How do you read the request body in NestJS?

You read the body with the @Body decorator and commonly define its expected shape as a DTO class. The {email, password} body of POST /users is handed to your handler that way.

How do you verify a signup API?

Send an {email, password} body and confirm the signup is stored and answered with 201 and the created id. supertest lets you issue real HTTP requests.

How do you confirm a signup API works?

Send a normal signup request and assert that the stored user's id comes back with a 201 — that proves the take-body, store, and respond flow is wired up as intended.

Signup API (NestJS)

Your task

Build a signup API that registers with an email and a password. Accept the signup, store it, and return the created id. Complete the signup. Note: POST /users takes {email, password} and responds with 201 and an id.

Ground rules

•The request body arrives in the shape {email, password}.
•Use the in-memory store (array) as given. No database.

Not required

•Password hashing, login, token issuing.
•Duplicate-email checks, verification emails.

▶About this challenge

This challenge has you build an email/password signup API in NestJS. For POST /users you take a {email, password} body, store it in the in-memory store, and return 201 with the created id. You practice the flow of taking request data that arrives from outside and processing it.

This problem is about how an API takes in and handles request data that arrives from outside. At a door like signup — where external input first enters the system — the key is wiring up a clear flow: take the {email, password} body, store it, and return 201 with the created id. You confirm in real code that a normal signup request is stored and answered with 201.
