How to use createFactory helper to define rails-style route controllers? (GET, POST, PUT, etc)?

[tconroy]

Reading through the docs it's recommended to use the createFactory() helper to create rails-style controllers / route handlers.

However, the docs do not include examples of what this looks like.

The best practices also suggests using createFactory() for this purpose but does not include example of defining >1 handler with the factory.

Would someone please provide an example of how to create colocated handlers (rails-like) with full type safety? Also, when to use factory.createHandlers vs when to use factory.createApp?

I have discovered this works, but unclear if best practice / maximum type safety.

// src/index.ts

import { Hono } from 'hono'
import { UserController } from './User.controller.ts'

const app = new Hono()

app.route('/user', UserController);

export default app

// src/User.controller.ts

import { createFactory } from 'hono/factory';
import { logger } from 'hono/logger';

export const UserController = createFactory().createApp()
  .get('/', logger(), (c) => { return c.text('Hello Hono!!!!!'); })
  .get('/:id', logger(), (c) => { return c.text(`hi lil user ${c.req.param('id')}`); });

Your example code is not a controller,
but it is the hono.js recommend usage.
