-### Using PostgreSQL Storage
+### `storage`
 
-To persist dismissible items in a PostgreSQL database, use the `PostgresStorageModule`:
+Specifies a custom storage module for persisting dismissible items. Defaults to in-memory storage.
+
+**Default:** In-memory storage (data lost on restart)

-**Prerequisites:**
-
-1. Install the PostgreSQL storage package:
+**Related packages:**
 
-   ```bash
-   npm install @dismissible/nestjs-postgres-storage
-   ```
+- [@dismissible/nestjs-storage](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dismissible/nestjs-storage) - Storage interfaces and base module for implementing custom adapters

+- [@dismissible/nestjs-dynamodb-storage](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dismissible/nestjs-dynamodb-storage) - DynamoDB storage adapter
 
-2. Set up your database connection string:
+---
 
-   ```env
-   DISMISSIBLE_STORAGE_POSTGRES_CONNECTION_STRING=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/dismissible
-   ```
+### `logger`
 
-3. Run Prisma migrations (if using Prisma):
-   ```bash
-   npx prisma migrate dev
-   ```
+Provides a custom logger implementation. The logger must implement the `IDismissibleLogger` interface.
 
-The PostgreSQL adapter uses Prisma and automatically handles schema migrations. The storage persists all dismissible items across application restarts.
-
-### Using the Service
-
-Instead of using the built-in REST API endpoints, you can inject `DismissibleService` directly into your controllers or other services for more control:
+**Default:** Built-in console logger
 
 ```typescript

-### Custom Lifecycle Hooks
+---
 
-Lifecycle hooks allow you to intercept operations and add custom logic, validation, or mutations:
+### `imports`
+
+Adds additional modules to the DismissibleModule's imports. Useful for injecting dependencies that your hooks or providers need.
+
+**Default:** None
 
 ```typescript
-import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';

-    context?: IRequestContext,
-  ): Promise<void> {
-    // Log item creation for analytics
-    console.log(`Item created: ${itemId} for user ${userId}`);
+---
+
+### `providers`
+
+Registers additional providers within the DismissibleModule. Useful for services that your hooks depend on.
+
+**Default:** None
+
+```typescript
+import { Injectable, Module } from '@nestjs/common';
+import { DismissibleModule, IDismissibleLifecycleHook } from '@dismissible/nestjs-core';
+
+@Injectable()
+class AnalyticsService {
+  track(event: string, data: any) {
+    // Send to analytics
   }
+}
 
-  // Mutate item ID before operation
-  async onBeforeGetOrCreate(
-    itemId: string,
-    userId: string,
-    context?: IRequestContext,
-  ): Promise<IHookResult> {
-    // Normalize item IDs (e.g., lowercase)
-    return {
-      proceed: true,
-      mutations: {
-        id: itemId.toLowerCase(),
-      },
-    };
+@Injectable()
+class AnalyticsHook implements IDismissibleLifecycleHook {
+  constructor(private analytics: AnalyticsService) {}
+
+  async onAfterDismiss(itemId: string, userId: string): Promise<void> {
+    this.analytics.track('item_dismissed', { itemId, userId });
   }
 }
+
+@Module({
+  imports: [
+    DismissibleModule.forRoot({
+      providers: [AnalyticsService],
+      hooks: [AnalyticsHook],
+    }),
+  ],
+})
+export class AppModule {}
 ```
 
-Register hooks in your module:
+---
+
+### `controllers`
+
+Overrides the default REST API controllers. Use this when you want complete control over the API endpoints.
+
+**Default:** Built-in controllers for get-or-create, dismiss, and restore
 
 ```typescript
-import { DismissibleModule } from '@dismissible/nestjs-core';
-import { AuditHook } from './hooks/audit.hook';
+import { Controller, Get, Param, Module } from '@nestjs/common';
+import { DismissibleModule, DismissibleService } from '@dismissible/nestjs-core';
+
+@Controller('custom')
+class CustomController {
+  constructor(private dismissibleService: DismissibleService) {}
+
+  @Get(':userId/:itemId')
+  async getItem(@Param('userId') userId: string, @Param('itemId') itemId: string) {
+    return this.dismissibleService.getOrCreate(itemId, userId);
+  }
+}
 
 @Module({
   imports: [
     DismissibleModule.forRoot({
-      hooks: [AuditHook],
+      controllers: [CustomController],
     }),
   ],
 })
 export class AppModule {}
 ```
 
-### Listening to Events
+To disable the REST API entirely, pass an empty array:
 
-The library emits events for all operations. Listen to them using NestJS's `EventEmitter2`:
+```typescript
+@Module({
+  imports: [
+    DismissibleModule.forRoot({
+      controllers: [],
+    }),
+  ],
+})
+export class AppModule {}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Using the Service Directly
+
+Instead of using the built-in REST API, you can inject `DismissibleService` into your own controllers or services:
+
+```typescript
+import { Controller, Get, Param, Delete, Post } from '@nestjs/common';
+import { DismissibleService } from '@dismissible/nestjs-core';
+
+@Controller('features')
+export class FeaturesController {
+  constructor(private readonly dismissibleService: DismissibleService) {}
+
+  @Get(':userId/items/:itemId')
+  async getOrCreateItem(@Param('userId') userId: string, @Param('itemId') itemId: string) {
+    const result = await this.dismissibleService.getOrCreate(itemId, userId);
+    return {
+      item: result.item,
+      wasCreated: result.created,
+    };
+  }
+
+  @Delete(':userId/items/:itemId')
+  async dismissItem(@Param('userId') userId: string, @Param('itemId') itemId: string) {
+    const result = await this.dismissibleService.dismiss(itemId, userId);
+    return { item: result.item };
+  }
+
+  @Post(':userId/items/:itemId/restore')
+  async restoreItem(@Param('userId') userId: string, @Param('itemId') itemId: string) {
+    const result = await this.dismissibleService.restore(itemId, userId);

-Hooks can:
+### Example: Overriding the Item Factory
 
-- **Block operations** by returning `{ proceed: false, reason: string }`
-- **Mutate parameters** by returning `{ proceed: true, mutations: { id?, userId?, context? } }`
-- **Perform side effects** in post-hooks (no return value needed)
+Override the item factory to customize how items are created:
 
-Hooks are executed in priority order (lower numbers first).
+```typescript
+import { Injectable, Module } from '@nestjs/common';
+import { DismissibleModule } from '@dismissible/nestjs-core';
+import {
+  DismissibleItemDto,
+  IDismissibleItemFactory,
+  ICreateDismissibleItemOptions,
+  DISMISSIBLE_ITEM_FACTORY,
+} from '@dismissible/nestjs-item';
 
-## Storage Adapters
+@Injectable()
+class CustomItemFactory implements IDismissibleItemFactory {
+  create(options: ICreateDismissibleItemOptions): DismissibleItemDto {
+    const item = new DismissibleItemDto();
+    item.id = options.id;
+    item.userId = options.userId;
+    item.createdAt = options.createdAt;
+    item.dismissedAt = options.dismissedAt;
+    return item;
+  }
 
-### In-Memory Storage (Default)
+  clone(item: DismissibleItemDto): DismissibleItemDto {
+    return this.create({
+      id: item.id,
+      createdAt: item.createdAt,
+      userId: item.userId,
+      dismissedAt: item.dismissedAt,
+    });
+  }
 
-The default storage adapter stores items in memory. Data is lost on application restart.
+  createDismissed(item: DismissibleItemDto, dismissedAt: Date): DismissibleItemDto {
+    return this.create({
+      id: item.id,
+      createdAt: item.createdAt,
+      userId: item.userId,
+      dismissedAt,
+    });
+  }
 
-### PostgreSQL Storage
+  createRestored(item: DismissibleItemDto): DismissibleItemDto {
+    return this.create({
+      id: item.id,
+      createdAt: item.createdAt,
+      userId: item.userId,
+      dismissedAt: undefined,
+    });
+  }
+}
 
-Use `PostgresStorageModule` for persistent storage. See the [Using PostgreSQL Storage](#using-postgresql-storage) section above.
+@Module({
+  imports: [
+    DismissibleModule.forRoot({

-### Custom Storage Adapter
+### Injecting Overridable Services
 
-Implement the `IDismissibleStorage` interface to create a custom storage adapter:
+When injecting these services in your own code, use the symbol tokens for maximum flexibility:
 
 ```typescript
-import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
-import { IDismissibleStorage } from '@dismissible/nestjs-storage';
-import { DismissibleItemDto } from '@dismissible/nestjs-item';
+import { Injectable, Inject } from '@nestjs/common';
+import { IDismissibleService, DISMISSIBLE_SERVICE } from '@dismissible/nestjs-core';
 
 @Injectable()
-export class RedisStorageAdapter implements IDismissibleStorage {
-  async get(userId: string, itemId: string): Promise<DismissibleItemDto | null> {
-    // Your implementation
-  }
-
-  async create(userId: string, item: DismissibleItemDto): Promise<void> {
-    // Your implementation
-  }
-
-  async update(userId: string, item: DismissibleItemDto): Promise<void> {
-    // Your implementation
+export class MyService {
+  constructor(
+    @Inject(DISMISSIBLE_SERVICE)
+    private readonly dismissibleService: IDismissibleService,
+  ) {}
+
+  async myMethod(userId: string, itemId: string) {
+    // Your custom implementation will be injected if you've overridden it
+    return this.dismissibleService.getOrCreate(itemId, userId);
   }
 }
 ```
