Find all files for a module

When to Use

• User asks "where is..." or "where should I put..."
• User needs to understand the project organization
• User asks about naming conventions
• User needs to navigate between layers (API, Application, Domain, Infrastructure)
• User is new to Aurora/​NestJS CQRS architecture

Critical Patterns

Layer Responsibilities

File Generation Marker

All generated files include this header - NEVER modify these files directly:

/​**
 * @aurora-generated
 * @source cliter/[package]/[module].aurora.yaml
 */

Decision Tree: Where to Put Code?

Need to add a new field/​entity?
  → Modify cliter/[package]/[module].aurora.yaml
  → Run Aurora CLI to regenerate

Need custom business logic?
  → Add to command/​query handler execute() method
  → Create custom service in services/ folder

Need new API endpoint?
  → Modify YAML and regenerate
  → Or create custom controller (rare)

Need to validate data?
  → Add validation in command handler
  → Or create custom validator service

Need to react to domain events?
  → Create event handler in events/ folder
  → Or use sagas for complex workflows

Need database-specific logic?
  → AVOID if possible
  → Use repository interface methods

Quick Navigation Commands

# Find all files for a module
find src -name "*unit*" -type f

# Find all command handlers
find src -name "*command-handler.ts" -type f

# Find all query handlers
find src -name "*query-handler.ts" -type f

# Find YAML definitions
ls cliter/​*/

# Find generated files by source
grep -r "@source cliter" src/

Resources

• YAML Definitions: See cliter/[package]/[module].aurora.yaml for module source
• Framework Core: See src/​@aurora/ for reusable decorators and modules
• Tests: See test/​acceptance/[package]/ for e2e test examples
