  ### Manual Route Definition Methods
180
180
 
181
- While decorator-based routing is available, the recommended way to define routes is by using the `defineRoute` and `bindRoute` methods inside the `binding()` method. This approach offers a clear and declarative syntax that keeps your route definitions organized and easy to manage.
181
+ For advanced use cases or when you prefer a non-decorator approach, you can define routes manually using `defineRoute` and `bindRoute` methods inside the `binding()` method.
182
182
 
183
- :::tip Recommendation
184
- For better organization and a more declarative approach, we strongly recommend using `defineRoute` or `bindRoute` within the `binding()` method to define your controller's routes. This keeps all route definitions in one place, making your controller easier to read and maintain.
183
+ :::tip When to Use Manual Definition
184
+ Manual route definition is useful for:
185
+ - Dynamically generating routes based on configuration
186
+ - Conditional route registration (feature flags)
187
+ - Developers who prefer non-decorator syntax (coming from Express/Fastify)
188
+ - Complex routing logic that benefits from programmatic control

44
+ #### Key Features
45
+
46
+ | Feature | Description |
47
+ |---------|-------------|
48
+ | **Driver Auto-Read** | Driver is read from `@datasource` decorator - no need to pass in constructor |
49
+ | **Schema Auto-Discovery** | Schema is automatically built from registered `@repository` decorators |
50
+ | **Manual Override** | You can still manually provide schema in constructor for full control |
51
+
52
+ ### Constructor Options
53
+
54
+ ```typescript
55
+ constructor(opts: {
56
+ name: string; // DataSource name (usually class name)
57
+ config: Settings; // Database connection settings
58
+ driver?: TDataSourceDriver; // Optional - read from @datasource if not provided
59
+ schema?: Schema; // Optional - auto-discovered if not provided
60
+ })
61
+ ```
62
+
63
+ ### Schema Auto-Discovery
64
+
65
+ When you use `@repository({ model: YourModel, dataSource: YourDataSource })`, the framework automatically:
66
+
67
+ 1. Registers the model-datasource binding in the MetadataRegistry
68
+ 2. When `getSchema()` is called, discovers all models bound to this datasource
69
+ 3. Builds the combined schema (tables + relations) automatically
70
+
71
+ **This means you no longer need to manually merge tables and relations in the DataSource constructor!**
72
+
73
+ ### Configuration Flow
45
74
 
46
75
  1. **Your DataSource's `constructor` is called**:
47
- - You call `super()` with the `name`, `driver`, `config` (connection settings), and the crucial `schema` object.
48
- - The `schema` object **must** contain all your Drizzle tables and `relations` definitions.
76
+ - You call `super()` with `name` and `config`
77
+ - Driver is automatically read from `@datasource` decorator
78
+ - Schema is auto-discovered from `@repository` bindings (or manually provided)
49
79
 
50
80
  2. **`Application.registerDataSources()` is called during startup**:
51
- - The application gets your `DataSource` instance from the DI container.
52
- - It calls the `configure()` method on your instance.
81
+ - The application gets your `DataSource` instance from the DI container
82
+ - It calls the `configure()` method on your instance
53
83
 
54
84
  3. **Your `configure()` method runs**:
55
- - This is where you instantiate the Drizzle ORM.
56
- - You pass the `this.settings` (your config) and `this.schema` to Drizzle, creating the `this.connector`.
85
+ - This is where you instantiate the Drizzle ORM
86
+ - Use `this.getSchema()` to get the auto-discovered schema and pass to Drizzle

+ }
154
+ ```
155
+
156
+ With this pattern, when you define repositories:
157
+
158
+ ```typescript
159
+ @repository({ model: User, dataSource: PostgresDataSource })
160
+ export class UserRepository extends DefaultCRUDRepository<typeof User.schema> {}
161
+
162
+ @repository({ model: Configuration, dataSource: PostgresDataSource })
163
+ export class ConfigurationRepository extends DefaultCRUDRepository<typeof Configuration.schema> {}
164
+ ```
165
+
166
+ The `PostgresDataSource.schema` will automatically include User and Configuration tables and their relations.
167
+
168
+ #### Pattern 2: Manual Schema (Full Control)

+

+ ### @datasource Decorator
209
+
210
+ The `@datasource` decorator registers datasource metadata:
211
+
212
+ ```typescript
213
+ @datasource({
214
+ driver: 'node-postgres', // Required - database driver
215
+ autoDiscovery?: true // Optional - defaults to true
216
+ })
217
+ ```
218
+
219
+ | Option | Type | Default | Description |
220
+ |--------|------|---------|-------------|
221
+ | `driver` | `TDataSourceDriver` | - | Database driver name |
222
+ | `autoDiscovery` | `boolean` | `true` | Enable/disable schema auto-discovery |
223
+
224
+ ### Abstract Methods
225
+
226
+ These methods must be implemented in your datasource class:
227
+
228
+ | Method | Return Type | Description |
229
+ |--------|-------------|-------------|
230
+ | `configure(opts?)` | `ValueOrPromise<void>` | Initialize the Drizzle ORM connector. Called during application startup. |
231
+ | `getConnectionString()` | `ValueOrPromise<string>` | Return the database connection string. |
232
+
233
+ ### Optional Override Methods
234
+
235
+ These methods can be optionally overridden for connection lifecycle management:
236
+
237
+ | Method | Return Type | Description |
238
+ |--------|-------------|-------------|
239
+ | `connect()` | `Promise<Connector \| undefined>` | Establish database connection. Useful for connection pooling. |
240
+ | `disconnect()` | `Promise<void>` | Close database connection gracefully. |
241
+
242
+ ```typescript
243
+ @datasource({ driver: 'node-postgres' })
244
+ export class PostgresDataSource extends BaseDataSource<TNodePostgresConnector, IDSConfigs> {
245
+ // ... constructor and configure() ...
246
+
247
+ override async connect(): Promise<TNodePostgresConnector | undefined> {
248
+ await (this.connector.client as Pool).connect();
249
+ return this.connector;
250
+ }
251
+
252
+ override async disconnect(): Promise<void> {
253
+ await (this.connector.client as Pool).end();
254
+ }
255
+ }
256
+ ```
257
+
258
+ ### Helper Methods
259
+
260
+ | Method | Description |
261
+ |--------|-------------|
262
+ | `getSchema()` | Returns the schema (auto-discovers if not manually provided) |
263
+ | `getSettings()` | Returns connection settings |
264
+ | `getConnector()` | Returns the Drizzle connector |
265
+ | `hasDiscoverableModels()` | Returns `true` if there are models registered for this datasource |
266
+

87
+ ## Boot System Integration
88
+
89
+ The boot system (`@venizia/ignis-boot`) extends the DI container to support automatic artifact discovery and registration.
90
+
91
+ ### Key Bindings
92
+
93
+ When boot system is enabled, the following bindings are created:
94
+
95
+ | Binding Key | Type | Description |
96
+ |-------------|------|-------------|
97
+ | `@app/instance` | Value | The application container instance |
98
+ | `@app/project_root` | Value | Absolute path to project root |
99
+ | `@app/boot-options` | Value | Boot configuration options |
100
+ | `bootstrapper` | Class (Singleton) | Main boot orchestrator |
101
+ | `booter.DatasourceBooter` | Class (Tagged: 'booter') | Datasource discovery booter |
102
+ | `booter.RepositoryBooter` | Class (Tagged: 'booter') | Repository discovery booter |
103
+ | `booter.ServiceBooter` | Class (Tagged: 'booter') | Service discovery booter |
104
+ | `booter.ControllerBooter` | Class (Tagged: 'booter') | Controller discovery booter |
105
+
106
+ ### Tag-based Discovery
107
+
108
+ The boot system uses container tags for automatic discovery:
109
+
110
+ ```typescript
111
+ // Register a booter with tag
112
+ this.bind({ key: 'booter.CustomBooter' })
113
+ .toClass(CustomBooter)
114
+ .setTags('booter');
115
+
116
+ // Find all booters
117
+ const booterBindings = this.findByTag<IBooter>({ tag: 'booter' });
118
+ ```
119
+
120
+ This pattern allows the `Bootstrapper` to automatically discover and execute all registered booters without explicit registration.
121
+
122
+ ### Artifact Bindings
123
+
124
+ Once artifacts are discovered and loaded, they're bound using consistent patterns:
125
+
126
+ ```typescript
127
+ // Controllers
128
+ this.bind({ key: 'controllers.UserController' }).toClass(UserController);
129
+
130
+ // Services
131
+ this.bind({ key: 'services.UserService' }).toClass(UserService);
132
+
133
+ // Repositories
134
+ this.bind({ key: 'repositories.UserRepository' }).toClass(UserRepository);
135
+
136
+ // Datasources
137
+ this.bind({ key: 'datasources.PostgresDataSource' }).toClass(PostgresDataSource);
138
+ ```
139
+
140
+ ### Boot Lifecycle & DI
141
+
142
+ The boot system integrates into the application lifecycle:
143
+
144
+ 1. **Application Constructor** - Binds boot infrastructure if `bootOptions` configured
145
+ 2. **initialize()** - Calls `boot()` which:
146
+ - Discovers booters from container (via `findByTag`)
147
+ - Instantiates booters (via `container.get()` or `binding.getValue()`)
148
+ - Executes boot phases (configure → discover → load)
149
+ - Each booter binds discovered artifacts to container
150
+ 3. **Post-Boot** - All artifacts available for dependency injection
151
+
152
+ **Example Flow:**
153
+
154
+ ```typescript
155
+ // 1. Boot discovers UserController.js file
156
+ // 2. Boot loads UserController class
157
+ // 3. Boot binds to container:
158
+ app.bind({ key: 'controllers.UserController' }).toClass(UserController);
159
+
160
+ // 4. Later, when UserController is instantiated:
161
+ @injectable()
162
+ class UserController {
163
+ constructor(
164
+ @inject({ key: 'services.UserService' })
165
+ private userService: UserService // Auto-injected!
166
+ ) {}
167
+ }
168
+ ```
169
+
170
+ ### Benefits
171
+
172
+ - **Zero-configuration DI**: Artifacts auto-discovered and registered
173
+ - **Convention-based**: Follow naming patterns, get DI for free
174
+ - **Extensible**: Custom booters integrate seamlessly via tags
175
+ - **Type-safe**: Full TypeScript support throughout boot process
