Overview

The Hono Boilerplate is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to develop TypeScript projects using the Hono framework. With its organized structure and comprehensive feature set, this boilerplate is designed to facilitate the creation of scalable and maintainable applications. It not only simplifies the initial setup but also provides robust tools and practices for enhancing your project as it grows.

The boilerplate supports a variety of essential technologies such as Kysely for database management, Bun for testing, and Eslint for maintaining code quality. Whether you're starting a new project or looking to standardize your development process, this boilerplate offers a foundation that is both flexible and user-friendly.

Features

  • Project Structure: The core implementation is structured within the /app directory, allowing for straightforward navigation and organization of your codebase.
  • Tech Stack: Built with Hono, Zod for validation, and Kysely for database queries and migrations, it provides a solid foundation for your project.
  • Migrations Management: Easily manage your database schema with built-in migration support, along with commands to run and rollback migrations.
  • Testing Framework: Integrated testing using Bun, allowing you to ensure code reliability through an organized framework compatible with Jest.
  • Environment Configuration: Customizable environment variables through a .env file to tailor the development settings to your needs.
  • Documentation: Comprehensive endpoint documentation included in the project structure, facilitating API integration and usage.
  • Observable Best Practices: Encourages adaptiveness and learning while maintaining balance between different frameworks and code structuring techniques.
  • Flexibility: The project does not lock you into Hono-specific files, allowing you the freedom to switch frameworks or approaches as needed.

Hono

Hono is an ultrafast web framework designed for edge computing environments. It's lightweight, supports multiple runtimes including Cloudflare Workers, Deno, and Bun, and provides a familiar Express-like API with excellent TypeScript support.

eslint
Eslint

ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.

typescript
Typescript

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.

zod
Zod

Zod is a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library. It allows you to define schemas that can validate data at runtime while providing excellent TypeScript inference, making it perfect for API validation, form validation, and type-safe data handling.
