What it does
- Write handlers inline in route definitions for proper type inference of path params.
- Use app.route() to organize large apps by feature, not Rails-style controllers.
- Use createFactory() to share Env type across app, middleware, and handlers.
- Use c.set()/c.get() to pass data between middleware and handlers.
- Chain validators for multiple request parts (param + query + json).
- Export app type for RPC: export type AppType = typeof routes
- Use app.request() for testing — no server startup needed.
Requirements & configuration
- const token = c.req.header('Authorization')
- if (!token) return c.json({ error: 'Unauthorized' }, 401)
- // Create middleware (Env type is inherited, no need to pass generics)
