0–4 NestJS Hunter: Slaying Complexity in Node.js with TypeScript.

Interfaces in TypeScript are a powerful way to define contracts for the shape of objects, allowing you to enforce specific structures for objects and create reusable type definitions. They can also be used for type checking and autocompletion support in code editors.

Here’s an example of an interface in TypeScript:

    interface Person {
      firstName: string;
      lastName: string;
      age: number;
      greet(): string;
    }

This interface defines a Person object with firstName, lastName, and age properties, as well as a greet method. You can use the interface as a type for an object like this:

    const john: Person = {
      firstName: "John",
      lastName: "Doe",
      age: 30,
      greet() {
        return `Hello, my name is ${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}.`;
      },
    };

If you try to create an object that doesn’t match the Person interface, TypeScript will throw a type error during compilation.

Now let’s shift our focus to NestJS. Can you explain the importance of modules and decorators in NestJS and how they contribute to the framework’s modular architecture?
