SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers build and maintain Hono backend APIs by enforcing clear separation between the transport layer (Hono routes, middleware) and core business logic, ensuring maintainability and testability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Route Management: Define and organize API routes effectively within the Hono framework.
  • Middleware Integration: Implement cross-cutting concerns like authentication, logging, and request validation using Hono's middleware system.
  • Layered Architecture: Maintain business logic in independent packages, free from Hono-specific context.
  • Use Case: When developing a new API endpoint in the apps/api directory, use this Skill to ensure the route handler is thin, delegates to a package function, and handles request parsing and response shaping correctly.

Quick Start

Use the hono-api skill to implement a new GET endpoint for fetching user profiles in apps/api/src/routes/users.ts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I separate Hono routes from business logic in a TypeScript monorepo?

To separate Hono routes from business logic, keep route handlers thin by delegating to independent packages, ensuring core logic remains transport-agnostic while the API layer handles HTTP context.

How does middleware integration work when building Hono APIs?

Hono API middleware integration handles cross-cutting concerns like authentication, logging, and request validation in the transport layer, keeping business logic packages free from Hono-specific context.

What is the best way to organize API routes in a Hono backend?

Organizing API routes in a Hono backend involves maintaining a strict layer separation, placing HTTP semantics in the API layer while delegating execution to transport-agnostic package functions.

Can I use Hono with runtime adapters in a monorepo structure?

Yes, Hono works with runtime adapters in a monorepo by managing them within the API transport layer, ensuring business logic packages remain independent and transport-agnostic.

Why should my Hono route handler delegate to a package function?

Hono route handlers should delegate to package functions to enforce clean transport boundaries, making business logic maintainable and testable without depending on Hono request context.

Does Hono require request validation in the route module?

Request validation in Hono belongs in the transport layer, utilizing middleware to parse and validate inputs before the API layer delegates execution to independent business logic packages.
