Quick Start

Using Honest CLI

The fastest way to create a new Honest application is to use the Honest CLI:

# Install Honest CLI globally
bun add -g @honestjs/cli

# Create a new project
honestjs new my-project # alias: honest, hnjs
cd my-project

# Start the development server
bun dev

This will create a new project with a standard directory structure and all necessary configuration files.

Manual Setup

If you prefer to set up your project manually, follow these steps:

1. Install packages

bun add honestjs hono reflect-metadata
# or
pnpm add honestjs hono reflect-metadata
# or
yarn add honestjs hono reflect-metadata
# or
npm install honestjs hono reflect-metadata

2. Create your first controller:

// app.controller.ts
import { Controller, Get } from 'honestjs'

@Controller()
class AppController {
	@Get()
	helloWorld() {
		return 'Hello, World!'
	}
}

export default AppController

3. Create a module:

// app.module.ts
import { Module } from 'honestjs'
import { AppController } from './app.controller.ts'

@Module({
	controllers: [AppController]
})
class AppModule {}

export default AppModule

4. Bootstrap your application:

import 'reflect-metadata'
import { Application } from 'honestjs'
import { AppModule } from './app.module'

const { app, hono } = await Application.create(AppModule, {
	routing: {
		prefix: 'api',
		version: 1
	}
})

export default hono
