TRPC use api externally

Hi, i want to use my trpc api externally, as understand it because trpc uses superjson i cant just pass info to the backend doing something like in the screenshot. Would it be better to just have a regular api route not using trpc?

trpc is just a typesafe way of calling a function on the backend

Neto•11/4/22, 11:21 PM

but yes, you can call it externally

if you call a trpc procedure from the client, you can get the http url, payload and all that

NNeto if you call a trpc procedure from the client, you can get the http url, payload ...

aaah yep that sounds like a plan

Neto•11/4/22, 11:24 PM

you should just be careful with context

if you are executing a procedure with a auth middleware per example

yeah, because its coming from a chrome extension it handles all of that stuff for me, as if im authed normally

im talking about as a regular api route

Neto•11/4/22, 11:26 PM

the default trpc implementation of protected middleware relies on next auth

NNeto im talking about as a regular api route

yeah, its just the superjson formatting which im figuring out rlly, auth stuff happens magically with extensions
