✨ tRPC-transformer

A simple tRPC transformer based on superjson with Decimal.js support.

Installation

yarn add trpc-transformer

npm i trpc-transformer

Usage

Add it to your AppRouter:

import transformer from 'trpc-transformer';

const appRouter = trpc.router().transformer(transformer);
// .query(...)

...and to your tRPC client:

import transformer from 'trpc-transformer';

const client = createTRPCClient<AppRouter>({
  // [...]
  transformer,
});

Benefits

Assuming you have appRouter.ts on the server-side:

import * as trpc from '@trpc/server';
import transformer from 'trpc-transformer';
import * as yup from 'yup';
import DB from '../lib/your-persistence-layer';

export const appRouter = trpc
  .router()
  .transformer(transformer)
  .mutation('createUser', {
    input: yup
      .object({
        name: yup.string().min(5).required(),
        birthDate: yup.date().required(),
      })
      .required(),
    async resolve({ input: { name } }) {
      const user: {
        id: number;
        name: string;
        createdAt: Date;
      } = await DB.users.create({ name });
      return user;
    },
  });

export type AppRouter = typeof appRouter;

...then, on the client you'll have your data correctly serialized/deserialized:

import * as trpc from '@trpc/client';
import transformer from 'trpc-transformer';
import type { Router } from '../appRouter.ts';

const client = trpc.createTRPCClient<Router>({ url: '/trpc', transformer });
// ...
const user = await client.mutation('createUser', {
  name: 'John Doe',
  birthDate: new Date('1980-06-25'),
});
console.log(user.createdAt instanceof Date); // true
