Bell is a solution for storing data about API endpoints that covers basic use cases for calling and testing APIs. Bell files describe your API endpoints and are stored in the same repository as your app's source code. They can be compiled into typescript types and/or referenced and called through React hooks. Bell also has a VSCode extension for testing APIs without ever leaving your favorite editor.
