Dependencies

The generated code has a few dependencies that need to be installed in your project.

Fetch wrapper

The fetch wrapper is a simple wrapper around the fetch api. It is used to make the api client more testable. The default implementation is as follows:

import queryString from "qs";

type DataResponse<TData = null> = Response & {
  data: TData | null;
};
export interface Constraint {
  constraints: Record<string, string>;
  property: string;
  value: string;
}
export interface DataError {
  code: string;
  info: string;
  message: string;
  constraints: Constraint[];
}

export class fetchWrapper {
  static globalReqInfo: RequestInit = {
    credentials: "include",
  };

  static send = async <TData = null>(
    url: string,
    reqInfo: RequestInit,
    params?: Record<string, unknown>
  ): Promise<{
    response: DataResponse<TData> | null;
    error: null | DataError;
  }> => {
    try {
      const preparedUrl = params
        ? `${url}?${queryString.stringify(params, {
            skipNulls: true,
            arrayFormat: "brackets",
          })}`
        : url;
      const response = (await fetch(preparedUrl, {
        ...reqInfo,
        ...fetchWrapper.globalReqInfo,
      })) as DataResponse<TData>;

      const respData = await response.text();
      const parsedRespData = respData ? JSON.parse(respData) : null;
      if (response.ok) {
        response.data = parsedRespData;
        return { response, error: null };
      }
      console.error("fetch response unsuccessful", response);
      return {
        response: null,
        error: {
          code: response.status,
          info: response.statusText,
          ...parsedRespData,
        },
      };
    } catch (ex) {
      console.error("fetch operation failed", ex);
      return { response: null, error: ex as DataError };
    }
  };
}

Only requirement is to implement following interface:

export interface IFetchWrapper<R> {
  send<TData = null>(
    url: string,
    reqInfo: RequestInit,
    params?: Record<string, unknown>
  ): Promise<R>;
}

Constants

The generated code uses a few constants that need to be defined in your project in the file <output dir>/constants.ts

export const API_BASE_URL = "http://localhost:3000";

Generated code

The generated code is split into 2 files:

• {--output}{--client}.ts - contains the api client
• {--output}{--contracts}.ts - contains the data contracts

!IMPORTANT! The generated code is not prettified, so you might want to run prettier on it.
