Summary of Changes

Hello @muneebhashone, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a significant architectural shift towards a more modular and documented plugin-based system for the TypeScript Backend Toolkit. It focuses on enhancing developer experience by providing a new CLI for scaffolding features, comprehensive documentation across various components, and robust session management. Key updates include modernizing environment configurations, replacing several core dependencies, and integrating new administrative and development tools such as an admin dashboard, BullBoard for queue monitoring, and a realtime testing UI.

Highlights

  • Plugin-Based Architecture: The core application setup has been refactored into a modular, plugin-based system, enhancing extensibility and organization.
  • New CLI Tool (tbk): A new command-line interface tool, tbk, has been introduced to streamline the generation of modules, factories, seeders, and middleware, significantly improving developer workflow.
  • Comprehensive Documentation: Extensive new documentation has been added for various aspects of the toolkit, including architecture, controllers, development workflow, email system, environment configuration, models, new module creation, routing, and Zod schemas.
  • Enhanced Session Management: A robust session management system has been implemented with support for both MongoDB and Redis stores, including features like session cleanup and rotation.
  • Updated Environment Configuration: Environment variable handling has been overhauled with Zod validation, and new variables were added for Resend email, Cloudflare R2 storage, local storage, and dedicated authentication for admin and queue panels.
  • New Admin Dashboard & BullBoard Integration: An admin dashboard with CRUD capabilities and file upload support has been added, alongside a themed and authenticated integration of BullBoard for queue monitoring.
  • Realtime Tester UI: A dedicated UI for testing realtime (Socket.io) functionality has been introduced, providing tools for connecting, emitting, listening, and managing rooms.
  • Port Resolution Utility: A new utility for interactively resolving port conflicts during development has been added, improving the local development startup experience.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a major architectural overhaul (V2), refactoring the application into a more modular, plugin-based system. Key improvements include a new CLI for scaffolding modules, enhanced session management, a provider-based abstraction for services like storage and email, and a robust, type-safe response validation system. While the changes are extensive and well-executed, I've identified a few areas for improvement, primarily concerning security with default credentials and some minor inconsistencies in the new documentation and example code.

critical

Hardcoding default credentials and secrets for the admin panel and queue dashboard is a significant security risk. These values should be unique for each deployment and must not be checked into version control. It's strongly recommended to remove the .default() values for these sensitive fields (ADMIN_PANEL_PASSWORD, ADMIN_SESSION_SECRET, QUEUE_PANEL_PASSWORD, QUEUE_SESSION_SECRET). The application should fail to start if these secrets are missing in a production environment.

Using .env as the env_file for a production setup is risky, as it might contain development-specific variables or less secure defaults. It's safer to use a dedicated production environment file (e.g., .env.production) to prevent accidental leakage of development settings into a production environment.

There's an inconsistency in the path for the admin registry file. This line mentions src/plugins/admin/registry.ts, but step 5 (line 75) refers to src/admin/registry.ts. Please ensure the documentation is consistent to avoid confusion.

Using a backslash \ as a path separator is specific to Windows and will cause issues for developers on macOS or Linux. It's best practice to use a forward slash / in VS Code settings, as it is cross-platform compatible.

This handler uses res.json() directly, which bypasses the new response validation system introduced in this PR. To maintain consistency with the new architecture and leverage typed responses, it should be updated to use the res.created() helper.

export const handleCreateBlog = async (
req: Request<unknown, unknown, CreateBlogSchemaType>,
res: ResponseExtended<CreateBlogResponseSchema>,
) => {
const blog = await createBlog(req.body);
return res.json({

The return; statement on line 49 is redundant. The new response helpers like res.ok() handle ending the response, so the explicit return is not necessary and can be removed for cleaner code.

export const handleGetBlogs = async (
  req: Request<unknown, unknown, unknown, GetBlogsSchemaType>,
  res: ResponseExtended<GetBlogsResponseSchema>,
) => {
  const { results, paginatorInfo } = await getBlogs(req.query);
  res.ok?.({
    success: true,
    data: {
      items: results,
      paginator: paginatorInfo,
    },
  });
};
