What is an API contract between frontend and backend?▼

An API contract defines request and response payload schemas, error behaviors, pagination, and auth expectations to prevent frontend-backend implementation drift.

How do I define payload schemas for frontend-backend integration?▼

Draft an explicit API contract before coding begins, specifying request and response payload shapes, error behavior, and client-state guarantees to keep frontend-backend teams aligned.

When do I need to specify API error handling and pagination contracts?▼

You need explicit API error handling and pagination contracts when defining initial feature boundaries, ensuring error behavior, pagination, and auth expectations are agreed upon before implementation.

Can I use API contracts to manage open questions during feature development?▼

Yes, API contracts facilitate ownership and decision-logging by explicitly documenting open questions, ensuring frontend and backend teams maintain alignment on unresolved interface boundaries.

Does defining API contracts require specific frameworks or dependencies?▼

Defining API contracts requires no specific dependencies or frameworks, focusing purely on specifying payload shapes, auth expectations, and error behavior to prevent frontend-backend drift.

What is the best way to prevent API drift between frontend and backend teams?▼
