HonoJS: Small, simple, and ultrafast web framework for the Edges

• hono

  41 14,905 9.8 TypeScript

  Web Framework built on Web Standards

  

Please could a fellow HNer who has experience using this explain in simple terms what Hono on a Cloudflare Worker enables that one cannot already do with a vanilla worker?

The docs[0] are not instructive on this point.

• EdgeChains

  12 284 9.3 JavaScript

  EdgeChains.js Typescript/Javascript production-friendly Generative AI. Based on Jsonnet. Works anywhere that Webassembly does. Prompts live declaratively & "outside code in config". Kubernetes & edge friendly. Compatible with OpenAI GPT, Gemini, Llama2, Anthropic, Mistral and others

  

We build a WASM compiler to compile our prompts and chains into webassembly. Honojs was a critical part of it.

  Using Cloudflare Workers to proxy dev.to posts and cache at edge (by brycedorn)

Hono is great! I used it to build a dev blog w/ Cloudflare workers, source is here if anyone's curious: https://github.com/brycedorn/blog

• pingora

  7 19,208 8.7 Rust

  A library for building fast, reliable and evolvable network services.

  

This is also called a framework:

https://github.com/cloudflare/pingora

Pingora is actually fast and small (it does not require a JS engine). Way faster and smaller than Hono.

If you want something to be really fast: do not use RegExes.

• middleware

  1 256 9.4 TypeScript

  monorepo for Hono third-party middleware/helpers/wrappers (by honojs)

  

That's actually something I find a bit awkward, too. Especially, there was no way to re-use the global Hono error handler for all OpenAPI routes. I created an issue[1] with my suggested workaround and was told that that's the way to go. Maybe things are that way because `zod-openapi` was introduced later on. But I believe in the end it doesn't really matter that much as the code is clean and readable. :)

• orval

  20 2,278 9.6 TypeScript

  orval is able to generate client with appropriate type-signatures (TypeScript) from any valid OpenAPI v3 or Swagger v2 specification, either in yaml or json formats. 🍺

In cases where the client needs to stay separate, we have had a good experience with Orval[1] to generate a fully-typed @tanstack/query client from our OpenAPI spec.
