Vela - NestJS for the Edge

vela new my-api creates four source files and the configuration needed to run them in Cloudflare Workers:

worker.ts

app.module.ts

app.controller.ts

app.service.ts

.swcrc

wrangler.jsonc

package.json

pnpm-workspace.yaml

tsconfig.json

README.md

File	Responsibility
`src/worker.ts`	Exports native Workers handlers with environment-scoped application initialization.
`src/app.module.ts`	Registers the controller and injectable service.
`src/app.controller.ts`	Handles `GET /` and delegates to its injected service.
`src/app.service.ts`	Supplies the greeting.
`.swcrc`	Compiles TypeScript, legacy decorators, and constructor metadata.
`wrangler.jsonc`	Runs the custom SWC build and loads `dist/worker.js`.
`tsconfig.json`	Configures strict TypeScript checking without emitting JavaScript.
`pnpm-workspace.yaml`	Allows the native build dependencies used by SWC and Wrangler.

The application uses published npm dependencies. It has no dependency catalog, workspace ranges, or links to a Vela source checkout. pnpm install creates a lockfile that you should commit.

Add a feature

As the application grows, group a feature's controller, service, and module in one directory. Import that feature module from the root module. Keep request handling in controllers and reusable application logic in services.

You can create these files manually; feature generators are not yet included.
