@hono/vite-dev-server

@hono/vite-dev-server is a Vite Plugin that provides a custom dev-server for fetch-based web applications like those using Hono. You can develop your application with Vite. It's fast.

Hono applications run on.
Fast by Vite.
HMR
Plugins are available, e.g., Cloudflare Pages.
Also runs on Bun.

Supported applications

You can run any application on @hono/vite-dev-server that uses fetch and is built with Web Standard APIs. The minimal application is the following.

export default {
  fetch(_request: Request) {
    return new Response('Hello Vite!')
  },
}

This code can also run on Cloudflare Workers or Bun. And if you change the entry point, you can run on Deno, Vercel, Lagon, and other platforms.

Hono is designed for fetch-based applications like this.

import { Hono } from 'hono'

const app = new Hono()

app.get('/', (c) => c.text('Hello Vite!'))

export default app

So, any Hono application will run on @hono/vite-dev-server.

Usage

Installation

You can install vite and @hono/vite-dev-server via npm.

npm i -D vite @hono/vite-dev-server

Or you can install them with Bun.

bun add vite @hono/vite-dev-server

Settings

Add "type": "module" to your package.json. Then, create vite.config.ts and edit it.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import devServer from '@hono/vite-dev-server'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    devServer({
      entry: 'src/index.ts', // The file path of your application.
    }),
  ],
})

Development

Just run vite.

npm exec vite

bunx --bun vite

Options

The options are below.

export type DevServerOptions = {
  entry?: string
  export?: string
  injectClientScript?: boolean
  exclude?: (string | RegExp)[]
  ignoreWatching?: (string | RegExp)[]
  adapter?: {
    env?: Env
    onServerClose?: () => Promise<void>
  }
}

Default values:

export const defaultOptions: Required<Omit<DevServerOptions, 'cf'>> = {
  entry: './src/index.ts',
  injectClientScript: true,
  exclude: [
    /.*\.css$/,
    /.*\.ts$/,
    /.*\.tsx$/,
    /^\/@.+$/,
    /\?t\=\d+$/,
    /^\/favicon\.ico$/,
    /^\/static\/.+/,
    /^\/node_modules\/.*/,
  ],
  ignoreWatching: [/\.wrangler/],
}

`injectClientScript`

If it's true and the response content type is "HTML", inject the script that enables Hot-reload. default is true.

`exclude`

The paths that are not served by the dev-server.

If you have static files in public/assets/* and want to return them, exclude /assets/* as follows:

import devServer, { defaultOptions } from '@hono/vite-dev-server'
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    devServer({
      exclude: ['/assets/.*', ...defaultOptions.exclude],
    }),
  ],
})

`ignoreWatching`

You can add target directories for the server to watch.

`adapter`

You can pass the env value of a specified environment to the application.

Adapter

Cloudflare

You can pass the Bindings specified in wrangler.toml to your application by using "Cloudflare Adapter".

import devServer from '@hono/vite-dev-server'
import cloudflareAdapter from '@hono/vite-dev-server/cloudflare'
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'

export default defineConfig(async () => {
  return {
    plugins: [
      devServer({
        adapter: cloudflareAdapter,
      }),
    ],
  }
})

Client-side

You can write client-side scripts and import them into your application using Vite's features. If /src/client.ts is the entry point, simply write it in the script tag. Additionally, import.meta.env.PROD is useful for detecting whether it's running on a dev server or in the build phase.

app.get('/', (c) => {
  return c.html(
    <html>
      <head>
        {import.meta.env.PROD ? (
          <script type='module' src='/static/client.js'></script>
        ) : (
          <script type='module' src='/src/client.ts'></script>
        )}
      </head>
      <body>
        <h1>Hello</h1>
      </body>
    </html>
  )
})

In order to build the script properly, you can use the example config file vite.config.ts as shown below.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import devServer from '@hono/vite-dev-server'

export default defineConfig(({ mode }) => {
  if (mode === 'client') {
    return {
      build: {
        rollupOptions: {
          input: ['./app/client.ts'],
          output: {
            entryFileNames: 'static/client.js',
            chunkFileNames: 'static/assets/[name]-[hash].js',
            assetFileNames: 'static/assets/[name].[ext]',
          },
        },
        emptyOutDir: false,
        copyPublicDir: false,
      },
    }
  } else {
    return {
      build: {
        minify: true,
        rollupOptions: {
          output: {
            entryFileNames: '_worker.js',
          },
        },
      },
      plugins: [
        devServer({
          entry: './app/server.ts',
        }),
      ],
    }
  }
})

You can run the following command to build the client script.

vite build --mode client

Frequently Asked Questions
