Trpc Tanstack Nextjs

What it does

This skill integrates tRPC with TanStack Query and Next.js to enable type-safe API communication between frontend and backend. It automatically generates TypeScript types for your API endpoints, ensuring compile-time safety and reducing runtime errors during development.

When to use it

• Enforce Type Safety: Connect your React components directly to database queries without manual type definitions.
• Accelerate Development: Leverage automatic type inference to speed up the creation of new features and data fetching logic.
• Simplify Refactoring: Maintain consistency across your codebase when modifying API schemas or database structures.
• Optimize Performance: Combine tRPC's request validation with TanStack Query's caching strategies for efficient data handling.

Key capabilities

• Automatic TypeScript type generation from server-side procedures.
• Seamless integration with Next.js App Router and Pages Router.
• Built-in support for TanStack Query (React Query) data fetching patterns.
• End-to-end type safety from database to UI components.

Example prompts

• "Set up a tRPC endpoint in my Next.js app to fetch user data securely."
• "Generate TypeScript types for my API routes using tRPC and TanStack Query."
• "Connect a React form component to a validated backend mutation via tRPC."

Tips & gotchos

Ensure your backend server is configured with the correct initTRPC context before attempting frontend integration. This skill requires a solid understanding of both Next.js routing conventions and TypeScript interfaces to maximize its benefits.
