Silgi — Type-safe RPC for TypeScript

Use Silgi with Next.js App Router — API routes with full type safety and protocol support.

Silgi integrates with Next.js App Router via catch-all API routes. Full content negotiation (JSON, MessagePack, devalue) works out of the box.

Setup

Create a catch-all API route:

// app/api/rpc/[...path]/route.ts
import {  } from 'silgi/nextjs'
import {  } from '~/server/rpc'

const  = (, {
  : '/api/rpc',
  : () => ({
    : getDB(),
    : .(.),
  }),
})

export {  as ,  as  }

Procedures are accessible at:

POST /api/rpc/users/list
POST /api/rpc/users/create
GET  /api/rpc/health

Server Actions

For server-first React apps, use React Server Actions instead of API routes:

// app/actions.ts
'use server'
import {  } from 'silgi/react'

export const  = (appRouter.users.list)

Edge Runtime

The handler uses standard Fetch API — works on both Node.js and Edge runtime:

export const  = 'edge'

Silgi compiles the router once at module load time. Next.js caches module imports across requests, so the compilation cost is paid only once per cold start.
