@abinnovision/nestjs-configx

Type-safe configuration for NestJS using Standard Schema.

Installation

yarn add @abinnovision/nestjs-configx

Goals

• Type-safe configuration from process.env
• Schema-agnostic via Standard Schema (Zod, ArkType, etc.)
• Minimal NestJS integration (just a provider, no module)
• Fail-fast validation at startup

Non-goals

• Multiple config sources (at least not yet)
• Async schema validation
• Runtime config reloading
• Secret management / encryption

Quick Start

1. Define your config

import { configx } from "@abinnovision/nestjs-configx";
import { z } from "zod";

export class AppConfigx extends configx(
  z.object({
    PORT: z.string().default("3000").transform(Number),
    HOST: z.string().default("0.0.0.0"),
  }),
) {}

2. Register as provider

import { Module } from "@nestjs/common";
import { AppConfigx } from "./app.configx";

@Module({
  providers: [AppConfigx],
  exports: [AppConfigx],
})
export class AppModule {}

3. Inject and use

@Injectable()
export class AppService {
  constructor(private readonly config: AppConfigx) {}

  getPort() {
    return this.config.PORT; // number - fully typed
  }
}

Schema Libraries

Any Standard Schema compatible library works. Tested with:

• Zod
• ArkType

ArkType Example

import { configx } from "@abinnovision/nestjs-configx";
import { type } from "arktype";

export class AppConfigx extends configx(
  type({
    PORT: "string.numeric.parse = '3000'",
    HOST: "string = '0.0.0.0'",
  }),
) {}

Error Handling

Invalid configuration throws InvalidConfigError at instantiation with details about which fields failed validation.
