SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

End-to-end type-safe APIs are essential for reliable, scalable TypeScript apps; tRPC enables seamless server-client contracts without code generation or GraphQL complexity.

Core Features & Use Cases

End-to-end type-safe APIs with tRPC and Next.js integration
Zod-based input validation and schema inference
Nested routers, middleware-based protected procedures, and clean composition
Use cases include internal tools, dashboards, and internal API surfaces for large TypeScript apps

Quick Start

Create a Next.js project and integrate the tRPC setup to expose a type-safe API route and consume it from a client.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build end-to-end type-safe APIs in Next.js without code generation?▼

End-to-end type-safe APIs in Next.js are built using tRPC to establish a single source of truth for API contracts, enabling robust type inference across server and client without requiring code generation.

Does tRPC work with Next.js App Router and React Query?▼

tRPC works seamlessly with Next.js App Router and React Query, supporting full-stack TypeScript projects to expose type-safe API routes and consume them directly from client components.

How do I validate inputs and infer types in a TypeScript API?▼

Inputs in a TypeScript API are validated using Zod-based schemas, where tRPC leverages Zod for input validation and schema inference to ensure server-client data contracts remain strictly typed.

Can I create nested routers and protected procedures in tRPC?▼

Nested routers and protected procedures are fully supported in tRPC, allowing you to compose clean nested routers and apply middleware-based protected procedures to secure internal API surfaces.

What is the best way to maintain server-client API contracts in large TypeScript apps?▼

The best way to maintain server-client API contracts in large TypeScript apps is using tRPC, providing a single source of truth with zero code generation for internal tools and dashboards.
