Click **Remix** to get your own copy.\n\n## Picking a starter\n\n| Starter | When to pick it |\n| --- | --- |\n| [`basic-html-starter`](https://www.val.town/x/templates/basic-html-starter) | Static HTML pages. Sprinkle of vanilla JS. No server-side rendering. |\n| [`hono-jsx-starter`](https://www.val.town/x/templates/hono-jsx-starter) | Dynamic server-rendered HTML with JSX. API routes. No React, no SPA. |\n| **[`react-hono-starter`](https://www.val.town/x/templates/react-hono-starter)** *(you're here)* | Client-side React SPA with a Hono API backend. |\n\n**Want to build UI?** Start writing React components in\n[`frontend/components/`](/frontend/components/). Import them into `App.tsx` and\nyou're good to go. Styling is [Twind](https://twind.style/) — just use Tailwind\nutility classes, zero config.\n\n**Want to add an API?** Add routes in [`index.ts`](/index.ts) (there's a\ncommented-out example). Fetch them from your React components.\n\n## Architecture\n\n```mermaid\ngraph LR\n Browser -->|\"GET /\"| Hono[\"index.ts
(Hono server)\"]\n Hono -->|serves| HTML[\"root.tsx\"]\n HTML -->|loads| Entry[\"index.tsx\"]\n Entry -->|renders| App[\"App.tsx\"]\n App -->|renders| Counter[\"Counter.tsx\"]\n```\n\n## File structure\n\n```\nindex.ts ← Hono backend (serves frontend + API routes)\nfrontend/\n root.tsx ← HTML shell (stamps immutable asset URLs)\n index.tsx ← React entrypoint (mounts )\n favicon.svg ← App icon\n components/\n App.tsx ← Root component (layout + view source link)\n Counter.tsx ← Example component with state\n```\n\n## How it works\n\n1. **`index.ts`** is the HTTP entrypoint — a Hono server that serves the\n frontend and any API routes you add.\n2. **`frontend/root.tsx`** is the HTML shell — it loads Twind and stamps\n immutable asset URLs for the favicon and React entrypoint.\n3. **`frontend/index.tsx`** mounts the React app.\n4. **`frontend/components/App.tsx`** is the root layout — add new components\n alongside it.\n5. **`frontend/components/Counter.tsx`** is an example stateful component —\n replace it with your own!\n\n## Next steps\n\n- Add API routes in `index.ts`\n- Add new components in `frontend/components/`\n- Add a SQLite database — see the\n [React Hono Example](https://www.val.town/x/stevekrouse/reactHonoExample) for\n a full-stack example with database, queries, and shared types\n\nTemplate updates and upgrade paths for existing remixes: [CHANGELOG.md](/CHANGELOG.md)\n",[147],"4ff7678a-ba44-4ba0-a0de-8d0c28ac3037","CHANGELOG.md","01a0aa9e-8d5a-722e-8769-8400a3ccb6a2",["D",1789568911615],"# Changelog\n\n## 2026-07-30 — Immutable asset caching\n\nFrontend files are now served at version-addressed URLs\n(`/__immutable/45/frontend/index.tsx`) with\n`Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable`, so repeat visits load the\nwhole client graph from the browser cache — roughly 3× faster (~665ms → ~157ms\nmeasured). Publishing your val bumps its version, which changes every URL, so\ncaches invalidate automatically. Old-version URLs return 404 after a publish\n(like Next.js build assets); a reload picks up the new version.\n\nWhat changed in the template:\n\n- `frontend/index.html` → [`frontend/root.tsx`](/frontend/root.tsx): the HTML\n shell is now JSX and stamps asset URLs with `immutableFileUrl()`\n- [`index.ts`](/index.ts): serves `Root()` at `/`, and one\n `app.get(\"/__immutable/*\", (c) => serveImmutableFile(c.req.path))` route\n serves all frontend files\n\n### Upgrading an existing remix\n\nYour copy of this template doesn't update automatically. Two options:\n\n**Minimal (most of the benefit):** point both routes at `serveImmutableFile` —\nyour existing bare URLs redirect into versioned space, the new route serves\nthem, and the whole module graph gets cached (costs one redirect per page view):\n\n```ts\nimport { serveImmutableFile } from \"https://esm.town/v/std/utils/index.ts\";\n\napp.get(\"/__immutable/*\", (c) => serveImmutableFile(c.req.path));\napp.get(\"/frontend/**/*\", (c) => serveImmutableFile(c.req.path)); // was serveFile\n```\n\n**Full upgrade (also removes the redirect):** three self-contained steps —\nno other files needed. Adjust the ``, favicon, and body of `Root()` to\nmatch your app's existing `index.html`, and stamp anything else your shell\nreferences directly (images, css) with `immutableFileUrl()`.\n\n1. Create `frontend/root.tsx`:\n\n```tsx\n/** @jsxImportSource npm:hono@4/jsx */\nimport { raw } from \"npm:hono@4/html\";\nimport { immutableFileUrl } from \"https://esm.town/v/std/utils/index.ts\";\n\n// The HTML shell for the app. It is never cached, so immutableFileUrl can stamp\n// the current val version into each asset URL — the browser caches those\n// immutably, and publishing the val changes the URLs, refetching exactly once.\nexport function Root() {\n return (\n <>\n {raw(\"<!DOCTYPE html>\")}\n <html lang=\"en\">\n <head>\n <meta charSet=\"UTF-8\" />\n <meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\" />\n <title>React Hono Val Town Starter\n
