[ Feature ] add on frameworks NestJS configurations

[Juan-Severiano]

Description

Add support for NestJS deployments to the project, providing pre-configured templates and deployment options for NestJS applications.

Motivation

NestJS is a popular progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, scalable server-side applications. Many developers use NestJS for enterprise applications and would benefit from having deployment configurations available in this project.

Proposed Solution

Add NestJS-specific configurations that include:

• Framework Detection: Auto-detect NestJS projects based on dependencies and project structure
• Build Configuration: Pre-configured build commands for NestJS applications
• Environment Variables: Common NestJS environment variable templates
• Docker Support: Optimized Dockerfile for NestJS deployments
• Start Commands: Proper production start commands (npm run start:prod)
• TypeScript Configuration: Ensure compatibility with NestJS's TypeScript setup
• Dependency Management: Handle NestJS-specific dependencies (@nestjs/core, @nestjs/common, etc.)

Example Configuration

framework: nestjs
build:
  command: npm run build
  output: dist
start:
  command: npm run start:prod
port: 3000
environment:
  NODE_ENV: production

Additional Context

NestJS applications typically:

• Use TypeScript by default
• Require compilation before deployment
• Run on port 3000 by default (configurable)
• Have a dist folder as build output
• Use decorators and reflection extensively

Benefits

• Streamlined deployment process for NestJS developers
• Reduced configuration overhead
• Better developer experience
• Aligns with the project's goal of supporting multiple frameworks

Related Frameworks

This could be part of a broader effort to support Node.js frameworks like:

• Express.js
• Fastify
• Koa
• Hapi

I'd be happy to contribute to implementing this feature if the maintainers are open to it.

@hunvreus can i be responsible to do this?

You can create your own presets fairly easily: https://devpu.sh/docs/guides/customize-registry-catalog/#overrides

If you have a working preset for Nest.js specifically, feel free to share it. I'd need to know what the commands are (build, pre-deploy and start).
