To prevent errors between front/back and Stapi, it could be great to generate Typescript snippet for type and interface. It would simplify the developpement experience by limiting errors due to api versionning.

Strapi's CLI allows for creating typescript definitions, but these are practically unusable in a client context.

They include all sorts of fields that are no in responses (e.g
info
and
options
The attributes are not atomic types like
string
, but
StringAttribute
, which throw type errors if you try to render them
Some fields are missing (e.g.
id
) that are included in API responses
