TanStack DB: No More Broken APIs

TanStack DB will be a boon for REST APIs - even though it's a frontend library.

Just as React's UI patterns led to GraphQL, complex UI requirements drive developers to create bespoke REST endpoints. TanStack DB changes this: components query, join, and filter a local DB instead of making network requests. The DB handles data population and state updates to your data source over your favourite protocol. This setup allows the frontend to query data exactly as needed, while keeping your REST API clean and decoupled.

TanStack DB pairs naturally with sync engines, but its get and mutation structure works equally well with REST APIs

Build Forms with JSON Schema

Building a form that calls a REST API? Now you can use the JSON Schema from the API Spec to make forms. React JSON Schema Form provides a simple React component for building your forms: customisable, advanced validation, UI styling and more. Now you have even more use for your API Spec.

Mastering URLPattern for Cross-Platform Routing

A native routing primitive has finally arrived in JavaScript, supported in both browsers and Node. With this new API, you get a framework-free router that can handle route matching with strict validation, named groups, and more. This blog covers all the background and how to use it in a Service Worker or Node.

Enterprise Ready REST API Microservice in Golang

We all know that a REST API is the best API. Now there is a production-ready REST API template in GO. This killer template is packed with everything from health checks, logins, OWASP compliance, authentication, Docker readiness, and OpenAPI 3 specification—honestly, an incredible template.

Strongly Typed Web API Integration Tests

Tim Deschryver guides us through using Kiota, an OpenAPI client generator, to create strongly typed API clients for testing purposes. No need to handcraft your HTTP requests and pray you got the route right; instead, you get auto-complete method calls that match your API spec.
