Common Tasks

Adding a new API endpoint

// 1. Add DTO in backend/src/list/dto/
export class CreateListDto {
  @IsString() name: string;
  @IsString() @IsOptional() description?: string;
}

// 2. Add controller method
@Post('lists')
@UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard)
async createList(@Body() dto: CreateListDto, @CurrentUser() user) {
  return this.listService.createList(dto, user.userId);
}

// 3. Add service method
async createList(dto: CreateListDto, userId: string) {
  return db.insert(userLists).values({
    userId,
    name: dto.name,
    description: dto.description,
    quoteIds: [],
  });
}

Adding a new Svelte component

<script lang="ts">
  import type { Quote } from '@zitare/shared';

  // Svelte 5 runes mode
  let { quote, isFavorite = false }: { quote: Quote; isFavorite?: boolean } = $props();
  let isExpanded = $state(false);

  function toggleExpanded() {
    isExpanded = !isExpanded;
  }
</script>

<div class="p-4 rounded-lg bg-gray-100">
  <p class="text-lg italic">"{quote.text}"</p>
  <p class="text-sm text-gray-600 mt-2">— {quote.author?.name}</p>
  {#if isFavorite}
    <span class="text-red-500">❤️</span>
  {/if}
</div>

Working with content packages

// Import from @zitare/content
import { getQuoteById, getAllQuotes, getQuotesByCategory } from '@zitare/content';

// Get a specific quote
const quote = getQuoteById('quote-123');

// Get all quotes for a language
const deQuotes = getAllQuotes('de');

// Filter by category
const motivationalQuotes = getQuotesByCategory('motivation', 'en');
