled feature rollout, A/B testing, and quick production disablement without redeployment. All flags default to `false` (opt-in model).
### Backend Usage
```typescript
import { isFeatureEnabled, getFeatureFlags } from '../services/featureFlags.server';
// Check a specific flag in route handler
router.get('/dashboard', async (req, res) => {
if (isFeatureEnabled('newDashboard')) {
return sendSuccess(res, { version: 'v2', data: await getNewDashboardData() });
}
return sendSuccess(res, { version: 'v1', data: await getLegacyDashboardData() });
});
// Check flag in service layer
function processFlyer(flyer: Flyer): ProcessedFlyer {
if (isFeatureEnabled('experimentalAi')) {
return processWithExperimentalAi(flyer);
}
return processWithStandardAi(flyer);
}
// Get all flags (admin endpoint)
router.get('/admin/feature-flags', requireAdmin, async (req, res) => {
sendSuccess(res, { flags: getFeatureFlags() });
});
```
### Frontend Usage
```tsx
import { useFeatureFlag, useAllFeatureFlags } from '../hooks/useFeatureFlag';
import { FeatureFlag } from '../components/FeatureFlag';
// Hook approach - for logic beyond rendering
function Dashboard() {
const isNewDashboard = useFeatureFlag('newDashboard');
useEffect(() => {
if (isNewDashboard) {
analytics.track('new_dashboard_viewed');
}
}, [isNewDashboard]);
return isNewDashboard ? <NewDashboard /> : <LegacyDashboard />;
}
// Declarative component approach
function App() {
return (
<FeatureFlag feature="newDashboard" fallback={<LegacyDashboard />}>
<NewDashboard />
</FeatureFlag>
);
}
// Debug panel showing all flags
function DebugPanel() {
const flags = useAllFeatureFlags();
return (
<ul>
{Object.entries(flags).map(([name, enabled]) => (
<li key={name}>
{name}: {enabled ? 'ON' : 'OFF'}
</li>
))}
</ul>
);
}
```
### Adding a New Flag
1. **Backend** (`src/config/env.ts`):
```typescript
// In featureFlagsSchema
myNewFeature: booleanString(false), // FEATURE_MY_NEW_FEATURE
// In loadEnvVars()
myNewFeature: process.env.FEATURE_MY_NEW_FEATURE,
```
2. **Frontend** (`src/config.ts` and `src/vite-env.d.ts`):
```typescript
// In config.ts featureFlags section
myNewFeature: import.meta.env.VITE_FEATURE_MY_NEW_FEATURE === 'true',
// In vite-env.d.ts
readonly VITE_FEATURE_MY_NEW_FEATURE?: string;
```
3. **Environment** (`.env.example`):
```bash
# FEATURE_MY_NEW_FEATURE=false
# VITE_FEATURE_MY_NEW_FEATURE=false
```
### Testing Feature Flags
```typescript
// Backend - reset modules to test different states
beforeEach(() => {
vi.resetModules();
process.env.FEATURE_NEW_DASHBOARD = 'true';
});
// Frontend - mock config module
vi.mock('../config', () => ({
default: {
featureFlags: {
newDashboard: true,
betaRecipes: false,
},
},
}));
```
### Flag Lifecycle
| Phase | Actions |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Add** | Add to schemas (backend + frontend), default `false`, document |
| **Enable** | Set env var `='true'`, restart application |
| **Remove** | Remove conditional code, remove from schemas, remove env vars |
| **Sunset** | Max 3 months after full rollout - remove flag |
### Current Flags
| Flag | Backend Env Var | Frontend Env Var | Purpose |
| ---------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------ |
| `bugsinkSync` | `FEATURE_BUGSINK_SYNC` | `VITE_FEATURE_BUGSINK_SYNC` | Bugsink error sync |
| `advancedRbac` | `FEATURE_ADVANCED_RBAC` | `VITE_FEATURE_ADVANCED_RBAC` | Advanced RBAC features |
| `newDashboard` | `FEATURE_NEW_DASHBOARD` | `VITE_FEATURE_NEW_DASHBOARD` | New dashboard experience |
| `betaRecipes` | `FEATURE_BETA_RECIPES` | `VITE_FEATURE_BETA_RECIPES` | Beta recipe features |
| `experimentalAi` | `FEATURE_EXPERIMENTAL_AI` | `VITE_FEATURE_EXPERIMENTAL_AI` | Experimental AI features |
| `debugMode` | `FEATURE_DEBUG_MODE` | `VITE_FEATURE_DEBUG_MODE` | Debug mode |
