Provide client API SDK for Java & Typescript

[anime777]

After reading the payload compare document compare directus , I found payloadcms looks easier to maintance compared to directus , because it control data permissions & relations via code instead of admin UI .
Do you condisider to add client SDKs to your roadmap ? eg. client API SDK for Java & Typescript ?

+1 for SDK, preferably same syntax as local API.

I'm not very experienced with graphQL yet through, and see more and more projects move to it (ofter without SDK's).

Can graphQL the potential improve DX comparable to a SDK?

I've started actively developing one for javascript since it seems there isn't an official sdk.
I'd love some feedback: https://www.npmjs.com/package/payload-client

Once I get this base package fleshed out I'll also be working on a vue3 wrapper to allow a more reactive interface and perhaps data persistence with pinia.

If you guys like the direction and/or need any changes feel free to open issues on the github i'll be super responsive.

Just to note, it didn't make sense to emulate the local api since that has lots of options and a syntax that mostly makes sense on server. I've developed the rest sdk to be easily enumerated into service objects.

const User = client.service('users');
User.find()
User.get('012345678');
//etc...

Awesome that you started working on this!

We've create our own kind of "package" inside our monorepo. Maybe it can be useful, don't know, but here it is anyway: https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-qbbbn7?file=api%2Findex.ts
