Walkthrough

The changes update the Post model in the Prisma schema to make the author relation and authorId field optional instead of required. Documentation in the NestJS quick start guide is also updated to reflect these schema changes, allowing posts without an associated author.

72-74: Derive authorId from the authenticated user instead of client input

The current createDraft controller still takes authorId in the request body, which trusts the client and weakens ownership enforcement. Instead, fetch the user ID from the server-side context (set by your AuthInterceptor) and pass that to Prisma.

• File: docs/quick-start/nestjs.mdx around line 134 (in the createDraft example)

Suggested update:

- async createDraft(@Body() postData: { title: string; authorId: number }) {
-   return this.prismaService.post.create({
-     data: { ...postData },
-   });
+ async createDraft(@Body() postData: { title: string }) {
+   const user = this.cls.get('auth'); // already stored by AuthInterceptor
+   return this.prismaService.post.create({
+     data: {
+       title: postData.title,
+       authorId: user?.id,
+     },
+   });
 }

This change preserves the nullable authorId schema, avoids trusting client input, and keeps ownership checks intact.

BTW in the Nest.js world it would be common to use calls like these:

nest g service prisma
nest g interceptor auth

Which would result in slightly different paths

import { PrismaService } from './prisma/prisma.service';
import { AuthInterceptor } from './auth/auth.interceptor';

if you think it makes sense to add these CLI commands to the docs, I am happy to do this in another PR.
