SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

CoRATES teams need a consistent, scalable approach to building API routes that enforce authentication, validation, and error handling across many endpoints.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized Hono route templates that compose middleware chains (auth, org membership, entitlement, quota, validation).
  • Centralized validation via Zod and shared domain errors for predictable error handling across services.
  • Use Case: rapidly scaffold a new API endpoint with proper security, data validation, and structured error reporting.

Quick Start

To create a new route, copy the ExampleRoutes.js template from references/examples.md and adapt it to your feature, wiring it into the main app with app.route('/api/your-feature', yourFeatureRoutes).

What is the best way to handle errors in Hono API routes?

The best way to handle errors in Hono routes is using centralized validation via Zod and shared domain errors. This method provides predictable error handling and structured reporting across your services.

Does this API route template work with Drizzle ORM and Zod?

Yes, this API route template works with Drizzle ORM and Zod. It enforces the use of Hono, Drizzle ORM, Zod, and context-based middleware patterns to build robust endpoints.

How do I scaffold a new API endpoint quickly with proper security?

To scaffold a new API endpoint quickly, copy the ExampleRoutes template and adapt it to your feature. Wire it into the main app using app.route to apply standard security and validation.

Can I build org-scoped and global endpoints using Hono context-based middleware?

Yes, you can build org-scoped and global endpoints using Hono context-based middleware. The standardized templates compose entitlement and quota middleware to enforce access control across endpoints.
