Appearance

Utilities ​

APIful not only allows you to build powerful clients, it also provides a set of utilities that you can use in your server-side code. Use them in the web framework of your choice, such as Hono, Elysia, or Nitro, to make your life easier.

HTTP Status Codes ​

List of all common HTTP status codes as individually exported constants.

HTTP Status Reason Phrases ​

List of all common HTTP status reason phrases as individually exported constants.

JSON to Type Definition ​

Create TypeScript interfaces from JSON data using the jsonToTypeDefinition function. Useful for defining API response types or working with dynamic JSON structures.

Generic Schema & Validation ​

Create and validate JSON schemas using the jsonSchema and validateTypes functions. They stand on their own – the API client never validates a response against a schema for you.

Examples ​

Nitro ​

For the Nitro server toolkit, use HTTP status codes and phrases in your event handlers like this:

ts
import * as HttpStatusCodes from 'apiful/http-status-codes'
import * as HttpStatusPhrases from 'apiful/http-status-phrases'

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  throw createError({
    statusCode: HttpStatusCodes.NOT_FOUND,
    statusMessage: HttpStatusPhrases.NOT_FOUND,
  })
})

Hono ​

For web frameworks like Hono, use the status codes and phrases in your route handlers like this:

ts
import * as HttpStatusCodes from 'apiful/http-status-codes'
import * as HttpStatusPhrases from 'apiful/http-status-phrases'

app.get('/not-found', (c) => {
  c.status(HttpStatusCodes.NOT_FOUND)
  c.json({ message: HttpStatusPhrases.NOT_FOUND })
})
