What problem does it solve?
Hono API development across multiple runtimes can be error-prone without clear patterns for routing, validation, middleware, and RPC type sharing. This skill provides production-ready patterns and guidance to create type-safe APIs across Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, and Node.js.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Routing and middleware chains with Hono that are type-safe across runtimes.
- Validation patterns using Zod/Valibot (and other validators) with per-handler inference.
- RPC (type-safe client/server) with exported route types for IDE-friendly integration.
- Streaming endpoints (SSE) and WebSocket support, plus security middlewares (CSRF, secure headers).
- Examples and templates for common use cases like API routes, sub-apps, and error handling.
Quick Start
Install dependencies and start building a Hono-based API. Use the provided patterns to export a route, create an RPC client type, and implement a minimal protected endpoint.
