External routes file

How to use Hono with external routes file?

index.ts

import { Hono } from 'hono'
import { routes } from './routes'

const app = new Hono()

routes(app)

app.get('/', (c) => c.text('API OK'))

export default app

routes/index.ts

import { Hono } from 'hono'

export function routes(app: Hono) {
  app.get('/test', (c) => {
    return c.text('test')
  })
}

But this doesn't seem to be correct.
Any help is welcome.

It should work as well, but the doc itself give you the option to use grouping: https://hono.dev/api/routing#grouping

Your final code would be something like:

import { Hono } from "hono";
import { serve } from "@hono/node-server";
import book from "./routes";

const app = new Hono();

app.route("/books", book);
app.get("/", (c) => c.text("API OK"));

import { Hono } from "hono";

const book = new Hono();

book.get("/test", (c) => {
  return c.text("test");
});

export default book;
