SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @trpc/server, zod, @trpc/client, @trpc/react-query, @tanstack/react-query.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the common challenge of maintaining type consistency between frontend and backend code in TypeScript applications, eliminating runtime errors caused by API mismatches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Full-Stack Type Safety: Ensures that API requests and responses are always type-correct across your entire application without manual code generation.
  • Developer Experience: Provides features like autocompletion, refactoring support, and reduced boilerplate for building APIs.
  • Use Case: When developing a Next.js application with React Query, use this Skill to define your API procedures once and have them automatically typed for both your server (e.g., in API routes) and your client components.

Quick Start

Install the necessary tRPC packages and define your first procedure in your server code.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I achieve end-to-end type safety between my React frontend and backend API?▼

End-to-end type safety connects your frontend and backend API types automatically. Using tRPC with TypeScript eliminates runtime API contract mismatches, ensuring requests and responses remain type-correct across your full stack.

How do I set up tRPC with React Query for full-stack type-safe procedures?▼

To set up tRPC with React Query, install the necessary tRPC packages, define your server-side router with Zod for input validation, and integrate the client-side library to automatically type your API procedures for both server and client components.

Why do I get runtime API contract mismatches in TypeScript and how can I prevent them?▼

Runtime API contract mismatches occur when frontend and backend types fall out of sync. You can prevent them by implementing tRPC to facilitate full-stack type safety, providing autocompletion and refactoring support to catch errors during development.

Does tRPC require Zod for input validation in a Next.js application?▼

Yes, tRPC requires server-side router definition with Zod for input validation. This setup ensures that API procedures in your Next.js application are properly validated and automatically typed for both your server and client components.

Can I get autocompletion and refactoring support for my API without manual code generation?▼

You can get autocompletion and refactoring support for your API without manual code generation by using tRPC. It facilitates full-stack type safety by defining your API procedures once, automatically sharing types between server and client.
