zodios VS garph

Zodios This is like tRPC but for REST APIs. Get an end-to-end typesafe developer experience in your Next.js apps

Zod is great. If you have an API that is also written in Typescript you can use zodios to make it type-safe from end to end.

@ecyrbe - Zodios | End-to-end typesafe REST API toolbox

Writing client APIs, that gives you autocompletion is time consuming. You allways endup writing the same kind of boilerplate code or have to use openapi code generators that are a pain to maintain. Zodios was created to make creating frontend (and optionally backend) API client a breeze. It's is an open source REST API toolbox with end-to-end typesafety. It allows you to create a REST API with a clean, intuitive and declarative syntax. It's best used with TypeScript, but it's also usable with pure JavaScript.

if you want to see it in practice, you can check some tests here for zodios library.

In the last article we have seen how to use zodios to declare custom REST APIs. As a reminder, Zodios is an open source HTTP client with type checking at runtime (zod validation) and also at compile time (typescript) without needing to write both types and validation schemas. You just need to write your API declaration once and you're done.

Zodios is a small open-source library that helps you declare your REST APIs in frontend applications thanks to Zod library.

https://garph.dev is pretty good. I have been using it for two months and love the experience. I had started out with nexus and briefly also evaluted pothos but switched to garph because the dev experience was superior. It takes full advantage of the structural type system of typescript rather than frameworks that lean more towards java style idioms.

Most recently, I worked at Step CI a Technical Founder and authored the API-Testing Framework (https://stepci.com) and Garph (https://garph.dev), a full-stack API-Framework, which brings the developer-experience of tRPC to GraphQL.

My passion is in making tools developers love using and make them more productive.

If you want something like tRPC but for GraphQL, you should definitely give Garph a try: https://garph.dev

Amazing findings! Really admire your effort here

Btw. If you're building a GraphQL API using TypeScript, you should take a look at garph (https://garph.dev) which helps you to create type-safe GraphQL APIs without code-gen

The next step is undoubtedly the creation of our GraphQL Schema using Garph to create a totally type-safe API without needing to do codegen.
