Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

CLI tool for Reex API Builder - Generate TypeScript types and React Query hooks from OpenAPI specs

Readme

Reex API Builder

Reex API Builder is an intelligent API client built to bridge the gap between backend and frontend teams. It provides a robust, standardized environment for developers to test APIs and manage collections, while being meticulously designed to eliminate frontend integration boilerplate.

✨ The magic happens in your browser. No installation required to start testing APIs. Whether you are a backend developer testing endpoints or a frontend developer generating integration code, you can jump right in using the web app.


🚀 Quick Start

1. The Web App (For Everyone)

You don't need to install anything to start testing APIs, managing collections, or collaborating.

👉 Open Reex API Builder in your browser

2. Code Generation (For Frontend Developers)

If you are a frontend developer and want to instantly transform your API collections into tested REST API code, React Query hooks, and TypeScript interfaces, you can connect the web app to your local project using our CLI.

Step A: Install the CLI Globally

npm install -g reex-api-builder

Step B: Initialize Your Project Navigate to the root directory of your React or Next.js project and run:

reex-build

Once initialized, the CLI will sync your local project files with the Reex UI, allowing you to seamlessly push generated code straight into your codebase.


✨ Core Features

  • Standardized Testing: Test your endpoints (even on localhost) in a clean, intuitive UI right from your browser.
  • Zero-Boilerplate Generation: Instantly transform API collections into tested REST API code, React Query hooks, and TypeScript interfaces.
  • Intelligent Two-Way Sync: Your code and the tool's UI are always aligned. Edit in your IDE or tweak in the tool—changes reflect perfectly on both sides.
  • Smart API Diffing: Never get caught off guard by a backend update. Re-import a collection and instantly see exactly what endpoints, payloads, or types were added or removed before you integrate.
  • Drop-in Authentication: Seamlessly manage user sessions with pre-built hooks for LocalStorage, Cookies, or Next-Auth for React and Next.js developers.
