This course shows you how to build type-safe APIs with NestJS and oRPC. You work with shared Zod contracts, build clear CRUD endpoints, and create OpenAPI docs in a Turborepo setup. You write less boilerplate and keep your types in sync.

What You Build

You create a backend that checks data at each step. You use Zod to shape and validate input. You expose clean routes that match your contracts. You also sync these types across services in one repo.

CRUD with Strong Types

You define each route with Zod. You let NestJS use these types. This helps you catch errors early. It also keeps your code simple and clear.

Auto OpenAPI Docs

You generate OpenAPI docs from your Zod schemas. You do not repeat work. Your docs and your code stay aligned.

Full Stack Flow

You connect the backend to a React app. You use TanStack Query to call your API. You share the same types from backend to UI. This gives you end-to-end safety.

Typed Client Calls

Your frontend reads the same contracts as your backend. You call API methods with full type hints. You get safer code and faster feedback.

Frequently asked questions

What prerequisites are needed for this course?
Before enrolling, you should have a basic understanding of JavaScript and TypeScript, as well as familiarity with backend development concepts. Knowledge of NestJS and React would be beneficial, as the course focuses on building type-safe APIs and connecting them to a React app.
What will I build during the course?
You will build a backend that checks data at each step using Zod for input shaping and validation. You will expose clean CRUD endpoints that match your contracts and generate OpenAPI documentation. The backend will be connected to a React app, allowing you to implement full stack flow with type safety across the entire application.
Who is the target audience for this course?
This course is designed for developers interested in building type-safe APIs using NestJS and oRPC. It is suitable for those who want to ensure data integrity and synchronization across backend and frontend services. Developers looking to minimize boilerplate and maintain type consistency in a Turborepo setup will also benefit.
How does this course compare to other API development courses?
Unlike other courses that may focus solely on API development, this course emphasizes type safety and synchronization using shared Zod contracts. It covers generating OpenAPI documentation automatically and ensures types are consistent across both backend and frontend, providing a comprehensive approach to building reliable APIs.
What specific tools and platforms are used in the course?
The course utilizes NestJS for setting up the server-side application and oRPC for remote procedure calls. It employs Zod for defining and validating types and TanStack Query for managing server state in the React app. The entire project is organized within a Turborepo setup to maintain type synchronization.
What is not covered in this course?
The course does not cover advanced frontend development techniques beyond integrating a React app with the backend. It also does not delve into other backend frameworks or alternative API specification methods beyond OpenAPI and Zod.
How can the knowledge from this course be applied to other courses or careers?
The principles of type safety and end-to-end type synchronization taught in this course are applicable to various modern web development projects. Understanding how to create type-safe APIs can enhance your skills in roles such as full-stack development, backend engineering, and API design, making you a more versatile developer.
