a wonderful idea for simplicity from midway hooks

[scil]

midway "Using React Hooks to develop the back-end ". Like blitz, it uses http request to replace back-end functions which need context info like req, res.

blitz use useQuery useMutation to make context available, while midway uses a more simple method which provide context not by functions arguments , but by a react-hook-like approach.

Pros: more simple and user-friendly; no zod like tools to ensure type safety, plain ts is enouth.

Thanks @scil! That's an interesting project I haven't seen before.

Not sure if we can use that approach though. Zod is needed primary for runtime validation. Types are nice secondary bonus.

useContext on the backend is definitely cool, but it makes things more complex if you want to call that function directly from blitz console or some other backend code. Whereas now if you need ctx, you explicitly pass it via the second argument. If that second argument is replaced with useContext, how do you pass context?

Thanks for your opinon. Let me spend more time contemplating it.
