Type-Safe API Client for REST & GraphQL

Estimated time: 4+ weeks
5 steps

A library that generates TypeScript-safe API clients for REST and GraphQL.

Implementation Steps

  1. Step 1: As a backend developer, I want to design an API client generator structure so that developers can create type-safe API requests.
  2. Step 2: As a developer, I need to implement TypeScript type-safe API request handling for both REST and GraphQL to prevent runtime errors.
  3. Step 3: As a backend engineer, I will integrate OpenAPI for REST APIs to auto-generate API clients and ensure consistency.
  4. Step 4: As a developer, I need to support GraphQL introspection to automatically fetch and apply schema updates.
  5. Step 5: As a QA engineer, I will write unit and integration tests to validate API client functionality before publishing.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use OpenAPI for automatic REST API generation.
  • Leverage GraphQL Code Generator for GraphQL clients.
  • Ensure robust error handling in API requests.
