What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of defining API contracts for oRPC, enabling contract-first development and simplifying the implementation process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Contract-First Development: Define API contracts before writing implementation code, ensuring a clear and consistent API design.
  • Code Generation: Automatically generate TypeScript code from the defined contracts, reducing manual coding.
  • Use Case: Ideal for teams that want to establish a robust API design from the start, ensuring a consistent and maintainable codebase.

Quick Start

Use the oRPC Define Contract skill to create a new contract for your API by providing the necessary input and output types.

FAQPage Schema
How do I define API contracts using oRPC for contract-first development?

To define API contracts with oRPC, you provide the necessary input and output types to establish a structured API interface before writing implementation code. This enables a clear, consistent contract-first design process.

What is contract-first API design in TypeScript and when do I need it?

Contract-first API design in TypeScript means defining your API interfaces and operations before writing the actual implementation code. You need it to ensure a robust, consistent, and maintainable codebase from the start of development.

Can I automatically generate TypeScript code from my oRPC contracts?

Yes, you can automatically generate TypeScript code from your defined oRPC contracts. This reduces manual coding and simplifies the implementation process by deriving the code directly from the structured API interfaces.

What is the best way to structure oRPC API interfaces for a consistent codebase?

The best way to structure oRPC API interfaces is by using a contract-first approach, where you explicitly define input and output types beforehand. This ensures your API design remains robust and maintainable across your team.

Do I need the @orpc/contract dependency to define API interfaces?

Yes, you need the @orpc/contract dependency to define API interfaces for oRPC development. It provides the necessary structured way to establish contracts and enables the subsequent TypeScript code generation.

Why should my team use oRPC contracts instead of writing implementation code directly?

You should use oRPC contracts to establish a robust API design from the start, ensuring a consistent and maintainable codebase. It streamlines development by enabling code generation and simplifying the implementation process.
