To implement oRPC routers in a Hono backend, create router files under apps/server/src/routers and define procedures using publicProcedure and protectedProcedure. You then register these routers in the central appRouter for centralized API orchestration.

Mapping contract definitions to business logic in oRPC involves wiring server-side routers directly to the contracts. This separates API contracts from handler logic, allowing you to enforce access control and dependency injection while keeping handlers thin and testable.

Yes, you can enforce authentication and access control in oRPC procedures by utilizing protectedProcedure. This ensures endpoints are authenticated, while publicProcedure remains open for unauthenticated access within your Hono-based Node.js server.

The best way to organize oRPC routers in a Node.js backend is through centralized router registration. By creating dedicated router files under apps/server/src/routers and aggregating them into a central appRouter, you achieve robust API orchestration and clear separation of concerns.

Using dependency injection in oRPC server handlers is achieved by accessing context within your procedures. This pattern allows handlers to remain thin and highly testable by delegating business logic to injected dependencies rather than hardcoding them.
