Hono Development

Use the hono CLI for efficient development. View all commands with hono --help.

Core Commands

• hono docs [path] - Browse Hono documentation
• hono search <query> - Search documentation
• hono request [file] - Test app requests without starting a server

Quick Examples

# Search for topics
hono search middleware
hono search "getting started"

# View documentation
hono docs /docs/api/context
hono docs /docs/guides/middleware

# Test your app
hono request -P /api/users src/index.ts
hono request -P /api/users -X POST -d '{"name":"Alice"}' src/index.ts

Workflow

1. Search documentation: hono search <query>
2. Read relevant docs: hono docs [path]
3. Test implementation: hono request [file]

Guidelines

• Always use the hono CLI commands for documentation lookup instead of web searches
• Prefer hono request for testing endpoints during development
• Search documentation first before implementing features
• Follow the workflow: search → read docs → test implementation
