tRPC OpenAPI
npm install @lilyrose2798/trpc-openapi---
- Easy REST endpoints for your tRPC procedures.
- Perfect for incremental adoption.
- Supports all OpenAPI versions.
1. Install @lilyrose2798/trpc-openapi.
``bash`npm
npm install @lilyrose2798/trpc-openapiyarn
yarn add @lilyrose2798/trpc-openapi
2. Add OpenApiMeta to your tRPC instance.
`typescript
import { initTRPC } from '@trpc/server';
import { OpenApiMeta } from '@lilyrose2798/trpc-openapi';
const t = initTRPC.meta
`
3. Enable openapi support for a procedure.
`typescriptHello ${input.name}!
export const appRouter = t.router({
sayHello: t.procedure
.meta({ / π / openapi: { method: 'GET', path: '/say-hello' } })
.input(z.object({ name: z.string() }))
.output(z.object({ greeting: z.string() }))
.query(({ input }) => {
return { greeting: };`
});
});
4. Generate an OpenAPI document.
`typescript
import { generateOpenApiDocument } from '@lilyrose2798/trpc-openapi';
import { appRouter } from '../appRouter';
/ π /
export const openApiDocument = generateOpenApiDocument(appRouter, {
title: 'tRPC OpenAPI',
version: '1.0.0',
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
});
`
5. Add an @lilyrose2798/trpc-openapi handler to your app.
We currently support adapters for Express, Next.js, Serverless, Fastify, Nuxt & Node:HTTP.
Fetch, Cloudflare Workers & more soonβ’, PRs are welcomed π.
`typescript
import http from 'http';
import { createOpenApiHttpHandler } from '@lilyrose2798/trpc-openapi';
import { appRouter } from '../appRouter';
const server = http.createServer(createOpenApiHttpHandler({ router: appRouter })); / π /
server.listen(3000);
`
6. Profit π€
`typescript`
// client.ts
const res = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/say-hello?name=Lily', { method: 'GET' });
const body = await res.json(); / { greeting: 'Hello Lily!' } /
Peer dependencies:
- tRPC Server v10 (@trpc/server) must be installed.Zod
- v3 (zod@^3.14.4) must be installed (recommended ^3.20.0).
For a procedure to support OpenAPI the following _must_ be true:
- Both input and output parsers are present AND use Zod validation.input
- Query parsers extend Object<{ [string]: String | Number | BigInt | Date }> or Void.input
- Mutation parsers extend Object<{ [string]: AnyType }> or Void.meta.openapi.method
- is GET, POST, PATCH, PUT or DELETE.meta.openapi.path
- is a string starting with /.meta.openapi.path
- parameters exist in input parser as String | Number | BigInt | Date
Please note:
- Data transformers (such as superjson) are ignored.
- Trailing slashes are ignored.
- Routing is case-insensitive.
Procedures with a GET/DELETE method will accept inputs via URL query parameters. Procedures with a POST/PATCH/PUT method will accept inputs via the request body with a application/json or application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type.
A procedure can accept a set of inputs via URL path parameters. You can add a path parameter to any OpenAPI procedure by using curly brackets around an input name as a path segment in the meta.openapi.path field.
Query & path parameter inputs are always accepted as a string. This library will attempt to coerce your input values to the following primitive types out of the box: number, boolean, bigint and date. If you wish to support others such as object, array etc. please use z.preprocess().
`typescript${input.greeting} ${input.name}!
// Router
export const appRouter = t.router({
sayHello: t.procedure
.meta({ openapi: { method: 'GET', path: '/say-hello/{name}' / π / } })
.input(z.object({ name: z.string() / π /, greeting: z.string() }))
.output(z.object({ greeting: z.string() }))
.query(({ input }) => {
return { greeting: };
});
});
// Client
const res = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/say-hello/Lily?greeting=Hello' / π /, {
method: 'GET',
});
const body = await res.json(); / { greeting: 'Hello Lily!' } /
`
`typescript${input.greeting} ${input.name}!
// Router
export const appRouter = t.router({
sayHello: t.procedure
.meta({ openapi: { method: 'POST', path: '/say-hello/{name}' / π / } })
.input(z.object({ name: z.string() / π /, greeting: z.string() }))
.output(z.object({ greeting: z.string() }))
.mutation(({ input }) => {
return { greeting: };
});
});
// Client
const res = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/say-hello/Lily' / π /, {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ greeting: 'Hello' }),
});
const body = await res.json(); / { greeting: 'Hello Lily!' } /
`
Any custom headers can be specified in the meta.openapi.requestHeaders and meta.openapi.responseHeaders zod object schema, these headers will not be validated. Please consider using Authorization for first-class OpenAPI auth/security support.
Status codes will be 200 by default for any successful requests. In the case of an error, the status code will be derived from the thrown TRPCError or fallback to 500.
You can modify the status code or headers for any response using the responseMeta function.
Please see error status codes here.
To create protected endpoints, add protect: true to the meta.openapi object of each tRPC procedure. By default, you can then authenticate each request with the createContext function using the Authorization header with the Bearer scheme. If you wish to authenticate requests using a different/additional methods (such as custom headers, or cookies) this can be overwritten by specifying securitySchemes object.

const t = initTRPC.context
export const appRouter = t.router({
sayHello: t.procedure
.meta({ openapi: { method: 'GET', path: '/say-hello', protect: true / π / } })
.input(z.void()) // no input expected
.output(z.object({ greeting: z.string() }))
.query(({ input, ctx }) => {
