tsoa VS typetta

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.

Have you ever tried Typetta? It's a Typescript ORM based on GraphQL model definition. ;-)

Have you ever heard of Typetta? We proudly built a Typescript ORM for both SQL and noSQL databases that gives you the ability to build a completely auto-generated GraphQL server to access your data in less than 5 minutes.

Give a try to Typetta!

The GitHub repository is the following: https://github.com/twinlogix/typetta The documentation: https://twinlogix.github.io/typetta/

I think you can't implement every security policy for every type you can request in every resolver. It requires a lot of code duplication and increase complexity. It's simply not maintainable. I ended up thinking that security policies should be applied by the layer that is in charge to load the graph, but this is just my opinion. I discussed all this things in a Medium article (https://blog.devgenius.io/how-to-secure-your-graphql-api-part-1-eb41f66ec07e) where I also proposed a solution based on a library that me and my team built to simplify the data access in a GraphQL context (it's name is Typetta and you can find more details here https://twinlogix.github.io/typetta/).

I used Mongoose in the past, but I found it rough in terms of typing, that is important in a TS context. I also tried the official driver but, you know, it's only a driver. I (and my team) ended up building something new, a sort of a type-safe open-source ORM we named Typetta (https://twinlogix.github.io/typetta/). We are using it in some production projects, with a very good feedback, but my questions is still there: how do others face the problem of managing a data layer on top of MongoDB?
