Npm install class-validator bcrypt express-rate-limit.
Ts, implement the JWT strategy and authentication logic.
Throw new BadRequestException('Username already exists');.
Throw new BadRequestException('Invalid credentials');.
Const isMatch = await bcrypt.compare(password, user.

Import * as rateLimit from 'express-rate-limit';.
Max: 100, // limit each IP to 100 requests per windowMs. 11.
This guide has covered the essentials of setting up a secure REST API with Nest.js, from user authentication to token management and rate limiting.
Following these steps will give you a robust foundation for building secure, scalable web applications.
The complete code is available in the GitHub repository.
Additional security measures and functionalities may be necessary depending on your application's specific needs.
Keep your dependencies updated and regularly review your security practices.
