Powerful REST in a GraphQL world
summary
A startup workflow replaces fragile REST guesses with TypeScript, Monaco/VSCode-in-the-browser docs and a CLI that codegens real React hooks from OpenAPI. The team builds "RESTful React" (useGet/usePost hooks), demos fetching from Dog CEO and Giphy, and achieves end-to-end type safety so wrong JSON shapes fail at compile time. Tooling includes TypeScript generics, a CLI importer, and Monaco editor; outcome: generated APIs work in practice and prevent whole classes of runtime errors. OpenAPI → generated React hooks
