Django 5.0 Is Released
I'll preface all of this with a couple esoteric design goals that I had in mind:
1. I actually _want_ an SPA. You might not need an SPA, if you don't need one then Vue/React/etc are overkill, etc.
2. I want to power as much of the SPA as I can using the same REST API as my core product, both for dogfooding reasons and for consolidation. Many people might argue that this is a bad idea.
---
With that in mind, some specific packages that I highly recommend:
1. Django-vite (https://github.com/MrBin99/django-vite). This makes it very easy to serve an SPA from the actual django response/request model
2. Some sort of way to get type information (if you're using TypeScript) into the frontend. I use a frankensteined system of the OpenAPI spec that django-ninja generates + openapi-typescript (https://github.com/drwpow/openapi-typescript). This means when I add, say, a new field to a response in Django, I immediately get typechecking for it in Vue — which has been _tremendously_ useful.
3. Django-typescript-routes (a package I extracted and open-sourced!: https://github.com/buttondown-email/django-typescript-routes) which gives your front-end routing information based on the Django router.

Tell HN: Postman just wiped all my stuff
Glad to see alternatives but disappointed that Bruno does not support OpenAPI specification.
At my company, we hand-edit OpenAPI specs in YAML and it gets consumed by many tools that generate types[0], static analysis and dynamic checks[1]. The OpenAPI spec itself is linted[2]. And of course, Postman consumes OpenAPI.
Tools that are built on open standards will naturally see greater adoption over those that use proprietary formats.

tRPC – Move Fast and Break Nothing. End-to-end typesafe APIs made easy
Another great library to generate TS types from OpenAPI is https://github.com/drwpow/openapi-typescript . It provides the types as single objects you access via indexing, which is pretty nice. There's a partner library to generate a typed fetch client.

How can I generate typescript types?
If you're willing to document your API with an OpenAPI schema, then it should be possible to generate TypeScript types based on the OpenAPI schema with something like openapi-typescript. Also, Typebox can generate JSON schemas, maybe it can be used to generate something that the front-end can also use?
