Nestjs Dependency Injection and DDD / Clean Architecture

Export a symbol or a string along with your interface with the same name

export interface IService {
  get(): Promise<string>  
}

export const IService = Symbol("IService");

Now you can basically use IService as both the interface and the dependency token

import { IService } from '../interfaces/service';

@Injectable()
export class ServiceImplementation implements IService { // Used as an interface
  get(): Promise<string> {
    return Promise.resolve(`Hello World`);
  }
}

import { IService } from './interfaces/service';
import { ServiceImplementation} from './impl/service';
...

@Module({
  imports: [],
  controllers: [AppController],
  providers: [{
    provide: IService, // Used as a symbol
    useClass: ServiceImplementation
  }],
})
export class AppModule {}

import { IService } from '../interfaces/service';

@Controller()
export class AppController {
  // Used both as interface and symbol
  constructor(@Inject(IService) private readonly service: IService) {}

  @Get()
  index(): Promise<string> {
    return this.service.get(); // returns Hello World
  }
}
