Rest.ts 
Type safety across REST APIs in TypeScript!
What is this?
Rest.ts lets you write API contracts that tie together consumers and producers within the type system. Out of the box, Rest.ts gives you the following features:
- Auto-completion / intelliSense
- Easy code navigation
*It would be possible to generate swagger-style API docs from rest.ts definitions, but this feature has not been created yet. Contributors welcome!
