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