The most straight forward way to create typescript clients for go APIs. Think of this as the tRPC equivalent, but in go.

Why not openapi?

Basically, I wanted something much more simple and straight forward to use. This tool only serves one purpose: to generate a typescript api client from go code at runtime, and nothing else.

Forget about specs, forget about correct REST principles. You can run the example program at cmd/ with air, and change the req / res json tags. You'll see that the scripts at scripts/ typecheck on save.

An example app

testing

Run go run ./cmd to generate a scripts/apiclient.ts. Check that apiclient (integration tests coming soon)

TODO

• Avoid repeating the same input / output type to make generated code slimmer
• Add adapters support, not echo only.
• Better docs. Maybe with website?
