You Should Use Hono in your Next Project

[@billypurdy738]

A full tutorial would be amazing! Especially digging into the RPC stuff

[@sunsande]

1+ please full tutorial(s!)

[@kyngcytro]

I'd even settle for a repo

[@amirhoseinbagheri1999]

yes CJ, a full tutorial (including Drizzle and the RPC stuff) sounds amazing! please and thank you 👍

[@prometheas]

Really fantastic, concise, info-packed, and well-paced walk-through. Massive props.

[@DrDrero]

I have contributed to get Hono as an adapter for NestJS. Finally it arrived!

[@rujor]

I've been waiting for that for years 🎉. Link to some docs 🤩?

[@thedelanyo]

The good thing about these episodes is how precise and concise they're. Tasty treats, indeed 😅😅

[@dalanxd]

Oh, this is amazing, thank you so much. Please let's go for a full tutorial 🎉❤❤❤

[@justBCheung]

Thank you for this breakdown! Was planning to use hono and drizzle for my startup and this video made me super excited to start using them!

[@fabulousgamer2293]

Heyyy...will the startup repo be open-source???

[@erikslorenz]

Literally moved an app from express to hono today. Wanted to have a simple admin dashboard so being able to use jsx as templating is nice

[@StingSting844]

How do you enhance it if there is a need complex client side state? Web components or react?

[@erikslorenz]

​@@StingSting844 That's the trick. I don't have complex client side state because nearly 0% of apps have complex client side state.

[@AaronLippold]

+1 on the deep dive - this seems like a great pattern

[@jarmanjjj]

Would love a full tutorial, thanks! 🙏

[@andystevenson6336]

Excellent as always. I use Hono already but a deeper dive would be an awesome tutorial.

[@Kevin-hk4fv]

Full tutorial with Svelte would be awesome!

[@ThomasLockney]

+1 on the full tutorial!

[@pranjalagnihotri6072]

Full tutorial will be definitely nice. Extremely fast way of building + shipping API during hackathon xd

[@cristobal14]

Would love to see a dive deep with real examples of this! :D

[@irfanabdnst]

Amazing.. I used express with express-zod-api library before.. It has great dx like trpc and well integrated with openapi.. now I think I can move to hono.. I can’t wait to see a tutorial video for this.. thanks

[@ahmedjaber8595]

Fastify: Why do you guys keep ignoring me?

[@RogerDearly]

The best one in nodejs ecosystem so far.

[@limpep]

They ignore us because it's too complex for 99% of these script kiddies

[@GamerSharp]

Complex !== good ​@@limpep

[@stickyblicky11]

@@limpepAn idiot admires complexity

[@Liam-ey2gs]

At first glance Hono's Zod support seems far better, makes TS dev a lot easier

[@alexnahas2907]

The DX of this stack is really unparalleled at the moment for typescript monorepos. Elysia is great too but hono is just so much more promising in terms of runtime support. I've really enjoyed running it in a service worker for my PWA. The only downside is the openapi support is a bit second class at requires more boilerplate then something like fastify. hopefully they find a way around this

[@MrSonicastra]

I would like to see more of Hono! 😉

[@_techbk]

Wake up lads, a new video by CJ 🔥

[@iuliancarnaru954]

A full tutorial would be amazing!

[@ekekw930]

When is the full tutorial coming out?

[@AbdulRehman-rb6jo]

Full tutorial with NestJS will be awesome.

[@amidaobscura]

Nice video! Started with Hono myself but in a Cloudflare environment. One questions: how would you share the api definition to the frontend client generator if the frontend and backend are 2 different codebases / repos?

[@infitates4500]

I tried hono some time ago and the experience was really positive, the only problem i have with building traditinonal frontend + backend apps is that deployment is (atleast for me) much more trouble than something like nextjs.

[@arvi8843]

Did you manually type the drizzle part of the video or is there some codegen like in kysely where you supply db and it generate typings?

[@syntaxfm]

I wrote that schema myself, but drizzle does support this: orm.drizzle.team/docs/drizzle-kit-pull

[@amined801]

we would love to see the full tutorial, i appreciate your amazing work

[@aberbaCodes]

Hey CJ, why do you prefer text over varchar in your drizzle schemas? Isn't text inefficient?

[@davlewis2011]

definitely onboard for a full tutorial.

[@codefinity]

Any perspectives on Fastify?

[@lazyh0rse]

Good, but how am I gonna integrate this with nextjs? I would remake the whole auth and everything from the ground up in hono, not to mention it will be a separate process from nextjs. At this point using something like python or go is much better choice.

[@radivalente]

Hello, really nice introduction to Hono. Is it possible to view the whole code of this example somewhere? I would much appreciate. Really good work from you as always. Love your tutorials :-)

[@syntaxfm]

I'll be publishing a full tutorial and will make the source code available soon™️

[@radivalente]

@@syntaxfm Thanks for the reply :-) This is pretty good news. I am really looking forward to. Thumbs up and again you are amazing, keep pushing ;-)

[@gryg666]

I'd love to see the repo for the code you show! I've tried to do something similar as you, but I'm missing a few points that I'd like to see how you solved.

[@w3mw]

where can I deploy a next js app with hono in best case and for best price? :D

[@DavidSoards]

would you share the repo for the OpenAPI-Demo 🙏 ?

[@AlameenAdeyemi]

Can u share your custom types like the AppBindings and AppRouteHandler pls, or if someone else has written it

[@syntaxfm]

You can see these types here: gist.github.com/w3cj/232edf0eee11d7be7be01cc3facc134f I will be publishing a full tutorial and code example later this week.

[@nagyszabolcs9451]

This looks great! Thank you for the video! 😁 Could you provide a repository for this project? I'm really interested in the helper types to be able to have handlers types

[@PedroSousaWebDev]

full guide would be amazing

[@tiagoagm]

Very nice tutorial. Do you have a github repo for this?

[@syntaxfm]

Yes! Checkout the full walk-through here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX_LaoOlgp6mi6c And the code here: github.com/w3cj/hono-open-api-starter

[@yoskokleng3658]

What do u think about elysia js?

[@syntaxfm]

Looks great, but it only works with Bun.

[@rtorcato]

where is the code for this demo?

[@sebastiangrede1728]

Full tutorial would be fantastic

[@olehmikadze3653]

fastify?

[@asadmehboob1300]

Please lets go with full stack tutorial

[@Roronoa-Zoro-Wado]

hono or trpc? They both kinda solve the same problem when it comes to end to end type safety

[@thelliez]

Support for proxying?

[@armandsalle8447]

Hono is fire🔥I've never use a better router, the native RPC is awesome too

[@fullstackninjas]

Hono with lucia auth and turso db is good tech can u pls do the full video svelte in frontend.. Tks

[@combatninjaturtle]

Full tutorial please

[@Loige]

Hono is super interesting :) Just curious to know if you have also tried Fastify and if you have compared it with Hono and Express... It might be a good topic for another video, maybe! Anyway, thanks for the always insightful content, CJ! Keep it coming!

[@georgemwaniki]

Please do a full tutorial including database stuff and security

[@codeman99-dev]

Express has typed parameters too? It's a little more verbose, but it is there. I really hope there's more here. I really do *not* love all of the middleware is built in. The more built in there is, the easier it is to accidentally create a walled garden. Express itself moved away from built-in middleware for exactly that reason. OK, the drizzle stuff is really cool. Though to be fair, I still have yet to touch drizzle. So far just developing vicariously through you :)

[@RatulMaharaj]

Hono is cool, would also recommend trying out Elysia!

[@eugene684]

What about Encore?

[@syntaxfm]

Looks interesting, but doesn't have an RPC client (requires code generation), built in data validation is minimal right now and the API / syntax is very different from express. I like how similar hono is to express but with added type safety.

[@salman0ansari]

I have used hono before its such a great package idk why people still use express

[@prashlovessamosa]

CJ please make a full tutorial please.

[@adenaziz3600]

you should also try elysiaJS

[@sureshmutluru4532]

Waiting for a full tutorial

[@elierh442]

Full tutorial please!

[@nixoncode]

Syntax stole my favorite streamer

[@jaymartinez311]

A full tutorial please but not with to many bells 🔔 and whistles. More let’s say vanilla hono with typescript. So we can see what hono can do on its own.

[@Deus-lo-Vuilt]

wow

[@enic-ma]

I would like the full tutorial

[@dawid_dahl]

I’ll stick to Nest, thanks.

[@syntaxfm]

What do you like more about nest?

[@tangsi721]

I thought you were taking about You Should Use Hono in your NextJs Project, i didn't notice it is Next not NextJs until I finished all the video😂😂 But hey, seriously, how do I use hono in my nextjs Project? because if I use hono in nextjs, nextjs server becomes a joke, but if I skip nextjs server, the whole nextjs thing becomes a joke🤣🤣

[@syntaxfm]

Hono has a section in their docs that shows how to add a catch all api handler with hono: hono.dev/docs/getting-started/vercel#_2-hello-world

[@theintjengineer]

Ahem. I like Elysia.

[@paca3107]

you should use go lang in your next project*

[@syntaxfm]

Why go lang?

[@paca3107]

@@syntaxfm very good performance, nice dx and great std library make this language imo perfect for the servers.

The title is misleading

[@yassine-sa]

*that’s a joke

[@LegendaryJx]

Meh, ElysiaJS is better

[@syntaxfm]

What makes it better in your eyes?

[@Maks-fc7kv]

Fastify. Or pure node. There no better choice. Hono seems interesting but fastify much more powerful. Express sucks all its life. Never used this sh*t.

[@syntaxfm]

Fastify has been around longer, but hono is very promising.
