Introduction

Http-wizard weaves TypeScript magic, offering a type-safe API client and ensuring a delightful end-to-end developer experience. ✨

Here is an example of usage

Enregistrement.de.l.ecran.2023-11-12.a.13.59.14.mov

What it can do:

  • 100% type-safe api client with typescript magic (no code generation)
  • Fastify first-class support
  • React-query first-class support
  • Zod and Typebox Type providers
  • Delightful end-to-end developer experience (tRPC-like)
  • Http standards / REST compatibility: you are owner of your routes
  • Type inference utils

Installation

To get started, install http-wizard using npm or yarn:

npm install @http-wizard/core
# or
yarn add @http-wizard/core

Usage

Currently http-wizard uses Zod or Typebox for validation. Here is an example with Zod.

Let's first create a route on the server:

// server.ts
import { createRoute } from '@http-wizard/core';
import { z } from 'zod';

const User = z.object({
  id: z.string(),
  name: z.string(),
});

export const getUsers = (fastify: FastifyInstance) => {
  return createRoute('/users', {
    method: 'GET',
    schema: {
      response: {
        200: z.array(User),
      },
    },
  }).handle((props) => {
    fastify.route({
      ...props,
      handler: (request) => {
        const users = await db.getUsers();
        return users;
      },
    });
  });
};

const router = { ...getUsers() };
export type Router = typeof router;

Now, let's use the Router type on the client:

// client.ts
import { createClient, ZodTypeProvider } from '@http-wizard/core';
import axios from 'axios';

import type { Router } from './server';

const apiClient = createClient<Router, ZodTypeProvider>(axios.instance());
const users = await apiClient.ref('[GET]/users').query({});
// users array is safe: { id:string, name:string }[]

Easy, right?
