Three things I would tell any NestJS developer before they write their first banking fraud detection rule
Short summary
A NestJS developer guide on avoiding common pitfalls when writing banking fraud detection rules. It warns against accumulating if-statements in a single validation method and instead recommends isolating each rule into its own class implementing a shared FraudRule interface. A rule-engine service loops through rules without needing modification when new rules are added, and each rule can be tested independently.
- •Avoid growing if-statement chains in a single validation method
- •Isolate each fraud rule into its own class implementing a shared interface
- •Use a loop-based rule engine so new rules require no core service changes
