question: not working across node.js modules

We have a project with multiple node.js modules. Several of them use class-validator – but they don’t work together. Each module gets its own instance of the class-validator where the decorators are stored, so they can’t share common class validation. I’ve tried the useContainer method, but that doesn’t resolve the issue.

We need some sort of solution to make all the class-validator module instances work together.

@NoNameProvided flattening is a workaround, not the solution. What if you have a separate module that store the shared (between frontend and backend) code, like DTOs with class-validator decorators?

[MichalLytek]

Nope. When you require the class, it uses local node_modules, so during development with npm link you will have this problems with class-validator. Been there, done that 😉 I’ve used container with weird initialization (order of require) to make it work but global metadata storage would solve all the issues.
