Axios API Client with Type Checking

🌐 Languages

• 中文版

Purpose

The goal of this package is to ensure type safety when calling APIs using Axios. Instead of relying on as T to cast response data, this package validates the response structure at runtime, enabling immediate error detection if the API returns incorrect data. By leveraging generics and pre-defined methods, this package minimizes potential errors during development and avoids runtime surprises.

Features

• Type-Safe API Calls: Validate API responses at runtime to prevent incorrect type usage.
• Leverage Generics: Provide strong type hints during development.
• Customizable Validation: Define custom validation functions or use third-party tools like typia.
• Predefined API Methods: Simplify API interactions with pre-built methods for GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE requests.
• Default Parameter Behavior: Use never as defaults for Params, Query, and Body to enforce explicit typing.

Installation

pnpm install @chi0307/axios-wrapper

Usage

Creating an API Client

import { createApiClient } from '@chi0307/axios-wrapper'

const apiClient = createApiClient('http://localhost')

Example: Define Types and Validators

Manual Validator

interface User {
  id: number
  name: string
}
function isUser(data: unknown): data is User {
  return (
    typeof data === 'object' &&
    data !== null &&
    'id' in data &&
    typeof data.id === 'number' &&
    'name' in data &&
    typeof data.name === 'string'
  )
}
function isUsers(data: unknown): data is User[] {
  return Array.isArray(data) && data.every(isUser)
}

// Example Usage
export const getUsers = apiClient.get('/users', isUsers)
export const getUser = apiClient.get<{ userId: string }, never, User>('/user/:userId', isUser)

const { data: users } = await getUsers() // Type: User[] | null
const { data: user } = await getUser({ params: { userId: '123' } }) // Type: User | null

Using Typia for Validation

import typia from 'typia'

interface User {
  id: number
  name: string
}

export const getUsers = apiClient.get('/users', typia.createIs<User[]>())
export const getUser = apiClient.get<{ userId: string }, never, User>(
  '/user/:userId',
  typia.createIs<User>(),
)

const { data: users } = await getUsers() // Type: User[] | null
const { data: user } = await getUser({ params: { userId: '123' } }) // Type: User | null

API Client Method Structure

Method Signatures

ApiClient.get<Params, Query, ReturnTyping>(url: string, validateResponse: (data: unknown) => data is ReturnTyping)
ApiClient.post<Params, Query, Body, ReturnTyping>(url: string, validateResponse: (data: unknown) => data is ReturnTyping)
ApiClient.put<Params, Query, Body, ReturnTyping>(url: string, validateResponse: (data: unknown) => data is ReturnTyping)
ApiClient.patch<Params, Query, Body, ReturnTyping>(url: string, validateResponse: (data: unknown) => data is ReturnTyping)
ApiClient.delete<Params, Query, ReturnTyping>(url: string, validateResponse: (data: unknown) => data is ReturnTyping)

Default Parameter Behavior

• Params, Query, and Body default to never.
• If parameters are required, specify them explicitly along with ReturnTyping.
• ReturnTyping will be inferred automatically if validateResponse is provided.
