✨ The magic happens in your browser and your local terminal. Whether you are testing endpoints or generating type-safe React Query integration code, you can jump right in using Reex API Studio or install the npm package reex-cli.

🚀 Quick Start

1. The Web App (Reex API Studio)

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

👉 Open Reex API Studio 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 the Reex CLI.

Step A: Install the CLI Globally

npm install -g reex-cli

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

reex start

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.

Step C: Resetting (Optional) If you ever want to reset your generated files back to their default templates, simply run:

reex reset

✨ 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 JWT, Cookies, or Next-Auth for React and Next.js developers.
