Strong RESTful Contracts in a GraphQL world
summary
Claim: REST can get GraphQL-like guarantees by generating types and hooks from OpenAPI. Uses TypeScript, OpenAPI/Swagger and a restful-react CLI that cogenerates hooks in about 1.53 seconds. Demo hits Dog CEO and Giphy APIs, produces fully typed useRandomGif/useGet hooks, and renders a real GIF after adding the API key. Result is end-to-end type safety for REST in React and a one‑day side project that actually works.
