NestJS

Introduction

Nest (NestJS) is a framework based on Node.js for building server-side application with the architecture inspired by Angular. If you are familiar with Angular & Spring framework, it should be quite easy to understand its annotation and design structure.

2. @nestjs/passport: a package for authentication
3. @nestjs/graphql: a package for GraphQL
