SvelteKit ❤️ Hono

An example repository for using Hono as primary API driver in a SvelteKit app. With OpenAPI, Swagger and Hono RPC

Created with sv.

Changes to vanilla SvelteKit app:

• Replaced SvelteKits API-routes and (experimental) remote functions with Hono and Hono RPC.
• Added endpoint schemas and validation with hono-openapi and validbot.
• Swagger UI from @hono/swagger.

Added dependencies:

• Hono
• @hono/standard-validator
• @hono/swagger-ui
• hono-openapi
• valibot
• @valibot/to-json-schema

Benefits

• API routes not bound by folder-structure requirements
• RPC endpoints have full control over HTTP boundary, caching and response headers
• Entire API is movable to different project since not bound up in SvelteKit conventions
• I like API documentation and the interactive testability it brings

Developing

Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with npm install (or pnpm install or yarn), start a development server:

npm run dev

# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
npm run dev -- --open

Building

To create a production version of your app:

npm run build

You can preview the production build with npm run preview.

To deploy your app, you may need to install an adapter for your target environment.
