Hono API App

A simple API built with Hono that returns JSON data, including information about the current project and a list of mock projects with "lightweight" in the title.

Endpoints

  • GET / - Returns a JSON response with:
    • A welcome message, status, and timestamp
    • Information about the current project
    • A list of mock projects with "lightweight" in the title

Technologies Used

  • Hono - Lightweight, ultrafast web framework
  • TypeScript - For type safety and better developer experience
  • Val Town Runtime Environment - For accessing project metadata

How to Use

This API is deployed on Val Town and can be accessed via HTTP requests.

Example response from the root endpoint:

{ "message": "Hello from Hono API", "status": "success", "timestamp": "2023-07-01T12:34:56.789Z", "valtownfornotion": { "description": "combining val.town and notion" }, "currentUrl": "https://esm.town/v/username/lightweight-project", "username": "username", "currentProject": { "id": "actual-current", "name": "lightweight-project", "description": "This is the current project you're viewing", "author": "username" }, "lightweightProjects": [ { "id": "actual-current", "name": "lightweight-project", "description": "This is the current project you're viewing", "author": "username" }, { "id": "mock1", "name": "lightweight-component-library", "description": "A collection of lightweight UI components", "author": "username" }, { "id": "mock2", "name": "lightweight-css-framework", "description": "A minimal CSS framework for modern web apps", "author": "username" } ], "note": "This is using mock data with the current project included, as the Val Town API access wasn't working as expected." }

Development

To modify this API:

  1. Edit the index.ts file to change the endpoints or response data
  2. Add new routes by using the Hono app instance
  3. For more complex applications, consider organizing routes in separate files

Implementation Notes

Since direct access to the Val Town API was not working as expected, this implementation:

  1. Extracts information about the current project from the runtime environment
  2. Creates a list of mock projects with "lightweight" in the title
  3. Includes the current project in the list if it has "lightweight" in its name
  4. Returns all this information in the JSON response

This approach ensures that the API always returns useful data, even without direct access to the Val Town API.
