Api Endpoint Scaffolder

This scaffolds REST API endpoints with validation, error handling, and proper TypeScript types baked in. You get templates for Next.js App Router and Express that include Zod schema validation, appropriate HTTP status codes, and structured error responses. It's opinionated about the basics like logging errors without exposing internals and using consistent response formats. If you're tired of writing the same boilerplate every time you add a new route, or you want your team's endpoints to follow the same patterns, this gives you a solid starting structure. The templates are practical starting points, not production-ready code, but they handle the tedious parts correctly.

Instructions

When creating a new API endpoint:

Identify the framework (Express, Next.js, FastAPI, etc.)
Determine HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE)
Define request/response types
Implement with best practices

Templates

Next.js App Router (TypeScript)

// app/api/[resource]/route.ts
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server';
import { z } from 'zod';

const RequestSchema = z.object({
  // Define your schema
});

export async function GET(request: NextRequest) {
  try {
    const { searchParams } = new URL(request.url);
    // Implementation
    return NextResponse.json({ data }, { status: 200 });
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('[API] Error:', error);
    return NextResponse.json(
      { error: 'Internal server error' },
      { status: 500 }
    );
  }
}
