Client

Byte provides a client named bit with route type reflection.

To use the client, you need to export the app type.

server.ts

import { Byte, send, parse } from '@bit-js/byte';

// Chaining is required for type inference
const app = new Byte()
    .get('/', send.body('Hi'))
    .post('/echo', async (ctx) => ctx.json(await ctx.req.json()));

export type TApp = typeof app;

Then import the type and use it in client-side code:

client.ts

import type { TApp } from './server';
import { bit } from '@bit-js/byte';

// Base URL to create requests
const client = bit<TApp>('http://localhost:3000');

// Routes get automatic type inference
const msg = await client.get('/');
await msg.text(); // 'Hi'

const echo = await client.post('/echo', {
    // Body get automatically serialized
    body: { hi: 'there' }
});
await echo.json(); // { hi: 'there' }

Testing

You can create a similar client for server-side testing:

server.ts

const client = app.client();

The difference is that the client side bundle will not include the whole server-side app.
