-# Express to NestJS Migration Guide
-
----
-
-## When to Use This Guide
-
-**Use when:**
-- Migrating existing Express.js applications to NestJS
-- Modernizing legacy Node.js APIs with structured architecture
-- Adding TypeScript and dependency injection to Express codebases
-- Scaling Express applications requiring better organization
-- Team needs enforced architectural patterns and conventions
-- Application complexity justifies framework overhead
-
-**When NOT to Use:**
-
-- Simple CRUD APIs with < 10 endpoints (Express may be sufficient)
-- Serverless functions requiring minimal cold start time
-- Prototypes or MVPs where speed > structure
-- Team lacks TypeScript experience and timeline is tight
-- Performance-critical microservices where framework overhead matters
-- Projects with unique architectural requirements conflicting with NestJS patterns

-## Concept Mapping: Express → NestJS
-
-| Express Concept | NestJS Equivalent | Key Difference |
-|----------------|-------------------|----------------|
-| `app.get('/path', handler)` | `@Get('/path')` decorator | Declarative vs imperative |
-| Middleware functions | Guards, Interceptors, Pipes | Specialized by purpose |
-| `req.params`, `req.body` | `@Param()`, `@Body()` decorators | Automatic injection |
-| Manual `require()` | Dependency Injection | IoC container managed |
-| `express.Router()` | Controller classes | Object-oriented grouping |
-| `app.use(express.json())` | Built-in body parsing | Automatic configuration |
-| Error handling middleware | Exception Filters | Class-based with inheritance |
-| `app.listen(3000)` | `NestFactory.create()` | Bootstrap pattern |
-| Custom validation | `class-validator` pipes | Decorator-based validation |
-| Manual service instances | Provider registration | Singleton by default |

-## Incremental Migration Strategy
-
-### Strategy 1: Strangler Fig Pattern (Recommended)
-
-Gradually replace Express routes with NestJS while both run simultaneously.
-
-**Cross-reference:** See `/Users/dmitry/Projects/claude-skills/skills/legacy-modernizer/references/strangler-fig-pattern.md` for detailed implementation.
-
-```typescript
-// main.ts - Running both Express and NestJS
-import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
-import { AppModule } from './app.module';
-import * as express from 'express';
-import { expressApp } from './legacy/express-app';
-
-async function bootstrap() {
-  const nestApp = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
-
-  // Proxy middleware to route between NestJS and Express
-  const app = express();
-
-  // NestJS routes (new implementation)
-  app.use('/api/v2', nestApp.getHttpAdapter().getInstance());
-
-  // Express routes (legacy)
-  app.use('/api', expressApp);
-
-  await app.listen(3000);
-}
-bootstrap();
-```
-
-**Migration steps:**
-1. Set up NestJS alongside Express
-2. Migrate one module at a time to NestJS
-3. Route new endpoints to NestJS, old to Express
-4. Update frontend/clients to use new endpoints
-5. Remove Express routes once fully migrated
-6. Decommission Express app
-
-### Strategy 2: Module-by-Module Migration
-
-Migrate complete feature modules sequentially.
-
-```
-Phase 1: Authentication (Week 1-2)
-- Migrate auth middleware → Guards
-- Migrate JWT handling → @nestjs/jwt
-- Test authentication flows
-- Deploy with feature flag
-
-Phase 2: Users Module (Week 3-4)
-- Migrate user routes → Controllers
-- Migrate user service → Providers
-- Add validation with DTOs
-- Write tests
-
-Phase 3: Posts Module (Week 5-6)
-...
-```
-
-### Strategy 3: Adapter Pattern for Gradual DI Migration
-
-Wrap Express services in NestJS providers during transition.
-
-```typescript
-// Adapter for legacy Express service
-import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
-const LegacyUserService = require('../legacy/services/userService');
-
-@Injectable()
-export class UserServiceAdapter {
-  private legacyService = new LegacyUserService();
-
-  async findAll(): Promise<any[]> {
-    return this.legacyService.findAll();
-  }
-
-  async create(data: any): Promise<any> {
-    return this.legacyService.create(data);
-  }
-}
-
-// Use in NestJS controller while migrating
-@Controller('users')
-export class UsersController {
-  constructor(private readonly userService: UserServiceAdapter) {}
-
-  @Get()
-  async findAll() {
-    return this.userService.findAll();
-  }
-}
-```
-

-
-## Common Pitfalls
-
-### 1. Over-engineering Simple Applications
-
-**Problem:** Migrating a 500-line Express app to full NestJS with modules, DTOs, repositories, guards, etc.
-
-**Solution:** Evaluate if NestJS complexity is justified. Consider keeping simple APIs in Express.
-
-### 2. Not Understanding Dependency Injection Lifecycle
-
-**Problem:**
-```typescript
-// WRONG - Creates new instance, bypassing DI
-@Injectable()
-export class UsersService {
-  constructor() {
-    this.emailService = new EmailService(); // Don't do this!
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Solution:**
-```typescript
-// CORRECT - Let NestJS inject dependencies
-@Injectable()
-export class UsersService {
-  constructor(private readonly emailService: EmailService) {}
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Mixing Middleware and Guards Incorrectly
-
-**Problem:** Using Express middleware for authentication instead of Guards, losing NestJS benefits.
-
-**Solution:** Use Guards for authentication/authorization, Interceptors for logging/transformation, Middleware only for Express-specific needs.
-
-### 4. Ignoring Validation Pipes
-
-**Problem:** Manual validation in controllers like Express.
-
-```typescript
-// WRONG - Manual validation
-@Post()
-async create(@Body() body: any) {
-  if (!body.email) {
-    throw new BadRequestException('Email required');
-  }
-  // ...
-}
-```
-
-**Solution:**
-```typescript
-// CORRECT - Use DTOs with class-validator
-@Post()
-async create(@Body() createUserDto: CreateUserDto) {
-  // Validation happens automatically
-  return this.usersService.create(createUserDto);
-}
-```
-
-### 5. Not Leveraging Module Imports/Exports
-
-**Problem:** Circular dependencies and tightly coupled modules.
-
-**Solution:** Properly structure module imports/exports. Use forwardRef() for circular dependencies.
-
-```typescript
-@Module({
-  imports: [TypeOrmModule.forFeature([User]), EmailModule],
-  providers: [UsersService, UsersRepository],
-  exports: [UsersService], // Export for other modules
-})
-export class UsersModule {}
-```
-
-### 6. Forgetting to Enable CORS
-
-**Problem:** CORS working in Express but failing in NestJS.
-
-**Solution:**
-```typescript
-// main.ts
-const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
-app.enableCors({
-  origin: process.env.ALLOWED_ORIGINS?.split(','),
-  credentials: true,
-});
-```
-
-### 7. Incorrect Exception Handling
-
-**Problem:** Using Express error middleware patterns.
-
-**Solution:** Use NestJS built-in exceptions and filters.
-
-```typescript
-// Throw NestJS exceptions
-throw new NotFoundException('User not found');
-throw new BadRequestException('Invalid input');
-throw new UnauthorizedException('Invalid credentials');
-```
-
-### 8. Not Configuring ValidationPipe Globally
-
-**Problem:** Validation inconsistent across endpoints.
-
-**Solution:**
-```typescript
-// main.ts
-app.useGlobalPipes(
-  new ValidationPipe({
-    whitelist: true,
-    forbidNonWhitelisted: true,
-    transform: true,
-  }),
-);
-```
