Document the backend

We are using OpenAPI structure to automatically document our APIs. To do so, please read the bellow informations to correctly document your code once its finished.

Controllers endpoints

Add these Middlewares (if needed):

@ApiTags('XXX') // Put above the controller to structure the documentation

@ApiOperation({
  summary: 'Explain the endpoint main action',
})

@ApiOkResponse({
  schema: {
    type: 'any' (boolean, string, number, ...),
  },
})

OR

@ApiOkResponse({
  schema: schemaFromType('YOUR TYPE | INTERFACE'),
})

@ApiHeader({
  name: 'Specific header used',
  required: false | true,
})

@ApiExcludeEndpoint() // To hide an endpoint

@ApiBody({
  schema: {
    properties: {
      phone_number: { type: 'string' },
    },
  },
})
  
OR
  
@ApiBody({
  type: YOUR_DTO,
})

@ApiBearerAuth('access-token') // Add this for a secured endpoint

Database schemas

If you changed an existing schema, just check in the documentation the updates appears

If you add a new schema, add this schema into the file: src > mongo > schemas > doc-schemas.ts The name of the schema in the doc file should be 'Database:XXX'
