A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

if i'm coming from nextjs, what is the closest vite-based monorepo setup that lets me do frontend + backend api development? everyone keeps shilling vite to nextjs users but i've never found a good answer for this

You can just make a new stack ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Introducing bhvr 🦫

Bun + Hono + Vite + React

Fully typesafe monorepo starter 

check it out with bun create bhvr

so nice 👍 

I just made my own cf + hono + vite + preact starter last week!

this beaver 🦫 is tempting!!

btw have you tried hono/client ? no shared types needed, just change the backend and the frontend knows

Ty!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I’ve messed around a little bit with hono/client but stuck with vite since there’s so many ecosystem plugins for it, e.g. tailwindcss, shadcn, etc

it can be orthogonal, I believe, purely as dx.

I use hono/client while creating static react via vite. in my editor, I get strict type safety (nameless shapes), with auto-complete and no code-gen or file watching to slow things down.

Front and back remain isolated, but tied together in the editor

am hooked on bhvr, got me playing with my bhvr-cfnk out in public!

this commit replaces the shared package, with hono/client inferred typing.

you can change the backend return shape, and typing on the front-end catches it right away.

there's a bit of intimidating-looking Typescript on the front end; can be mostly avoided if you run the client and server in the same repo and use hono's fetcher. But the flexibility to deploy separately is worth keeping imo.
