Challenge
Business Challenge
The situation before the engagement, in the client's terms.
A backend is only as good as its contract. Adnois had to give a frontend team a typed, validated API with mail and auth — and prove it with tests.
- 01
Clear contract
Typed routes with validation on every payload.
- 02
Auth built in
Guards and roles ready from the start.
- 03
Integratable
A Postman collection for the consuming team.
Objectives
Engagement Objectives
What the build needed to achieve before implementation began.
Deliver a typed, validated API contract
Include auth, mail and a solid data layer
Ship a Postman collection for consumers
Back it with tests and linting
Solution Design
How We Solved It
The approach that addressed each challenge above.
AdonisJS provided the structure; the work was in the details — VineJS validation, MJML mail, Redis-backed services and a test suite.
- 01
Typed routes
VineJS validates every request.
- 02
Mail done right
MJML templates render everywhere.
- 03
Solid data layer
Lucid ORM over MySQL, Redis for services.
- 04
Ready to consume
Postman collection ships in the repo.
