Strict Validation Enforcement + +All request DTOs are validated with: +- **Field-level validation**: All fields validated according to declared constraints +- **Unknown field rejection**: Extra fields are rejected (whitelist mode) +- **Deterministic transformations**: String trimming, type conversions applied consistently +- **Boundary value checking**: Min/max values, length constraints enforced + +### 2. Correlation ID Tracking + +- Automatic generation or extraction from request headers (`x-correlation-id`, `x-request-id`, `correlation-id`) +- Attached to all validation error responses +- Used for request tracing across service boundaries +- Echoed back in response headers for client tracking + +### 3. Backward Compatibility Grace + +For deprecated endpoints or migrating clients: + +```typescript +@Post('users/update') +@AllowBackwardCompatibility({ + 'oldFieldName': 'newFieldName', + 'deprecatedEmail': 'email' +}) +async updateUser(@Body() dto: UpdateUserDto) { + // Deprecated field names are automatically mapped to new ones +} +``` + +### 4.

Ensure @IsOptional() is used for truly optional fields. + +### Issue: Unknown fields not being rejected + +**Solution**: Verify forbidNonWhitelisted is enabled in ValidationPipe configuration. Check for custom pipes that might disable this. + +### Issue: Correlation ID not appearing in responses + +**Solution**: Ensure CorrelationIdMiddleware is registered. Check request headers for X-Correlation-ID, X-Request-ID, or Correlation-ID. + +### Issue: Performance impact from validation + +**Solution**: Validation overhead is minimal (<1ms per request).
