We use it in multiple production applications and have found compared to the original SDK it: - enables us to develop new applications faster - significantly reduces mean time to detect and resolve issues - helps us avoid footguns with the Airtable SDK, as well as eliminates boilerplate code If you've ever tried to build applications on top of the Airtable API, you know it can be a pain. The default SDK leads to: - apps silently breaking when colleagues edit field definitions in your base - an error-prone and difficult coding experience with no type safety or editor hints - unintuitive API behavior, like not being able to distinguish between a non-existent field and a field with unticked checkboxes - awkward code as each AirtableRecord is a class with many helper methods, so you can't safely stringify them or use Object.entries() etc. All of these problems are solved with airtable-ts. In development, you'll define the expected types for different fields: enabling you to leverage type hints in your code editor. After deployment, if people make breaking changes to your base schema you'll get clear runtime errors that pinpoint the problem (rather than your app silently failing, or worse: doing something dangerous!) We also fix unintuitive API behavior, like not being able to tell whether a checkbox field has been deleted or the values are just unticked.
