24 alternatives to I made a fetch client builder to make API calls simpler and safer
I built this library because I kept rewriting the same fetch wrapper for every project. Each time, I needed the same core features: - Make fetch throw errors to integrate smoothly with libraries like TanStack Query - Add sensible defaults to the Fetch API, like a base URL and authentication headers - Validate responses for type safety when OpenAPI isn’t an option I also wanted the library to feel exactly like using fetch — no new API to learn, and no extra friction for my teammates. While there are other great options out there, I found many were either too rigid or too bulky. Doesn’t it…

Hey there HN! I just wrapped up an all-day documentation spree for Instant API, a JavaScript framework for easily building web APIs that implements type safety at the HTTP interface. It uses a function-as-a-service approach combined with a slightly modified JSDoc spec to automatically enforce parameter and schema validation before HTTP requests make it through to your code. You just write comments above your endpoint functions and voila, enforced type safety contracts between your API endpoints and your developers. OpenAPI specifications are generated automatically as a byproduct of simply…

TanStack▲26Hi HN, Kyle, Sam and the TanStack team here. We’ve been working on TanStack DB, an embedded, reactive client database for TanStack Query, and are proud to announce today that with the 0.1 release that it's now in BETA! TanStack DB plugs into your existing TanStack Query useQuery calls and uses Differential Dataflow to incrementally recompute only what changed, so updates stay sub-millisecond even with 100k rows. You get live queries, optimistic updates with automatic rollback, and streaming joins — all in the client! TanStack DB works with REST, GraphQL, WebSockets, and shines with sync…

I've been building a web UI library for a side project of mine. I thought it might be useful to others, so I'm releasing it as open source. To put it simply, I realized that most of my pain points with React come from its declarative model ui=f(state). So I'm trying something that I'm calling "imperative JSX." Instead of treating JSX as the source of truth for your UI, it essentially becomes a query interface for DOM manipulation. I first had the idea for it a few months ago, and only began writing it in earnest last week, so it's extremely early and nowhere near production-ready. Still, I'd…

Hi HN! We’re excited to share our new code generator that lets you ship high-quality TypeScript SDKs, that your users will love, from your OpenAPI documents. Our ongoing goal is to help you build one SDK that runs anywhere modern JavaScript runs. This includes new runtimes like Deno and Bun in addition to the ever-popular Node.js. Additionally, the popularity of AI has meant server-sent events and file streaming are also commonplace - we wanted to cover these use cases too. This explosion in new runtimes and ways of interacting with APIs shifts cognitive burden on API developers often having…

This began as a passion project and an opportunity to learn new tech. I've always experienced frustration developing APIs, especially the RESTful CRUD style of data APIs. It always felt like I was repeating the same patterns over and over again, and that was tedium I didn't want. A little over a year ago, I wanted to learn more about Go, Firecracker microVM, and Svelte and thought "Could I build an API framework that was just a simple description of resources? What would that look like?" That lead me to https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/, which landed me on…

Hey everyone! Some time ago I was analyzing why React apps are so hard to optimize, and came to a conclusion that the lack of atomic updates is the culprit. I made an experimental library which basically updates everything in place directly in HTML. At some point I became aware that Solidjs exists, which is a very similar idea, but at the end of the day I realized my approach to API is quite different and warrants the existence of my library (my state primitive allows selector subscriptions, array iterators return a state primitive with the element, allowing to never re-render the whole…

TL;DR- Libninja will generate world-class client libraries for you, without you needing to fiddle with openapi-generator, maintain build pipelines, and so forth. If you just want Rust, reach out, and I'll create your client library at no cost, because I want to help Rust's ecosystem grow. -- Hi HN, I got into Rust in a big way about 9 months ago. While the language is quickly maturing, one large gap in the ecosystem is immature or non-existent client libraries for common API services like Plaid, Stripe, Twilio, Github, Slack, and so on. The existing openapi-generator templates create Rust…
