# Data Access Layer (DAL)
## **Priority: P1 (HIGH)**
Centralize all data access (Database & External APIs) to ensure consistent security, authorization, and caching.
## Principles
1. **Server-Only**: Must include `import 'server-only'` to prevent Client bundling.
2. **Auth Co-location**: Auth checks (`session.role`) must be **inside** the DAL function.
3. **DTO Transformation**: Return plain objects (DTOs), never raw ORM instances.
4. **No Internal Fetch**: Call DAL functions directly. Do not `fetch('localhost/api')`.
## Implementation
| Approach | When to use | Reference |
| :-------------------- | :----------------------------------------------- | :---------------------------------- |
| **API Gateway (BFF)** | Enterprise apps with separated Backend (NestJS). | [Pattern A](references/patterns.md) |
| **Direct DB** | Fullstack apps or Admin Panels. | [Pattern B](references/patterns.md) |
## Limitations
- **Client Components**: Cannot import DAL files. Must use Server Actions or Route Handlers as bridges.
