SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Defines a consistent Express backend contract that standardizes server routes, storage interfaces, and authentication for the HBG Portal.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines a modular Express backend structure with route modules, a pluggable storage interface, and authentication middleware.
  • Enforces role-based access control (RBAC) and multi-tenancy to ensure secure, scalable API layers.
  • Use cases include implementing new API endpoints, validating storage operations, and ensuring consistent security posture across services.

Quick Start

Define a basic Express app scaffold with a routes module, a simple in-memory storage interface, and a stub authentication middleware to validate the contract.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize Express backend routes and authentication in TypeScript?▼

You can standardize Express backend routes by defining a consistent contract that specifies modular route organization, a pluggable IStorage interface, and authentication middleware. This enforces role-based access control and secures API endpoints across multi-tenant environments.

What is the best way to implement role-based access control for a multi-tenant Express API?▼

The best way to implement role-based access control for a multi-tenant Express API is to apply a standardized backend contract with built-in authentication middleware. This enforces secure, scalable API layers and validates user permissions across tenant boundaries.

How do I structure a pluggable storage interface in a Node.js Express application?▼

You structure a pluggable storage interface in Node.js by defining an IStorage contract that standardizes data storage operations. This allows your Express route modules to interact with storage implementations consistently without coupling to specific data sources.

Can I use this Express backend contract for implementing new API endpoints with rate limiting?▼

Yes, you can use this Express backend contract for implementing new API endpoints. It specifies requirements for a TypeScript Express stack, including rate limiting, domain-oriented route organization, and security middleware to ensure a consistent API posture.

Does this backend contract require a specific TypeScript Express stack setup?▼

Yes, the backend contract requires a TypeScript Express stack setup. It specifies requirements for server-side development involving API endpoints, data storage, and security, enforcing a modular structure with route modules and authentication middleware.

Why does my multi-tenant API need a standardized backend contract with authentication middleware?▼

A multi-tenant API needs a standardized backend contract to ensure a consistent security posture across services. The authentication middleware enforces role-based access control and validates storage operations, preventing unauthorized access and maintaining scalable API layers.
