tRPC Playground

Playground for running tRPC queries in the browser. Backed by CodeMirror and the TypeScript language server to provide you with the same fully-typed experience.

trpc-playground-preview-example.mp4

Installation

npm install trpc-playground

Handlers

tRPC Playground provides handlers that serve the playground HTML page and handle playground-related requests such as getting types from the router.

Next.js

Next.js App Router

// src/app/api/trpc-playground/route.ts
import { appRouter } from '@/server'
import { fetchHandler } from 'trpc-playground/handlers/fetch'

const setupHandler = fetchHandler({
  router: appRouter,
  trpcApiEndpoint: '/api/trpc',
  playgroundEndpoint: '/api/trpc-playground',
})

const handler = async (req: Request) => {
  const playgroundHandler = await setupHandler
  return await playgroundHandler(req)
}

export { handler as GET, handler as POST }

Next.js Pages Router

Example

// pages/api/trpc-playground.ts
import { NextApiHandler } from 'next'
import { appRouter } from 'server/routers/_app'
import { nextHandler } from 'trpc-playground/handlers/next'

const setupHandler = nextHandler({
  router: appRouter,
  // tRPC api path, pages/api/trpc/[trpc].ts in this case
  trpcApiEndpoint: '/api/trpc',
  playgroundEndpoint: '/api/trpc-playground',
  // uncomment this if you're using superjson
  // request: {
  //   superjson: true,
  // },
})

const handler: NextApiHandler = async (req, res) => {
  const playgroundHandler = await setupHandler
  await playgroundHandler(req, res)
}

export default handler
Express

Example

// server.ts
import * as trpcExpress from '@trpc/server/adapters/express'
import express from 'express'
import { expressHandler } from 'trpc-playground/handlers/express'
import { appRouter } from './router'

const runApp = async () => {
  const app = express()

  const trpcApiEndpoint = '/api/trpc'
  const playgroundEndpoint = '/api/trpc-playground'

  app.use(
    trpcApiEndpoint,
    trpcExpress.createExpressMiddleware({
      router: appRouter,
    }),
  )

  app.use(
    playgroundEndpoint,
    await expressHandler({
      trpcApiEndpoint,
      playgroundEndpoint,
      router: appRouter,
      // uncomment this if you're using superjson
      // request: {
      //   superjson: true,
      // },
    }),
  )

  app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log('listening at http://localhost:3000')
  })
}

runApp()
trpc-nuxt

trpc-nuxt

// server/api/trpc-playground.ts

import { h3Handler } from 'trpc-playground/handlers/h3'
import { appRouter } from '~~/server/trpc/routers'

export default defineLazyEventHandler(async () => {
  const setupHandler = await h3Handler({
    router: appRouter,
    trpcApiEndpoint: '/api/trpc',
    playgroundEndpoint: '/api/trpc-playground',
    // uncomment this if you're using superjson
    // request: {
    //   superjson: true,
    // },
  })

  return defineEventHandler(setupHandler)
})

tRPC Playground also supports Fastify, Fetch, h3, Koa, and AWS Lambda. You can import them using this format: trpc-playground/handlers/{framework}.

Settings

For all configuration options, see the API docs.

Writing Queries

In the playground, writing queries is meant to mimic the experience of writing queries in a tRPC client as closely as possible. You can even write TS and your code will be transformed to JS before it is run.

tRPC Playground queries follow the syntax of the proxy vanilla client:

await trpc.path.query(input)

// example
await trpc.getUser.query({ id: 4 })

For mutations:

await trpc.path.mutate(input)

// example
await trpc.createUser.mutate({ name: 'Bob' })

When using the Run all queries button in the center of the editor, you can write any code and it will just work:

const name: string = 'John'

// run queries one at a time
await trpc.getGreeting.query({ name })
await trpc.getFarewell.query({ name })

// batch queries
await Promise.all([
  trpc.getGreeting.query({ name }),
  trpc.getFarewell.query({ name }),
])

Queries can be run individually by pressing on the button to the left of them or by pressing Alt + Q when your cursor in the editor is on the query. Note that any variables you pass to the query will not be defined when running queries individually.

You can use the return value of one query and pass it to the next:

const { sum } = await trpc.addNums.query({ a: 1, b: 2 })
await trpc.subtractNums.query({ a: sum, b: -7 })

Types

tRPC Playground resolves the types for your queries based on the input schema in your router. The default resolver is zod-to-ts, which should work out of the box for the most part. However, there are a few special cases that it may not handle correctly such as z.lazy() and z.nativeEnum(), so read those docs for more information on how to handle these cases if you have any issues with them.
