SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create or extend an API backend endpoint that is validated, authorized, and thoroughly tested, with consistent error handling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Validates request and response shapes for endpoints to guarantee contract adherence.
  • Enforces authentication and authorization hooks and aligns with routing patterns.
  • Maps errors to a stable taxonomy and provides test scaffolding for reliability.
  • Scaffolds or updates endpoint handlers, controllers, and router entries according to repository conventions.

Quick Start

Specify the endpoint method and path, then configure validation and auth requirements to generate the endpoint scaffold.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a backend API endpoint with validation and authorization?

To scaffold a backend API endpoint, specify the endpoint method and path, then configure your request/response validation and authentication requirements. This generates a validated, authorized endpoint handler with robust error mapping and test scaffolding.

What is the best way to enforce API contract validation across microservices?

Enforcing API contract validation across microservices requires scaffolding endpoints with strict request and response shape validation. This approach guarantees contract adherence and maps errors to a stable taxonomy for consistent inter-service communication.

How do I generate test scaffolding for new API endpoints?

You can generate test scaffolding for API endpoints by configuring your endpoint method, path, and validation rules. The scaffolding process creates test structures alongside the endpoint handler to ensure reliability and contract enforcement.

How do I map backend errors to a consistent taxonomy for API responses?

Mapping backend errors to a consistent taxonomy involves scaffolding endpoints with predefined error handling logic. This maps runtime errors to stable response codes and messages, ensuring reliable error taxonomy across microservices.

Can I scaffold endpoint controllers and router entries according to existing repository conventions?

Yes, you can scaffold or update endpoint handlers, controllers, and router entries according to repository conventions. The process aligns with existing routing patterns and authentication hooks to integrate seamlessly into your backend workflow.

Does scaffolding backend endpoints work for adding authentication hooks to APIs?

Yes, scaffolding backend endpoints works for adding authentication hooks by enforcing auth requirements during generation. It aligns these hooks with your routing patterns to secure the API endpoint effectively.
