Re-explain

The core building blocks are:

  • Controllers: Handle incoming requests and return responses
  • Services: Contain business logic and are injectable
  • Modules: Organize and encapsulate related functionality
  • Providers: Classes that can be injected (services, repositories, factories)
  • Middleware: Functions that execute before route handlers
  • Guards: Determine whether a request should be handled
  • Interceptors: Transform data or add extra logic around method execution
  • Pipes: Transform and validate input data
  • Filters: Handle exceptions and errors
