A collection of libraries for NestJS developers.
NestKit is a set of focused modules for NestJS APIs. Each package solves one problem well and installs on its own, so you add only what you need and nothing you do not.
| Package | What it does | Version |
|---|---|---|
@cisstech/nestjs-expand |
Dynamic resource expansion: let API clients pull related resources on demand, in a single request. |  |
@cisstech/nestjs-pg-pubsub |
Real-time pub/sub over PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY, with no extra message broker to run. |
 |
Both modules support NestJS 10 and 11.
Guides and API for every module are hosted at cisstech.github.io/nestkit.

Contributions are always welcome. Please read our CONTRIBUTING.md first, then submit ideas as pull requests or GitHub issues. Make sure your code style matches the rest of the project and that the unit tests and linter pass.
NestKit is free to use. As the maintainer, I put a lot of time into answering questions, fixing issues and adding features around a full-time job. If the project saved you or your team time, a star on the repository supports its maintenance and future work.
