Modules

Backend modules architecture and implementation details

Overview​

Ecoimpacthub is built using a modular architecture where each module encapsulates specific functionality. This design promotes separation of concerns, code reusability, and maintainability.

Module Structure​

Each module follows a standard structure:

  • Resolvers: GraphQL resolvers for API endpoints
  • Services: Business logic and data processing
  • Types: TypeScript type definitions
  • Schema: GraphQL schema definitions
  • Config: Module-specific configuration
  • Utils: Utility functions and helpers
  • Workers: Background jobs and task processors
  • Tests: Unit and integration tests

Available Modules​

Ecoimpacthub includes the following modules:

  • auth: Authentication and authorization
  • core: Core functionality and shared utilities
  • user: User management and profiles

Module Development​

Creating a New Module​

  1. Create a new directory in src/modules/[module-name]
  2. Implement the standard module structure
  3. Export module resolvers and types
  4. Register the module in the main application
  5. Add tests and documentation

Module Best Practices​

  • Keep modules focused on a single responsibility
  • Use dependency injection for better testability
  • Implement proper error handling and validation
  • Document public APIs and interfaces
  • Write comprehensive tests
