How does this compare to https://trpc.io/ ?

Edit: so far, I'm preferring trpc, because it has support for zod and a few other libraries https://trpc.io/docs/v9/router

It seems like this library has its own bespoke syntax for types https://telefunc.com/typescript

trpc relies still on strings: No proper refactoring (ie F2 in VS Code) which makes refactoring as slow and error-prone as with REST and GraphQL. Should change with v10 but its API hasn't been finalized yet and ETA is far in 2023 if at all. Also overall API design has missed opportunities.

Telefunc should support zod, why shouldn't it? Just pass them as native zod types and all good. You could also convert them before with z.infer but you don't need to.

Only for stacks which don't transpile server-side code. You can use normal TS types with something like Next, Nuxt, Svelte, Vite, etc. So, these bespoke types aren't relevant for the majority.

I believe this is only the case with routes, and they're still statically typed. E.g. if you only define `/getUser` and try to invoke `/gteUsre`, it will yell at you.

Can you elaborate on this? AFAIK it only supports the types listed here https://telefunc.com/shield#all-types So my understanding is that you can't pass native zod types.

v10 is in beta and will go into RC fairly soon. I'd put my money on a 2022 final release. I'm already using it in production and it's rock solid. Only complaint is still having to restart the TS server in your editor occasionally due to all the inference magic it does.
