About faasjs-api-jobs
faasjs-api-jobs is a development skill for building and validating FaasJS APIs and background jobs. It guides schema boundaries, HTTP helpers, job scheduling and retries, generated paths, and testing.
Key features
- 01API schemas and error handling
- 02HTTP response helpers
- 03Job enqueueing and execution
- 04Scheduling and retry guidance
- 05Generated job path management
- 06API and job testing
Use cases
- 01Define and validate API inputs
- 02Implement cookie and session handling
- 03Build jobs with retry-aware behavior
- 04Test queue, worker, and scheduler flows

From the project READMEFaasJS API And Jobs
Default Workflow
- Keep API and job files inside the feature slice that owns the behavior.
- Define external input schemas at the boundary and keep business input visible as
params.key. - Use
HttpErrorwith explicit status codes for expected API failures; reserve plainErrorfor internal failures. - Use injected HTTP helpers for cookies, sessions, headers, status, body, and content type.
- Treat jobs as at-least-once execution, make enqueueing explicit, and keep generated paths aligned with runtime discovery.

Gotchas
- Destructure only the top-level handler context, such as
handler({ params }); do not destructure business fields fromparams. - Run
npx faas typesafter adding, renaming, moving, or removing.api.tsor.job.tsfiles; ordinary handler edits do not change path declarations. - Do not cast dynamic strings to generated job paths or keep transaction clients after their callbacks.
- Check user, tenant, organization, project, role, or permission scope before reading or mutating data.
- Do not log secrets, tokens, passwords, cookies, full sensitive payloads, or unredacted third-party responses.
Validation
- Run focused API or job tests with
vp test <pattern>. - Run
npx faas typesafter API or job path topology changes. - Run
vp check --fixbefore handoff when backend files changed.
