fastify-openapi-glue VS tsoa

fastify-openapi-glue

Tsoa is a popular TypeScript framework similar to Goa that you may encounter in the OpenAPI ecosystem. Speakeasy has a tutorial for it, too.

Currently i am using TSOA and loving it, it gives you automatic Open API specs and data validation based on typescript interfaces. I have used Nest on previous projects but I personally don't like the decorators hell that comes with Nest, and raw express/fastify are ok and easy to use but a pain in the ass on big projects to keep swagger, validations, interfaces and DTOs all in sync.

I'm curious if anyone here has played around with or used TSOA (https://github.com/lukeautry/tsoa)?

If you decide to go with Express/Typescript I would definitely check out TSOA. It's a nice way to build backend APIs with auto documentation.

We are using TSOA to generate the docs from the code, works pretty well. https://github.com/lukeautry/tsoa

This is the best project I’ve found to that for that - https://github.com/lukeautry/tsoa. Uses decorators mainly.

If there are other such projects, please share.

Hello, In the last month I built a REST API template in Typescript to quickly bootstrap new projects, I tried to use the most updated modules available, I've also included a "todo" sample just to showcase how all the things work together, the main modules that I've used are: - expressjs + tsoa that allows to easily generate the OpenAPI spec without any additional steps (just declare your controllers via typescript) - class-validator to validate body requests (this is also useful as the OpenAPI will be automatically generated based on the classes that you define) - Jest for testing, I've included also unit and integrations test samples with an in-memory database

Have a look at [TSOA[(https://github.com/lukeautry/tsoa). While far from perfect (I am on the lookout to find a better solution), gets the job done. And generating the entire routing is a pretty neat trick, so that's also that.

tsoa Lighter weight, but also great.
