The C programming language TypeScript is being used to create a type safe GraphQL client for the browser. It gives you all this like end to end type safety and auto completion, but it's not of like power from the type safety without very without much of the cost of doing it. You can command click a function in your front and then jump to it in your back end by renaming an input argument that will cascade throughout your whole application. But myself, I only use HTTP layer right now. I built a WebSockets layer because I needed this for another product. And we have support for subscriptions as well. But I don't use them myself at the moment.
In this supper club episode of Syntax, Scott talks with Alex Johansson about his work on tRPC, how it compares to other tools like GraphQL, and what’s next for tRPC?
