```

## Methods

- app.**HTTP_METHOD**(path, handler)
- app.**all**(path, handler)
- app.**route**(path)
- app.**use**(path, middleware)

## Routing

### Basic

`app.HTTP_METHOD`

```js
// HTTP Methods
app.get('/', () => new Response('GET /'))
app.post('/', () => new Response('POST /'))

// Wildcard
app.get('/wild/*/card', () => {
  return new Response('GET /wild/*/card')
})
```

`app.all`

```js
// Any HTTP methods
app.all('/hello', () => new Response('ALL Method /hello'))
```

### Named Parameter

```js
app.get('/user/:name', (c) => {
  const name = c.req.params('name')
  ...
})
```

### Regexp

```js
app.get('/post/:date{[0-9]+}/:title{[a-z]+}', (c) => {
  const date = c.req.params('date')
  const title = c.req.params('title')
  ...
```

### Chained Route

```js
app
  .route('/api/book')
    .get(() => {...})
    .post(() => {...})
    .put(() => {...})
```

## Async

```js
app.get('/fetch-url', async () => {
  const response = await fetch('https://example.com/')
  return new Response(`Status is ${response.status}`)
})
```

## Middleware

### Builtin Middleware

```js
const { Hono, Middleware } = require('hono')

...

app.use('*', Middleware.poweredBy())
app.use('*', Middleware.logger())

```

### Custom Middleware

```js
// Custom logger
app.use('*', async (c, next) => {
  console.log(`[${c.req.method}] ${c.req.url}`)
  await next()
})

// Add custom header
app.use('/message/*', async (c, next) => {
  await next()
  await c.res.headers.add('x-message', 'This is middleware!')
})

app.get('/message/hello', () => 'Hello Middleware!')
```

### Custom 404 Response

```js
app.use('*', async (c, next) => {
  await next()
  if (c.res.status === 404) {
    c.res = new Response('Custom 404 Not Found', { status: 404 })
  }
})
```

### Complex Pattern

```js
// Output response time
app.use('*', async (c, next) => {
  await next()
  const responseTime = await c.res.headers.get('X-Response-Time')
  console.log(`X-Response-Time: ${responseTime}`)
})

// Add X-Response-Time header
app.use('*', async (c, next) => {
  const start = Date.now()
  await next()
  const ms = Date.now() - start
  await c.res.headers.append('X-Response-Time', `${ms}ms`)
})
```

## Context

### req

```js

// Get Request object
app.get('/hello', (c) => {
  const userAgent = c.req.headers.get('User-Agent')
  ...
})

// Query params
app.get('/search', (c) => {
  const query = c.req.query('q')
  ...
})

// Captured params
app.get('/entry/:id', (c) => {
  const id = c.req.params('id')
  ...
})
```

### res

```js
// Response object
app.use('/', (c, next) => {
  next()
  c.res.headers.append('X-Debug', 'Debug message')
})
```

### text

```js
app.get('/say', (c) => {
  return c.text('Hello!')
})
```

### json

```js
app.get('/api', (c) => {
  return c.json({ message: 'Hello!' })
})
```
