JSX Middleware ​

JSX Middleware enables rendering HTML with JSX syntax. It's just for Sever-Side-Rendering. Not for making virtual DOMs.

Import ​

ts
import { Hono } from 'hono'
import { jsx } from 'hono/jsx'
import { Hono } from 'hono'
import { jsx } from 'hono/jsx'
ts
import { Hono } from 'https://deno.land/x/hono/mod.ts'
import { jsx } from 'https://deno.land/x/hono/middleware.ts'
import { Hono } from 'https://deno.land/x/hono/mod.ts'
import { jsx } from 'https://deno.land/x/hono/middleware.ts'

Settings ​

tsconfig.json:

json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "jsx": "react-jsx",
    "jsxFragmentFactory": "Fragment",
    "jsxImportSource": "hono/jsx"
  }
}
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "jsx": "react-jsx",
    "jsxFragmentFactory": "Fragment",
    "jsxImportSource": "hono/jsx"
  }
}

You do not have to import { jsx } from 'hono/jsx.

Or use pragma:

ts
/** @jsx jsx */
/** @jsxFrag  Fragment */
import { jsx } from 'hono/jsx'
/** @jsx jsx */
/** @jsxFrag  Fragment */
import { jsx } from 'hono/jsx'

Usage ​

index.tsx:

tsx
const app = new Hono()

const Layout = (props: { children?: string }) => {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>{props.children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}

const Top = (props: { messages: string[] }) => {
  return (
    <Layout>
      <h1>Hello Hono!</h1>
      <ul>
        {props.messages.map((message) => {
          return <li>{message}!!</li>
        })}
      </ul>
    </Layout>
  )
}

app.get('/', (c) => {
  const messages = ['Good Morning', 'Good Evening', 'Good Night']
  return c.html(<Top messages={messages} />)
})
const app = new Hono()

const Layout = (props: { children?: string }) => {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>{props.children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}

const Top = (props: { messages: string[] }) => {
  return (
    <Layout>
      <h1>Hello Hono!</h1>
      <ul>
        {props.messages.map((message) => {
          return <li>{message}!!</li>
        })}
      </ul>
    </Layout>
  )
}

app.get('/', (c) => {
  const messages = ['Good Morning', 'Good Evening', 'Good Night']
  return c.html(<Top messages={messages} />)
})

dangerouslySetInnerHTML ​

dangerouslySetInnerHTML allows you to set HTML directly.

tsx
app.get('/foo', (c) => {
  const inner = { __html: 'JSX &middot; SSR' }
  const Div = <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={inner} />
})
app.get('/foo', (c) => {
  const inner = { __html: 'JSX &middot; SSR' }
  const Div = <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={inner} />
})

memo ​

You can memoize calculated strings of the component with memo.

ts
import { jsx, memo } from 'hono/jsx'
import { jsx, memo } from 'hono/jsx'
ts
import { jsx, memo } from 'https://deno.land/x/hono/middleware.ts'
import { jsx, memo } from 'https://deno.land/x/hono/middleware.ts'
tsx
import { jsx, memo } from 'hono/jsx'

const Header = memo(() => <header>Welcome to Hono</header>)
const Footer = memo(() => <footer>Powered by Hono</footer>)
const Layout = (
  <div>
    <Header />
    <p>Hono is cool!</p>
    <Footer />
  </div>
)
import { jsx, memo } from 'hono/jsx'

const Header = memo(() => <header>Welcome to Hono</header>)
const Footer = memo(() => <footer>Powered by Hono</footer>)
const Layout = (
  <div>
    <Header />
    <p>Hono is cool!</p>
    <Footer />
  </div>
)

Fragment ​

ts
import { jsx, Fragment } from 'hono/jsx'
import { jsx, Fragment } from 'hono/jsx'
ts
import { jsx, Fragment } from 'https://deno.land/x/hono/middleware.ts'
import { jsx, Fragment } from 'https://deno.land/x/hono/middleware.ts'
tsx
const List = () => (
  <Fragment>
    <p>first child</p>
    <p>second child</p>
    <p>third child</p>
  </Fragment>
)
const List = () => (
  <Fragment>
    <p>first child</p>
    <p>second child</p>
    <p>third child</p>
  </Fragment>
)

With html Middleware ​

It's powerful to use JSX middleware with html middleware. For more information, see html middleware docs.

tsx
import { Hono } from 'hono'
import { html } from 'hono/html'
import { jsx } from 'hono/jsx'

const app = new Hono()

interface SiteData {
  title: string
  children?: any
}

const Layout = (props: SiteData) => html`<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
    <head>
      <title>${props.title}</title>
    </head>
    <body>
      ${props.children}
    </body>
  </html>`

const Content = (props: { siteData: SiteData; name: string }) => (
  <Layout {...props.siteData}>
    <h1>Hello {props.name}</h1>
  </Layout>
)

app.get('/:name', (c) => {
  const { name } = c.req.param()
  const props = {
    name: name,
    siteData: {
      title: 'JSX with html sample',
    },
  }
  return c.html(<Content {...props} />)
})

export default app
import { Hono } from 'hono'
import { html } from 'hono/html'
import { jsx } from 'hono/jsx'

const app = new Hono()

interface SiteData {
  title: string
  children?: any
}

const Layout = (props: SiteData) => html`<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
    <head>
      <title>${props.title}</title>
    </head>
    <body>
      ${props.children}
    </body>
  </html>`

const Content = (props: { siteData: SiteData; name: string }) => (
  <Layout {...props.siteData}>
    <h1>Hello {props.name}</h1>
  </Layout>
)

app.get('/:name', (c) => {
  const { name } = c.req.param()
  const props = {
    name: name,
    siteData: {
      title: 'JSX with html sample',
    },
  }
  return c.html(<Content {...props} />)
})

export default app
