# Usage
## Recommended file structure
Recommended but not enforced file structure. This is what you get when starting from [the examples](../main/example-apps.md).
```graphql
.
server
api
trpc
[trpc].ts # <-- tRPC HTTP handler
[..]
trpc
routers
index.ts # <-- main app router
todo.ts # <-- sub routers
[..]
context.ts # <-- create app context
trpc.ts # <-- procedure helpers
plugins
client.ts # <-- tRPC Client as a plugin
[..]
```
## 1. Create a tRPC router
Initialize your tRPC backend using the `initTRPC` function and create your first router.
::code-group
```ts [server/trpc/trpc.ts]
import { TRPCError, initTRPC } from '@trpc/server'
// Avoid exporting the entire t-object since it's not very
// descriptive and can be confusing to newcomers used to t
// meaning translation in i18n libraries.
const t = initTRPC.create()
// Base router and procedure helpers
export const router = t.router
export const publicProcedure = t.procedure
```
```ts [server/trpc/routers/index.ts]
import { z } from 'zod'
import { publicProcedure, router } from '..'
export const appRouter = router({
hello: publicProcedure
.input(
z.object({
text: z.string().nullish(),
}),
)
.query(({ input }) => {
return {
greeting: `hello ${input?.text ?? 'world'}`,
}
}),
})
// export type definition of API
export type AppRouter = typeof appRouter
```
```ts [server/api/trpc/[trpc].ts]
import { createNuxtApiHandler } from 'trpc-nuxt'
import { appRouter } from '../../trpc/routers'
// export API handler
export default createNuxtApiHandler({
router: appRouter,
createContext: () => ({}),
})
```
::
::alert{type=info}
If you need to split your router into several subrouters, you can implement them in the `server/trpc/routers` directory and import and [merge them](https://trpc.io/docs/v10/merging-routers) to a single root `appRouter`.
::
## 2. Create tRPC client plugin
Create a set of strongly-typed composables using your API's type signature.
```ts [plugins/client.ts]
import { httpBatchLink } from '@trpc/client'
import { createTRPCNuxtProxyClient } from 'trpc-nuxt/client'
import type { AppRouter } from '~~/server/trpc/routers'
export default defineNuxtPlugin(() => {
const client = createTRPCNuxtProxyClient<AppRouter>({
links: [
httpBatchLink({
/**
* If you want to use SSR, you need to use the server's full URL
* @link https://trpc.io/docs/ssr
**/
url: 'http://localhost:3000/api/trpc',
}),
],
})
return {
provide: {
client,
},
}
})
```
## 3. Make API requests
```vue [pages/index.vue]
<script setup lang="ts">
const { $client } = useNuxtApp()
// query and mutate uses useAsyncData under the hood
const { data, pending, error } = await $client.hello.query({ text: 'client' })
</script>
<template>
<div v-if="pending">
Loading...
</div>
<div v-else-if="error?.data?.code">
Error: {{ error.data.code }}
</div>
<div v-else>
<p>{{ hello.data?.greeting }}</p>
</div>
</template>
```
