Structuring with tRPC Routers

Learn to organize your API into logical modules using tRPC routers and merge them effectively.

Organize Your API with Routers

As your application grows, your API can become messy. tRPC routers help you organize your API into logical, reusable modules.

Think of a router as a folder for your API endpoints. Instead of one giant file, you group related operations together.

  • Modularity: Break down complex APIs.
  • Readability: Easier to understand specific parts.
  • Scalability: Simplifies adding new features.

Defining Your First Router

In tRPC, you create a router using trpc.router(). This function comes from your tRPC instance, which we assume is set up.

A router acts as a container for your API procedures (queries and mutations). Each router can have its own set of procedures.

Here's how you might define a simple "user" router:

const userRouter = t.router({
  // Procedures will go here
});
