Summary of Changes

Hello @arthrod, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

I've undertaken a significant refactor to transition the project's backend infrastructure from Next.js to a more modern and performant stack utilizing Bun and Elysia. This change involves a complete overhaul of how API routes are handled, moving from Next.js's built-in API system to Elysia's routing capabilities, including its tRPC plugin. The goal is to enhance performance and simplify the server-side architecture. This refactor also includes updating various dependencies and adjusting the build process to align with the new tooling.

Highlights

  • Complete Tooling Migration: The project's core tooling has been completely migrated from Next.js to a Bun and Elysia-based backend, leveraging Bun's performance and Elysia's lightweight framework.
  • API Route Rerouting and Consolidation: All existing Next.js API routes have been systematically replaced with new Elysia routes, ensuring that all backend functionalities, including tRPC integration, are now handled by the new framework.
  • Efficient Static HTML Serving: The server now utilizes @elysiajs/html to efficiently serve static HTML content, streamlining the frontend delivery process within the Elysia ecosystem.
  • Updated Build and Development Workflow: Key project scripts in package.json have been updated to use bun commands for development, building, and starting the application, aligning with the new runtime environment.
  • TypeScript Configuration for Elysia HTML: The tsconfig.json has been configured to support Elysia's HTML plugin, enabling JSX syntax for HTML templating directly within TypeScript files.

PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 4 🔵🔵🔵🔵⚪
🧪 No relevant tests
🔒 Security concerns

Sensitive information exposure:
Signed URL handling

  • In files routes, signed S3 URLs are generated and returned directly. Ensure 'ResponseContentDisposition: inline' is intended; for non-public assets, consider time-limited, least-privilege URLs and avoid leaking bucket names in the upload route response (url construction exposes bucket/region). Validate that expiry (3600s) aligns with security requirements.
  • Authorization: Many routes return specific error messages on auth failures; that's fine, but verify consistent 401 handling. Also ensure authenticateUser defensively handles undefined tokens to avoid noisy logs or timing oracle patterns.
  • Input size: The upload route trusts fileSize from client. Consider server-side limits and content-length enforcement on S3 presigned policy to prevent oversized uploads.
⚡ Recommended focus areas for review

Possible Issue

The new context reads the authorization header via req.headers.get('authorization'), which may be undefined if header casing differs or when proxies modify headers; also, token can be undefined and still passed to authenticateUser without early return, leading to extra error logs and potential 500s downstream. Consider normalizing headers and short-circuiting on missing/invalid tokens.

export const createTRPCContext = async (opts: FetchCreateContextFnOptions) => {
  const { req } = opts;
  const token = req.headers.get('authorization')?.split(' ')[1];

  let userId: string | null = null;
  try {
    userId = await authenticateUser(token);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Authentication error:', error);
  }
Type Casting

Several zod transforms cast to Prisma types using any assertions (e.g., status as any, metadata handling). This could mask mismatches with Prisma enums and JSON types; validate against actual Prisma enums and narrow the JSON shapes before persisting.

const updateFileSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string().optional(),
  metadata: z.object({
    fileType: z.string().optional(),
    description: z.string().optional(),
  }).optional(),
  status: z.enum(['pending', 'approved', 'rejected']).optional(),
}).transform(data => ({
  ...data,
  status: data.status as any
}))
Input Validation

The rich-text schemas use ZodType with passthrough, permitting arbitrary properties; this increases risk of overly permissive input being stored as JSON. Consider stricter schemas or sanitization before saving to Prisma JSON fields.

// Schemas reused from Next routes
const plateTextSchema: z.ZodType<any> = z.object({
  text: z.string(),
  bold: z.boolean().optional(),
  italic: z.boolean().optional(),
  underline: z.boolean().optional()
}).passthrough()

const plateElementSchema: z.ZodType<any> = z.lazy(() =>
  z.object({
    type: z.string(),
    children: z.array(z.union([plateElementSchema, plateTextSchema]))
  }).passthrough()
)

const plateDocumentSchema: z.ZodType<any> = z.object({
  type: z.literal('doc'),
  content: z.array(plateElementSchema)
})

Code Review

This pull request is a major refactoring that replaces the Next.js backend with a new stack based on Bun and Elysia. The changes are extensive, removing all Next.js API routes and replacing them with new, modular Elysia routes. The transition also involves updating the tRPC context, package management, and server entry point. My review focuses on improving the new implementation by leveraging Elysia's features for better type safety and maintainability, such as using plugins for authentication, schemas for body/param validation, and simplifying the server setup.

The authentication logic (extracting the header, splitting the token, and calling authenticateUser) is repeated in every route handler. This creates a lot of boilerplate and makes the code harder to maintain.

Elysia's plugin system and hooks are perfect for centralizing this logic. You can create an authentication plugin that derives the userId and adds it to the context for all protected routes.

Here's an example of how you could create an auth plugin:

// src/server/authPlugin.ts
import { Elysia, TRPCError } from 'elysia';
import { authenticateUser } from './auth';

export const auth = new Elysia({ name: 'auth' })
    .derive(async ({ headers }) => {
        const authHeader = headers['authorization'];
        if (!authHeader || !authHeader.startsWith('Bearer ')) {
            throw new TRPCError({ code: 'UNAUTHORIZED', message: 'Authorization header missing or invalid' });
        }
        
        const token = authHeader.split(' ')[1];
        const userId = await authenticateUser(token);
        
        if (!userId) {
            throw new TRPCError({ code: 'UNAUTHORIZED', message: 'Invalid token' });
        }
        
        return { userId };
    });

// Then use it in your routes:
// app.use(auth).get('/api/document/:id', ({ userId, params, set }) => { ... });

By applying this plugin, you can remove the repetitive authentication code from each handler, making your routes much cleaner and more secure. This pattern can be applied to all routes requiring authentication in document.ts, files.ts, and upload.ts.

The manual http.createServer implementation is verbose and contains several as any type casts, which reduces type safety. Elysia is designed to handle server setup more elegantly.

You could simplify this by using app.listen() and integrating socket.io with the server instance it returns. This would make the code more idiomatic to Elysia and improve type safety by removing the need for as any.

For example, you could refactor this to something like:

// ... app setup
const server = app.listen({
  port: Number(process.env.PORT) || 8080,
  hostname: '0.0.0.0'
});

setupWebSocket(server.server!); // Pass the underlying http.Server

console.log(`Server listening on port ${server.port}`);

This approach leverages Elysia's built-in server handling and provides a cleaner integration point for socket.io. Note that app.listen returns a Bun.Server object, and its .server property is the underlying http.Server that socket.io can attach to.

if (!authHeader) { set.status = 401; return { error: 'Authentication required' } }

const userId = await authenticateUser(token)

The use of params as any bypasses Elysia's type inference for route parameters, which undermines type safety. For a route like /api/document/:id/versions/:versionId, Elysia can automatically infer that params is of type { id: string; versionId: string; }.

You should remove the as any cast and rely on the inferred types.

Suggested change
const { id: documentId, versionId } = params as any
const { id: documentId, versionId } = params

Using the non-null assertion operator (!) on process.env.AWS_BUCKET_NAME can lead to a runtime crash if the environment variable is not set. While you have validation in s3.ts, it's safer to avoid direct access with !.

A better approach would be to get the bucket name from a validated configuration object, which you could export from s3.ts after validation. This pattern is also repeated on line 205.

The request body is cast to any, which bypasses type checking and validation. Elysia provides a powerful way to handle this with schemas.

You should define a schema for the request body and include it in your route definition. This will give you automatic validation and full type safety for body.

Here's how you can improve it:

import { Elysia, t } from 'elysia'
// ...

const uploadBodySchema = t.Object({
    fileName: t.String(),
    fileType: t.String(),
    fileSize: t.Number()
});

export const registerUploadRoute = (app: Elysia) =>
  app.post('/api/upload', async ({ body, headers, set }) => {
    // 'body' is now fully typed and validated
    const { fileName, fileType, fileSize } = body;
    // ...
  }, {
    body: uploadBodySchema
  });

This change makes your endpoint more robust and easier to work with.

Properly buffer and forward request bodies

Avoid passing the raw Node request stream as the Request body; it can lead to
hanging requests and incorrect content handling. Instead, buffer the body for
non-GET/HEAD methods and forward the correct content-type and length headers.
Also guard against undefined host headers when constructing the URL.

 const server = createServer(async (req, res) => {
-  const url = `http://${req.headers.host}${req.url}`

Reinstate strict icon validation

The relaxed icon schema allows any string, unintentionally accepting invalid
values such as multi-character strings. Tighten validation to match the previous
behavior by enforcing either a single emoji or a valid URL (or null). This
prevents bad data from being stored and breaking clients.

Remove unsafe status type cast

Casting status with as Prisma.FileWhereInput['status'] can mask invalid values
at runtime and break the Prisma filter. Keep status strongly typed via zod
inference and pass it directly to the where clause. This avoids silent type
mismatches that can cause 500s.

src/server/routes/files.ts [10-21]

 const querySchema = z.object({
-  page: z.string().optional().transform(val => val ? parseInt(val, 10) : 1),
-  limit: z.string().optional().transform(val => val ? parseInt(val, 10) : 10),
+  page: z.string().optional().transform(val => (val ? parseInt(val, 10) : 1)),
+  limit: z.string().optional().transform(val => (val ? parseInt(val, 10) : 10)),
   type: z.string().optional(),
   status: z.enum(['pending', 'approved', 'rejected']).optional(),
   search: z.string().optional()
 }).transform(data => ({
   ...data,
   page: data.page || 1,
-  limit: data.limit || 10,
-  status: data.status as Prisma.FileWhereInput['status']
+  limit: data.limit || 10
 }))
 
+// Later:
+const { page, limit, type, status, search } = querySchema.parse(query)
+const where: Prisma.FileWhereInput = {
+  userId,
+  ...(type && { type }),
+  ...(status && { status }), // use zod-validated status directly
+  ...(search && {
+    OR: [
+      { name: { contains: search, mode: 'insensitive' } },

Handle auth errors explicitly

Wrap the authenticateUser call in a try/catch and handle expired/invalid tokens
explicitly. This prevents uncaught authentication errors from falling into the
generic 500 path, returning correct 401 responses.

26-38: Incorrect TRPC context generic — passing the function type instead of the context shape

initTRPC.context<typeof createTRPCContext>() uses the function type, not the resolved context type. This breaks typings and may cause subtle runtime/compile issues. Use the awaited return type:

-const t = initTRPC.context<typeof createTRPCContext>().create({
+type TRPCContext = Awaited<ReturnType<typeof createTRPCContext>>;
+const t = initTRPC.context<TRPCContext>().create({
   transformer: superjson,

   },
 });

8-23: Harden auth header parsing and expose resHeaders in context

  • Parse the Authorization header defensively; don’t assume split(' ').
  • Expose resHeaders from the fetch adapter so procedures can set cookies/headers (e.g., auth flows).
  • Avoid noisy error logs when there’s simply no token.
-export const createTRPCContext = async (opts: FetchCreateContextFnOptions) => {
-  const { req } = opts;
-  const token = req.headers.get('authorization')?.split(' ')[1];
+export const createTRPCContext = async ({ req, resHeaders }: FetchCreateContextFnOptions) => {
+  const auth = req.headers.get('authorization') ?? '';
+  const token = auth.toLowerCase().startsWith('bearer ')
+    ? auth.slice(7).trim()
+    : undefined;

   let userId: string | null = null;
   try {
     userId = await authenticateUser(token);
   } catch (error) {
-    console.error('Authentication error:', error);
+    // Avoid noisy logs when there's simply no token present

15-17: tSC doesn’t load language service plugins; verify JSX typing or adjust config

  • The "plugins" entry is only used by the TS language service (editor), not by tsc. Since CI uses npx tsc --noEmit, @kitajs/ts-html-plugin likely won’t run there.
  • With "jsx": "react" plus custom factories, ensure JSX types are available without relying on the plugin (e.g., via @elysiajs/html types).
  • Alternatively, consider "jsx": "react-jsx" with an appropriate "jsxImportSource" and removing the custom factories.

Please confirm npx tsc --noEmit passes locally without editor assistance. If not, we should switch approach.

Also applies to: 25-29


24-24: Type resolution note: prefer "types" over "typeRoots" for Bun + Node typings

Using "typeRoots" can unintentionally constrain ambient type discovery to @types only. For Bun-based projects, it’s common to explicitly include Bun and Node types via "types": ["bun-types", "node"] instead of configuring typeRoots. Consider replacing typeRoots with an explicit "types" list if you need Bun typings and predictable ambient types.

src/server/routes/healthcheck.ts (1)

5-13: Healthcheck headers/status: no-store and 503 are more appropriate

  • Add Cache-Control: no-store to avoid intermediary caching.
  • Use 503 (Service Unavailable) on failure; it’s more conventional for health endpoints than 500.
 export const registerHealthcheck = (app: Elysia) =>
   app.get('/api/healthcheck', async ({ set }) => {
+    set.headers['Cache-Control'] = 'no-store'
     try {
       await db.$queryRaw`SELECT 1`
       return { status: 'healthy' }
     } catch (error) {
       console.error('Healthcheck failed:', error)
-      set.status = 500
+      set.status = 503
       return { status: 'unhealthy', error: 'Database connection failed' }
     }
   })
src/server/index.tsx (1)

52-55: Optional: prefer Elysia’s native .listen() and @elysiajs/ws for Bun-first runtime

Given the Bun/Elysia move, you can avoid the custom Node HTTP bridge entirely:

  • Use app.listen(port) (Bun/Node compatible) and Elysia’s WS plugin instead of a custom createServer + adapter.
  • This simplifies server code and removes subtle header/body edge cases.

6-8: Consider adding production build optimizations

The build script could benefit from production optimizations.

-    "build": "bun build src/server/index.ts --outdir dist",

Also consider adding a test script:

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In src/server/index.tsx around lines 36 to 47, fix the handling of headers and
response body streaming between Node and Fetch APIs. Instead of passing
req.headers directly to the Request constructor, normalize headers to properly
handle multi-valued and non-string headers. For the response, avoid buffering
the entire body into memory; instead, pipe the response body stream to res.
Also, handle multiple Set-Cookie headers by forwarding them as an array rather
than collapsing them with Object.fromEntries. Additionally, add the import
"import { Readable } from 'node:stream'" at the top of the file outside the
current change range.

Code Implementation 🛠️

Implementation: Replace the manual Node HTTP to Fetch bridge with Elysia's native server handling by starting the Elysia app directly. Remove the createServer block and websocket setup that depends on the Node server. Add .listen(port) on the Elysia app and log readiness via the returned server info. This ensures exclusive use of Elysia, avoiding custom header normalization and streaming logic.

@arthrod, here's the refactored code using Elysia exclusively:

import { Elysia } from 'elysia'
import cors from '@elysiajs/cors'
import { html, Html } from '@elysiajs/html'
import { trpc } from '@elysiajs/trpc'
import { websocket } from '@elysiajs/websocket'
import { appRouter } from './api/root'
import { createTRPCContext } from './api/trpc'
import { registerHealthcheck } from './routes/healthcheck'
import { registerLogRoute } from './routes/log'
import { registerUploadRoute } from './routes/upload'
import { registerFileRoutes } from './routes/files'
import { registerDocumentRoutes } from './routes/document'

const app = new Elysia()
  .use(cors())
  .use(html())
  .use(websocket())
  .use(trpc(appRouter, { createContext: createTRPCContext }))
  .get('/', () => (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <title>Hello World</title>
      </head>
      <body>
        <h1>Hello World</h1>
      </body>
    </html>
  ))
  // WebSocket endpoint (if needed - adjust based on your websocket.ts implementation)
  .ws('/ws', {
    open(ws) {
      console.log('WebSocket connection opened')
    },
    message(ws, message) {
      console.log('Received:', message)
      ws.send(message)
    },
    close(ws) {
      console.log('WebSocket connection closed')
    }
  })

registerHealthcheck(app)
registerLogRoute(app)
registerUploadRoute(app)
registerFileRoutes(app)
registerDocumentRoutes(app)

const port = process.env.PORT || 8080
app.listen(port)

console.log(`🦊 Elysia is running at http://localhost:${port}`)

export type App = typeof app

This refactored version:

  • Removes the custom Node.js HTTP server wrapper
  • Uses Elysia's built-in .listen() method
  • Adds WebSocket support through Elysia's native WebSocket plugin
  • Maintains all your existing route registrations
  • Provides a cleaner, more idiomatic Elysia implementation

Note: You may need to adjust the WebSocket implementation based on what's in your ./websocket module. If you have specific WebSocket requirements from that module, you can integrate them into the .ws() endpoint configuration.

@arthrod, great question! While Eden provides excellent compile-time type safety for TypeScript clients, runtime validation on the server side is still crucial for several reasons:

  1. Security at the API boundary: The server endpoints can be called by any HTTP client, not just your Eden-typed frontend. Direct API calls, curl requests, or malicious actors can send arbitrary data that bypasses Eden's type checking.

  2. Runtime guarantees: Using body as any tells TypeScript to trust whatever comes in, but at runtime, the actual data might be malformed, missing fields, or contain invalid values. This can cause crashes or security vulnerabilities.

  3. Eden + Elysia best practice: Elysia actually has built-in schema validation using its t (Type) builder that works seamlessly with Eden. When you define schemas in Elysia, Eden automatically infers the types from them, giving you both runtime validation AND type safety:

import { Elysia, t } from 'elysia'

export const registerUploadRoute = (app: Elysia) =>
  app.post('/api/upload', async ({ body, set }) => {
    // body is already validated and typed!
    const { fileName, fileType, fileSize } = body
    // ...
  }, {
    body: t.Object({
      fileName: t.String({ minLength: 1, maxLength: 255 }),
      fileType: t.String(),
      fileSize: t.Number({ minimum: 1, maximum: 100 * 1024 * 1024 })
    })
  })

This way, you get the best of both worlds: Eden clients get automatic type inference, and your server validates all incoming requests regardless of their source.

Ask

@coderabbitai why do we need type validation with elysia and eden?

Answer:

Good question. Even with Elysia and Eden providing typed endpoints and client inference, you still need runtime validation for a few reasons:

  • Client input is untrusted: Types from Eden are compile-time only. A malicious or buggy client can send malformed JSON at runtime. Without runtime validation (e.g., zod), your route could accept invalid shapes or missing fields and crash or corrupt data.
  • Security and constraints enforcement: Things like max file size, allowed MIME types, and filename length are business rules that must be enforced at runtime. TypeScript can’t enforce these at runtime; validation libraries can.
  • Robust error handling: Runtime validation lets you return clear 4xx errors with details instead of 500s, improving DX and debugging.
  • Boundary between systems: Data from external sources (browsers, cURL, other services) needs schema checks at the API boundary to prevent unexpected values from propagating into your DB or S3 calls.
  • Future-proofing: As schemas evolve, runtime validation helps catch incompatible clients and provides safe migrations.

Concretely in your upload route:

  • Using “as any” bypasses safety entirely.
  • Adding zod ensures fileName/fileType/fileSize are present and constrained (e.g., 100 MB cap, allowed MIME patterns), preventing oversized uploads and invalid content types from being persisted or presigned.

Summary: Elysia/Eden give strong TypeScript inference and nice DX, but they don’t replace runtime validation against untrusted input. Keep zod (or similar) at the edge to ensure correctness, security, and predictable errors.

        throw new TRPCError({ code: 'UNAUTHORIZED', message: 'Invalid token' });
    }
    
    return { userId };
});

// Then use it in your routes:
// app.use(auth).get('/api/document/:id', ({ userId, params, set }) => { ... });

That's a great question! The Elysia().derive() pattern you've used in src/server/authPlugin.ts is indeed the idiomatic and recommended way to create reusable authentication logic, effectively acting as your custom authentication "plugin" within Elysia.

While there might not be a generic, off-the-shelf Elysia plugin that perfectly encapsulates your specific authenticateUser logic (as that's typically application-specific, involving your user database or identity provider), your current approach is highly modular and reusable. By defining it as a separate Elysia instance and then .use()ing it, you've achieved the benefits of a plugin:

  • Modularity: Your authentication logic is self-contained.
  • Reusability: You can easily apply this authentication to any route by simply calling .use(auth).
  • Type Safety: Elysia's derive function integrates well with its type inference, ensuring that userId is correctly typed in subsequent handlers.

So, to answer directly, you've correctly implemented a custom plugin for your authentication needs using Elysia's built-in mechanisms. This is generally preferred for application-specific concerns like user authentication over trying to find a generic plugin that might not fit your exact requirements.

@coderabbitai why do we need type validation with elysia and eden?

🌐 Web query:

What is Eden Treaty in Elysia framework and how does it provide type safety?

💡 Result:

Eden Treaty is a component of the Elysia framework that facilitates end-to-end type safety between client and server applications. By leveraging TypeScript's type inference, Eden Treaty ensures that types are consistent across both client and server without the need for code generation. (elysiajs.com)

How Eden Treaty Provides Type Safety:

  1. Type Inference: Eden Treaty utilizes TypeScript's type inference to automatically deduce and enforce types across the client and server. This means that any changes made to the server's types are instantly reflected on the client side, ensuring consistency and reducing the likelihood of type-related errors. (elysiajs.com)

  2. Auto-Completion and Error Handling: By providing full-type support and auto-completion, Eden Treaty enhances the developer experience. It also offers error handling with type narrowing, allowing developers to handle errors more effectively and with greater precision. (elysiajs.com)

  3. Unit Testing: Eden Treaty enables the creation of type-safe unit tests. By interacting directly with the Elysia server instance, developers can write tests that are both type-safe and reflective of the actual server behavior, leading to more reliable and maintainable code. (elysiajs.com)

Example Usage:

To use Eden Treaty, you first export your existing Elysia server type:

// server.ts
import { Elysia, t } from 'elysia';

const app = new Elysia()
  .get('/hi', () => 'Hi Elysia')
  .get('/id/:id', ({ params: { id } }) => id)
  .post('/mirror', ({ body }) => body, {
    body: t.Object({
      id: t.Number(),
      name: t.String(),
    }),
  })
  .listen(3000);

export type App = typeof app;

Then, on the client side, you can consume the Elysia API with full type safety:

// client.ts
import { treaty } from '@elysiajs/eden';
import type { App } from './server';

const app = treaty<App>('localhost:3000');

// Call [GET] at '/'
const { data } = await app.hi.get();

// Call [PUT] at '/nendoroid/:id'
const { data: nendoroid, error } = await app.nendoroid({ id: 1895 }).put({
  name: 'Skadi',
  from: 'Arknights',
});

In this example, Eden Treaty ensures that the client-side code is type-safe and consistent with the server-side definitions, providing a seamless and reliable development experience. (elysiajs.com)

@arthrod Great question! While Eden Treaty provides excellent compile-time type safety, you still need runtime validation for several critical reasons:

Compile-Time vs Runtime

TypeScript types are erased during compilation - they don't exist in the JavaScript that actually runs. Eden Treaty ensures your client and server agree on the contract, but it can't validate actual incoming data at runtime.

Why Runtime Validation is Essential

  1. External Data Sources: HTTP requests, form submissions, and API calls come from outside your TypeScript ecosystem. Without runtime validation, malicious or malformed data could crash your server or cause security vulnerabilities.
// Without runtime validation, this could accept ANY data
app.post('/user', ({ body }) => {
  // body could be null, a string, or contain SQL injection!
  db.createUser(body); // 💥 Dangerous!
})

// With Elysia's validation
app.post('/user', ({ body }) => {
  // Elysia ensures body matches schema at runtime
  db.createUser(body); // ✅ Safe - validated data
}, {
  body: t.Object({
    name: t.String(),
    email: t.Email(), // Also validates email format!
    age: t.Number({ min: 0, max: 120 })
  })
})
  1. Data Transformation: Elysia's validators also coerce and transform data. For example, query parameters come as strings but can be automatically converted to numbers:
// URL: /items?page=2&limit=10
app.get('/items', ({ query }) => {
  // Without validation: query.page is "2" (string)
  // With validation: query.page is 2 (number)
  return getItems(query.page, query.limit);
}, {
  query: t.Object({
    page: t.Numeric(), // Converts string to number
    limit: t.Numeric()
  })
})
  1. Error Handling: Runtime validation provides meaningful error messages when data doesn't match expectations:
// Elysia automatically returns 400 with detailed validation errors
// { "error": "Invalid body.email: Expected email format" }
  1. OpenAPI/Swagger Generation: Elysia uses the validation schemas to automatically generate API documentation - something TypeScript types alone can't do.

The Best of Both Worlds

With Elysia + Eden, you get:

  • Runtime validation (Elysia) - Protects your server from invalid data
  • Type inference (Eden) - Client knows exactly what to send/receive
  • Single source of truth - Define validation once, get types everywhere

This combination eliminates the need for separate type definitions, manual validation code, or code generation tools while ensuring both compile-time and runtime safety.
