NodeJS backend is used for the main API.

Use Typescript

Just do it, minimize any. Ask a fellow developer for our tsconfig.json.

Testing

Tests are split up into 2 categories:

Unit tests

Unit tests adhere to the following rules:

• The result is database independent. Database changes should not change test outcomes.
• Avoid using async unit tests. Most async functions use a database or network request, making it an integration test instead of a unit test.

Integration tests

Integration tests should be run periodically. These test take longer and test the whole API, from GraphQL schema to database.

lower-kebab-case filenames

All files should be lower-kebab-case. NPM doesn’t allow uppercase letters in package names.

Database models are Entities

The contract that is stored in the database is called ContractEntity in a file named contract.entity.ts.
