Standards for Notification Types, Service Architecture, and FCM Integration. Use when building notification services or integrating FCM in NestJS. (triggers: notification.service.ts, notification.entity.ts, notification, push, fcm, alert, reminder)

NestJS Notification Architecture

Priority: P0 (Standard)

Implement a "Dual-Write" notification system: persist to Database (In-App) and send via FCM (Push).

Structure

src/modules/notification/
├── notification.service.ts   # Logic: DB Save + FCM Send
├── entities/
│   └── notification.entity.ts # DB Schema + NotificationType Enum
└── types/
    └── notification.types.ts  # Interfaces for Payloads/Metadata

Implementation Guidelines

  • Use Dual-Write: Save to DB first, then attempt FCM. Catch FCM errors so they don't block the logic.
  • Define Granular Types: Use
    NotificationType
    Enum (e.g.,
    APPOINTMENT_REMINDER
    ) for frontend icon/color logic.
  • Stringify Metadata: Store routing data (IDs) as JSON string in DB, but Map to string-only Key-Values for FCM
    data
    .
  • Handle Tokens: Check for
    fcmToken
    existence before sending. Fail gracefully if missing.
  • Serialize Dates: Convert Dates to ISO strings before sending to FCM.

Anti-Patterns

  • No Generic Types: Avoid
    type: string
    . Always use the Enum.
  • No Blocking FCM: Never
    await
    FCM without a
    try/catch
    . It shouldn't crash the request.
  • No Complex Data in Push: Keep FCM
    data
    payload flat and minimal (IDs only). Fetch details on open.
