SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides end-to-end type safety for your TypeScript APIs, eliminating the need for code generation and ensuring consistency between your client and server.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Zero-Codegen Type Safety: Define your API once and get automatic type inference across your entire stack.
  • Developer Experience: Enjoy features like auto-completion, refactoring, and compile-time checks.
  • Use Case: Build a full-stack application where your React frontend and Node.js backend communicate seamlessly, with all API calls and data structures being fully type-checked.

Quick Start

Install the necessary tRPC packages for your server and client.

FAQPage Schema
How do I share TypeScript types between client and server without code generation?

You can share TypeScript types between client and server without codegen by using tRPC to define your API once and get automatic type inference across your full stack. This enables compile-time checks and refactoring without generating extra files.

What is the best way to achieve end-to-end type safety for a full-stack TypeScript API?

End-to-end type safety for a full-stack TypeScript API is achieved by sharing types directly between the client and server. tRPC provides this by facilitating automatic type inference and compile-time checks for seamless frontend and backend communication.

Does tRPC work with React Query and Next.js for data fetching?

Yes, tRPC integrates with React Query and Next.js to enhance developer experience and enable efficient data fetching. This combination allows your React frontend to communicate seamlessly with a Node.js backend using fully type-checked API calls.

Can I get automatic type inference for API calls in a React and Node.js application?

Yes, you can get automatic type inference for API calls in a React and Node.js application by sharing types directly across the stack. tRPC enables this with zero-codegen type safety, providing auto-completion and compile-time checks.

Do I need to run a code generation step to keep API types consistent across my stack?

No, you do not need to run a code generation step to keep API types consistent. tRPC provides zero-codegen type safety by allowing you to define your API once and automatically inferring the types across your client and server.

Are there limitations to using tRPC for full-stack type safety?

tRPC is designed specifically for TypeScript full-stack applications, meaning both your client and server environments must support TypeScript to achieve end-to-end type safety. It relies on sharing types directly rather than generating code for other languages.
