## What it is
restful-react is a React library providing declarative components and hooks for interacting with RESTful APIs, including code generation of typed components from OpenAPI/Swagger specs. It is now deprecated in favor of openapi-codegen which generates react-query components.

## Use cases
- fetch rest apis in react with hooks
- generate typescript react components from openapi spec
- declarative rest client for react
- keep frontend types in sync with swagger spec
- poll rest endpoints in react
- handle loading and error states for api calls

## When to choose
- you maintain an existing codebase already using restful-react
- you need typed react hooks generated from OpenAPI 2/3 specs

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the library is deprecated
- you prefer react-query based code generation (use openapi-codegen instead)
- you need a non-React framework

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: http-client, data-generation
- domain: web-development, frontend, apis, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: react-hooks, openapi-codegen, swagger, typescript, rest-client, deprecated, code-generation, nodejs, web-server
