Build an HTTP server using Hono and Bun

Hono is a lightweight ultrafast web framework designed for the edge.

server.ts

import { Hono } from "hono";
const app = new Hono();

app.get("/", c => c.text("Hono!"));

export default app;

Use create-hono to get started with one of Hono's project templates. Select bun when prompted for a template.

terminal

$ bun create hono myapp

✔ Which template do you want to use? › bun
cloned honojs/starter#main to /path/to/myapp
✔ Copied project files

terminal

$ cd myapp
$ bun install

Then start the dev server and visit localhost:3000.

terminal

$ bun run dev

Refer to Hono's guide on getting started with Bun for more information.
