tRPC: The End of API Docs as We Know Them
tRPC is a framework that simplifies API development by allowing developers to write TypeScript functions that serve as both backend logic and API endpoints. The latest version, v11, introduces features like React Query v5 integration and support for Server-Sent Events, enhancing real-time capabilities. While tRPC offers significant advantages for TypeScript-centric projects, it may not be suitable for public APIs or polyglot environments.
- ▪tRPC allows developers to write TypeScript functions on the server that are callable from the frontend with full type inference.
- ▪Version 11 introduces React Query v5 integration, enabling clean data fetching without isLoading checks.
- ▪tRPC is particularly beneficial for TypeScript monorepos and internal tools, but it is not designed for public APIs or non-TypeScript clients.

The pitch is simple: instead of writing REST endpoints, writing OpenAPI specs, generating TypeScript types from those specs, then manually keeping all that in sync — you just write TypeScript functions on the server. tRPC makes them callable from the frontend with full type inference. No code generation.
