Strapi is a Headless CMS built with TypeScript. It has a backend and a frontend. Just take a look at how many configuration files it has just for running the project.
Project mention: Bypass CORS errors while testing your APIs using Hoppscotch 🔧 | dev.to | 2024-04-17How can Hoppscotch help you intercept the API calls? 👽
Project mention: Ask HN: Does Anyone Use a "Closed Core" Software Model? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-16> "Are there examples of companies adopting this model?"
Many examples across the industry:
- Autodesk AutoCAD (closed) + Plugins/Addons (many open)
- MS Windows (closed) + Many 3rd party programs (open)
- Github (closed) + Github Actions (open)
- Npm (closed) + Npm modules (mostly open)
> "What are the potential benefits or pitfalls?"
Benefits:
- Harder to replicate, the company gets to keep the "secret sauce" a secret
- Opening up a way to "extend" the platform means 3rd party developers add value to your system
- The core isn't open, so less effort is required to maintain compare to OpenSource
Pitfalls:
- Closed-source is hard to verify, company is essentially saying "trust me bro"
- Less innovation, as user's can't contribute to the core
> "How does it impact community engagement and software adoption?"
There's hardcore FOSS advocates that will hate anything not fully open. But a business has to make money and protect it's IP, having a "closed core" is one way to do that and ensure a sustainable business model.
Another approach is the opposite, open-core + closed-premium-addons. An example of this is "React Admin"
- Open Core -> https://github.com/marmelab/react-admin
- Premium Modules Offering -> https://react-admin-ee.marmelab.com/
Project mention: Ky: Tiny and elegant JavaScript HTTP client based on the browser Fetch API | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-24
API Platform is a great tool for rapid API development, but it has a lot of not-so-well-documented features which can sometimes lead to confusion. Playing around with a new project of mine I've stumbled into one: tests were failing for my validation assertions of endpoints' responses!
Mockoon - Used as a logging server instead of using print in the console.
Same. I use https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient
If you need a little more control or automation, it can also generate scripts for cURL or PowerShell (and others) directly from the request. Organization is on you, but I prefer that over a heavyweight and opinionated tool like Postman.
The .http files can also be used in Jetbrains Rider (probably their other suites as well)
RESTful APIs via swagger-typescript-api
I've been using Remult for a while now and I'm really happy with it. Let me walk you through why I made the switch and how it went.
Agree here. When I was on the API Management team, I generally saw customers set up a repository of API specifications (incidentally, this is also how we do it internally at Microsoft - check it out at https://github.com/azure/azure-rest-api-specs) - those specifications generally drive the API Management side of things, but with review from a centralized API management team. The “spec” should consist of both the specification (Swagger, SOAP, GraphQL SDL, etc.) and the policy or policies appropriate for the API.
tRPC does not natively export OpenAPI documents, but the trpc-openapi package adds this functionality. We'll start this tutorial by adding trpc-openapi to a project, and then we'll add a script to generate an OpenAPI schema and save it as a file.
