Hono
Hono[炎] - means flame🔥 in Japanese - is small, simple, and ultrafast web framework for Service Worker based serverless applications like Cloudflare Workers and Fastly Compute@Edge.
import { Hono } from 'hono'
const app = new Hono()
app.get('/', (c) => c.text('Hono!!'))
app.fire()
Features
- Ultrafast - the router does not use linear loops.
- Zero-dependencies - using only Web standard API.
- Middleware - builtin middleware and your own middleware.
- Optimized - for Cloudflare Workers.
Benchmark
Hono is fastest compared to other routers for Cloudflare Workers.
hono x 779,197 ops/sec ±6.55% (78 runs sampled)

✨ Done in 58.29s.
Hono in 1 minute
A demonstration to create an application of Cloudflare Workers with Hono.
Now, the named path parameter has types.
Install
You can install Hono from the npm registry.
$ yarn add hono
or
$ npm install hono
Methods
An instance of Hono
has these methods.
- app.HTTP_METHOD(path, handler)
- app.all(path, handler)
- app.route(path)
- app.use(path, middleware)
- app.fire()
- app.fetch(request, env, event)
Routing
Basic
// HTTP Methods
app.get('/', (c) => c.text('GET /'))
app.post('/', (c) => c.text('POST /'))
// Wildcard
app.get('/wild/*/card', (c) => {
return c.text('GET /wild/*/card')
})
// Any HTTP methods
app.all('/hello', (c) => c.text('Any Method /hello'))
Named Parameter
app.get('/user/:name', (c) => {
const name = c.req.param('name')
...
})
Regexp
app.get('/post/:date{[0-9]+}/:title{[a-z]+}', (c) => {
const date = c.req.param('date')
const title = c.req.param('title')
...
})
Nested route
const book = app.route('/book')
book.get('/', (c) => c.text('List Books')) // GET /book
book.get('/:id', (c) => {
// GET /book/:id
const id = c.req.param('id')
return c.text('Get Book: ' + id)
})
book.post('/', (c) => c.text('Create Book')) // POST /book
no strict
If strict
is set false
, /hello
and/hello/
are treated the same. Default is true
.
const app = new Hono({ strict: false })
app.get('/hello', (c) => c.text('/hello or /hello/'))
async/await
app.get('/fetch-url', async (c) => {
const response = await fetch('https://example.com/')
return c.text(`Status is ${response.status}`)
})
Middleware
Builtin Middleware
import { Hono } from 'hono'
import { poweredBy } from 'hono/powered-by'
import { logger } from 'hono/logger'
import { basicAuth } from 'hono/basicAuth'
const app = new Hono()
app.use('*', poweredBy())
app.use('*', logger())
app.use(
'/auth/*',
basicAuth({
username: 'hono',
password: 'acoolproject',
})
)
Available builtin middleware are listed on src/middleware.
Custom Middleware
You can write your own middleware.
// Custom logger
app.use('*', async (c, next) => {
console.log(`[${c.req.method}] ${c.req.url}`)
await next()
})
// Add a custom header
app.use('/message/*', async (c, next) => {
await next()
await c.header('x-message', 'This is middleware!')
})
app.get('/message/hello', (c) => c.text('Hello Middleware!'))
Context
To handle Request and Reponse, you can use Context object.
c.req
// Get Request object
app.get('/hello', (c) => {
const userAgent = c.req.headers.get('User-Agent')
...
})
// Shortcut to get a header value
app.get('/shortcut', (c) => {
const userAgent = c.req.header('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.param('id')
...
})
Shortcuts for Response
app.get('/welcome', (c) => {
c.header('X-Message', 'Hello!')
c.header('Content-Type', 'text/plain')
c.status(201)
return c.body('Thank you for comming')
})
The Response is the same as below.
new Response('Thank you for comming', {
status: 201,
statusText: 'Created',
headers: {
'X-Message': 'Hello',
'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
'Content-Length': '22',
},
})
c.text()
Render texts as Content-Type:text/plain
.
app.get('/say', (c) => {
return c.text('Hello!')
})
c.json()
Render JSON as Content-Type:application/json
.
app.get('/api', (c) => {
return c.json({ message: 'Hello!' })
})
c.html()
Render HTML as Content-Type:text/html
.
app.get('/', (c) => {
return c.html('<h1>Hello! Hono!</h1>')
})
c.notFound()
Return the default 404 Not Found
Response.
app.get('/notfound', (c) => {
return c.notFound()
})
c.redirect()
Redirect, default status code is 302
.
app.get('/redirect', (c) => c.redirect('/'))
app.get('/redirect-permanently', (c) => c.redirect('/', 301))
c.res
// Response object
app.use('/', (c, next) => {
next()
c.res.headers.append('X-Debug', 'Debug message')
})
c.event
// FetchEvent object
app.use('*', async (c, next) => {
c.event.waitUntil(
...
)
await next()
})
c.env
// Environment object for Cloudflare Workers
app.get('*', async c => {
const counter = c.env.COUNTER
...
})
Not Found
You can write the default 404 Not Found
Response.
app.notFound = (c) => {
return c.text('This is default 404 Not Found', 404)
}
Error handling
You can handle errors in your way.
app.onError = (err, c) => {
return c.text(`This is error message: ${err.mssage}`, 500)
}
fire
app.fire()
do this.
addEventListener('fetch', (event) => {
event.respondWith(this.handleEvent(event))
})
fetch
app.fetch()
is for Cloudflare Module Worker syntax.
export default {
fetch(request: Request, env: Env, event: FetchEvent) {
return app.fetch(request, env, event)
},
}
/*
or just do:
export default app
*/
Cloudflare Workers with Hono
Using wrangler
or miniflare
, you can develop the application locally and publish it with few commands.
Let's write your first code for Cloudflare Workers with Hono.
1. Install Wrangler
Install Cloudflare Command Line "Wrangler".
$ npm i @cloudflare/wrangler -g
2. npm init
Make a npm skeleton directory.
mkdir hono-example
cd hono-example
npm init -y
3. wrangler init
Init as a wrangler project.
$ wrangler init
4. npm install hono
Install hono
from the npm registry.
$ npm i hono
5. Write your app
Only 4 lines!!
import { Hono } from 'hono'
const app = new Hono()
app.get('/', (c) => c.text('Hello! Hono!'))
app.fire()
6. Run
Run the development server locally. Then, access http://127.0.0.1:8787/
in your Web browser.
$ wrangler dev
7. Publish
Deploy to Cloudflare. That's all!
$ wrangler publish
Starter template
You can start making your application of Cloudflare Workers with the starter template. It is a realy minimal using TypeScript, esbuild, and Miniflare.
To generate a project skelton, run this command.
$ wrangler generate my-app https://github.com/yusukebe/hono-minimal
