hype wraps hono with useful features for fast prototyping:

  • HTTP logging (disable with NO_HTTP_LOG env variable)
  • Static files served from pub/
  • Page-based routing to .tsx files that export a JSX function in ./src/pages
  • Transpile .ts files in src/js/blah.ts via website.com/js/blah.ts
  • Helpers like css and js template tags.
  • Default, simple HTML5 layout with working frontend transpilation/bundling, or supply your own.
  • Optional CSS reset.
  • Optional pico.css.

Overview

Your project structure should be:

.
├── README.md
├── package.json
├── pub
│   ├── asset.txt
│   └── img
│       └── logo.png
├── src
│   ├── css
│   │   └── main.css
│   ├── js
│   │   ├── about.ts
│   │   └── main.ts
│   ├── shared
│   │   └── utils.ts
│   ├── pages
│   │   ├── _layout.tsx
│   │   ├── about.tsx
│   │   └── index.tsx
│   └── server.tsx
└── tsconfig.json

URLs

In the above, /about will render ./src/pages/about.tsx.

The req JSX prop will be given the Hono request:

export default ({ req }) => `Query Param 'id': ${req.query('id')}`

To put a file in ./src/pages but prevent it from being server, preface it with _.

Layout

hype will wrap everything in a simple default layout unless ./src/pages/_layout.tsx exists, in which case it'll use the default export in that file.

Using the default layout, you can put TS in ./src/js/main.ts and css in ./src/css/main.css and they'll automatically work in your app.

Here's a starting point:

export default ({ children, title }: any) => (
  <html lang="en">
    <head>
      <title>{title ?? "hype"}</title>
      <meta charset="utf-8" />
      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />

      <link href="/css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" />
      <script src="/js/main.ts" type="module"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
      <main>{children}</main>
    </body>
  </html>
)

pico.css

To use pico.css with the default layout, create Hype with { pico: true }:

import { Hype } from 'hype'

const app = new Hype({ pico: true })
```

You can also use pico in your custom layouts:

```html
<link href="/css/pico.css" rel="stylesheet" />
```

### css

CSS can be accessed via `/css/main.css`:

```html
<link href="/css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" />
```

Or written inline using the `css` template tag:

```tsx
import { css } from "hype"

export default () => (
  <div>
    {css`
      * {
        color: red;
      }
    `}
    <h1>Hello</h1>
  </div>
)
```

### css reset


To use reset.css with the default layout, create `Hype` with `{ reset: true }`:

````typescript
import { Hype } from 'hype'

const app = new Hype({ reset: true })

You can also use the css reset in your custom layouts:

```html
<link href="/css/reset.css" rel="stylesheet" />
```

### js

JS can be accessed (and transpiled) via `/js/main.ts` or `/shared/utils.ts`:

```html
<script src="/js/main.ts" type="module"></script>
```

import your modules relatively, for example in `main.ts`:

```typescript
import { initAbout } from "./about"
import utils from "./shared/utils"
```

Or written inline as transpiled typescript using the `js` template tag:

```tsx
import { js } from "hype"

export default () => (
  <div>
    {js`
      window.onload = () => alert(welcomeMsg(Date.now()))

      function welcomeMsg(time: number): string {
        return "Welcome to my website!"
      }
    `}
    <h1>Hello!</h1>
  </div>
)
```

### pub

Anything in `pub/` is served as-is. Simple stuff.

### utils

`hype` includes helpful utils for your webapp:

- `capitalize(str: string): string` - Capitalizes a word
- `css` Template Tag - Lets you inline CSS in your TSX. Returns a `<style>` tag
- `darkenColor(hex: string, opacity: number): string` - Darken a hex color by blending with black. opacity 1 = original, 0 = black
- `isDarkMode(): boolean` - Check if the user prefers dark mode
- `js` Template Tag - Lets you inline JavaScript in your TSX. Transpiles and returns a `<script>` tag
- `lightenColor(hex: string, opacity: number): string` - Lighten a hex color by blending with white. opacity 1 = original, 0 = white
- `rand(end = 2, startAtZero = false): number` - Generate random integer. `rand(2)` flips a coin, `rand(6)` rolls a die, `rand(20)` rolls d20
- `randIndex<T>(list: T[]): number | undefined` - Get a random index from an array. `randIndex([5, 7, 9])` returns `0`, `1`, or `2`
- `randItem<T>(list: T[]): T | undefined` - Get a random item from an array. `randItem([5, 7, 9])` returns `5`, `7`, or `9`
- `randomId(): string` - Generate a 6 character random ID
- `randRange(start = 0, end = 12): number` - Generate random integer in range. `randRange(1, 6)` rolls a die
- `redirectBack(c: Context, fallback = "/"): Response` - Redirect to the referrer, or fallback if no referrer
- `times(n: number): number[]` - Generate array of integers. `times(3)` returns `[1, 2, 3]`
- `transpile(path: string): Promise<string>` - Transpile a TypeScript file at `path` to JavaScript (cached by mtime)
- `unique<T>(array: T[]): T[]` - Remove duplicates from array. `unique([1,1,2,2,3,3])` returns `[1,2,3]`
- `weightedRand(): number` - Generate random number between 1 and 10 with decreasing probability (1 is most likely, 10 is least)

## Setup

1. Add `dev` and `start` to `package.json`:

```json
  "scripts": {
    "start": "bun run src/server.tsx",
    "dev": "bun run --hot src/server.tsx"
  },
```

2. Use our `tsconfig.json`:

```json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "lib": ["ESNext", "DOM"],
    "target": "ESNext",
    "module": "Preserve",
    "moduleDetection": "force",
    "jsx": "react-jsx",
    "jsxImportSource": "hono/jsx",
    "allowJs": true,
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "allowImportingTsExtensions": true,
    "verbatimModuleSyntax": true,
    "noEmit": true,
    "strict": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
    "noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true,
    "noImplicitOverride": true,
    "noUnusedLocals": false,
    "noUnusedParameters": false,
    "noPropertyAccessFromIndexSignature": false,
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "#*": ["src/*"]
    }
  }
}
```

3. Use `Hype` just like `Hono` in your `server.tsx`, exporting `app.defaults`:

```typescript
import { Hype } from "hype"

const app = new Hype()

app.get("/my-custom-routes", (c) => c.text("wild, wild stuff"))

export default app.defaults
```

4. Enter dev mode

```sh
bun install
bun test
```
