tRPC Protocol
Exact Definition
tRPC is a protocol that allows developers to build end-to-end type-safe APIs without code generation by sharing TypeScript type definitions between the backend server and frontend client.
Architectural Deep Dive
tRPC eliminates API contract drift. By utilizing the TypeScript compiler, tRPC ensures that if a backend query database model changes, the frontend code fails to build. This guarantees that frontend views match backend data properties, eliminating runtime JSON property undefined crashes.
The ERPStack Approach
We build all custom admin and user dashboards with tRPC, ensuring complete type safety from our database schemas directly to our React views.
