hono-ronin

Hono + RONIN

A Hono middleware for querying data from RONIN with ease.

Setup

First, install the package with a package manager of your choice:

# Bun
bun add hono-ronin

# npm
npm install hono-ronin

Next, create a new app token on the RONIN dashboard (under "Apps" in the sidebar), and add it as a environment variable named RONIN_TOKEN to your Hono context.

Once added, you can import and use the middleware in your Hono app:

import { Hono } from "hono";
import { ronin } from "hono-ronin";

const app = new Hono();

app.use("*", ronin());

app.get("/", async (c) => {
  const posts = await c.var.ronin.get.posts();
  return c.json(posts);
});

That's it! 🎉

You can now start inserting records with the RONIN query syntax, or add them on the RONIN dashboard. Everything you can do with the RONIN Hono client, you can also do on the dashboard (creating records, retrieving them, filtering them, updating them, etc).

TypeScript

Out of the box, we also export the required Bindings and Variables types, which you can use to extend the Hono context and get full auto-completion:

import { Hono } from "hono";
import { ronin, type Bindings, type Variables } from "hono-ronin";

const app = new Hono<{
  Bindings: Bindings;
  Variables: Variables;
}>();

app.use("*", ronin());

Contributing

We would be excited to welcome your suggestions for the RONIN Hono client!

To start contributing code, first make sure you have Bun installed, which is a JavaScript runtime.

Next, clone the repo and install its dependencies:

bun install

Once that's done, link the package to make it available to all of your local projects:

bun link

Inside your project, you can then run the following command, which is similar to bun add hono-ronin or npm install hono-ronin, except that it doesn't install hono-ronin from npm, but instead uses your local clone of the package:

bun link hono-ronin

If your project is not yet compatible with Bun, feel free to replace all of the occurances of the word bun in the commands above with npm instead.

You will just need to make sure that, once you create a pull request on the current repo, it will not contain a package-lock.json file, which is usually generated by npm. Instead, we're using the bun.lockb file for this purpose (locking sub dependencies to a certain version).

Developing

In order to be compatible with a wide range of projects, the source code of the hono-ronin repo needs to be compiled (transpiled) whenever you make changes to it. To automate this, you can keep this command running in your terminal:

bun run dev

Whenever you make a change to the source code, it will then automatically be transpiled again.

Running Tests

The RONIN Hono client has 100% test coverage, which means that every single line of code is tested automatically, to ensure that any change to the source code doesn't cause a regression.

Before you create a pull request on the hono-ronin repo, it is therefore advised to run those tests in order to ensure everything works as expected:

# Run all tests
bun test

# Alternatively, run a single test
bun test -t 'your test name'
