service in main.ts

[celest thicket]

i do not know if this is deserves its own post
this could be a bug (i'm not sure)
if i wanted to use a service in the main.ts that i would just have to do
const service = app.get(MyService) for example loading a custom config service

but it seems this no longer works according to wodCZ { strict: false } would need to be added at first this seemed to work untill it didn't
i managed to get this working by using the service as a provider in the app.module
i will tag this as solved because i got it working
but is this indented/right/a bug/else? at this point i'm just confused

but it works

even if we have this

[celest thicket]

by adding the service as a provider for the app.module yeah
but my older and structurally messed up nest project

was just a matter of const config = app.get(ApiConfigService) in the main.ts and it worked

[craggy relic]

Why does this work? Not only it's not directly in the AppModule (I thought I have to select to the module if I didn't want to use strict). But also, it's not exported 🤔

[wide comet]

I wonder that too

I guess the default for that .get is strict: false

yep, that's why

[craggy relic]

It is 🤯 I swear it didn't work without { strict: false } before. Or do I just need a vacation? 🤔

[celest thicket]

untill this point i never used strict false or had to put the service as a provider just to get access to a custom class that uses the @nest/config in the constructor

that's why i'm so confused i now need to use a provider for it to work

otherwise it doesn't understand the context

[celest thicket]

had to come back my own issue 😂 better then making a new one
this time it doesn't want to work, strict or not
most of my code is disabled at this moment

Error: Nest could not find ApiConfigService element (this provider does not exist in the current context)

i dont understand this method anymore

[craggy relic]

Isn't it request scoped (even by accident)?

[celest thicket]

sorry dont know what you're trying to say here
everything in the app.module is disabled
and in the main.ts disabled anything but this

const logger = new Logger('Bootstrap')

  // create nest application
  const app = await NestFactory.create<NestExpressApplication>(AppModule, {
    logger: ['error', 'warn', 'debug', 'verbose', 'log'],
  })
  //app.setGlobalPrefix('/api')

  // access the configService
  const config = app.get(ApiConfigService, { strict: false })
  await app.listen(3000)

[craggy relic]

Whether ApiConfigService depends on request, or other service that depends on request

[celest thicket]

i mean all it does is things like this
no dependencies or what so ever
unless the configService from @nest/config depends on request?

get app() {
    return {
      name: this.config.get('CLIENT_NAME'),
      origin: this.config.get('CLIENT_ORIGIN'),
    }
  }

You checked the usuals ApiConfigService service has @Injectable, is in providers and exports of a module, and that module is in imports array within AppModule or it's imports, right?

[celest thicket]

@Injectable()
export class ApiConfigService {
  private readonly logger = new Logger(ApiConfigService.name)

  constructor(private config: ConfigService) {}
  ...
}

@Global()
@Module({
  imports: [ConfigModule],
  providers: [ApiConfigService],
  exports: [ApiConfigService],
})
export class ApiConfigModule {}

[celest thicket]

as far as i can tell yeah

[craggy relic]

ApiConfigModule is imported in AppModule?

[celest thicket]

prob removed it from the cleanup trying to debug other things
