I Found a Better Way to Build APIs (And It Actually Makes Sense)

• Zod →

• tRPC OpenAPI →

⸻

something i liked

they use Zod for validation

so instead of writing checks again and again

you define schema once and it validates automatically

⸻

best part

docs are auto generated 🤯

like you don’t manually write docs

it creates something like openapi.json

and you can plug it into tools like Swagger

⸻

why this feels useful

• clear structure from start

• frontend + backend stay in sync

• no outdated docs

• less confusion

⸻

thinking to try this

haven’t implemented fully yet

but feels like a clean way to build things

⸻

if anyone using this

is it actually good in real projects?

or gets complicated later?

would like to know 👍
