This directory contains the backend routing and server logic for the Molstar Viewer applications.

backend/
├── index.tsx       # Main entry point with Hono routing
└── routes/         # Individual route handlers (future)

index.tsx sets up a Hono app with routes for all four Molstar applications:

• / - Home page listing all available apps
• /viewer - Standard Mol* viewer
• /docking-viewer - Docking viewer for molecular docking results
• /mesoscale-explorer - Mesoscale structure explorer
• /mvs-stories - Interactive molecular visualization stories

Each route currently returns a simple text response. These will be updated to render the TSX components from frontend/apps/.

The backend is imported and used as the default export in the root index.tsx:

Create val
import app from "./backend/index.tsx";
export default app;

This makes the Hono app the HTTP handler for the Val.

All Molstar library dependencies should be imported using the JSR protocol:

Create val
import { Viewer } from "jsr:@zachcp/molstar@5.3.4";

Available exports from @zachcp/molstar:

• . (main export)
• ./plugin-ui
• ./plugin
• ./plugin-state
• ./canvas3d
• ./data
• ./state
• ./task
• ./util
