Please add description, though the title explains the issue :)

[darshaandaghicha]

I would like to implement a SOA using OOPs in TypeScript where the architecture will be like as follows:

[krishnaacharyaa]

Sure, but presently we already have decent folder architecture which has good seperation of concerns as below

How does project benefit by using the above SOA architecture, because we are not having multiple services even in the near future, so I feel clean architecture would be a perfect fit here in terms of architecture than SOA.

[krishnaacharyaa]

For now may be we can refactor the backend to use ts instead of js and leave the architecture for now as suggested in the title of the issue

Is anyone doing this? If not could you please assign this to me

[bajajcodes]

Hey @krishnaacharyaa I can take this and migrate backend in one go to typescript and later on gradually as people get comfortable they can start writing types for respective code.

A single pr to introduce typescript using ts-migrate something.

[krishnaacharyaa]

@shmbajaj yeah sure. We'll do this, I am working on integration tests for backend, as soon as that is merged, lets do this

[ppriyankuu]

I see the backend is yet to be converted into typescript. if no one's currently assigned then maybe I can take up the job.

[krishnaacharyaa]

Please tell the approach and ETA @ppriyankuu

[ppriyankuu]

I can migrate the files to typescript with minimal types, and later as time goes eventually others can start writing their detailed extensive types.

It'll take a day. At max.

[krishnaacharyaa]

Sure please go ahead kindly follow PR guidelines

[ppriyankuu]

Sure!!
