Provide a starter for Deno/Hono

[chrisnurse]

Following in the tracks of Hono, and their "cross-platform" approach, Pylon looks like an excellent project with a vision for making APIs simpler.

I would find it very useful to be able to launch a template project which uses deno, and also deno with Hono.

Some concepts which are gaining a lot of interest from the community are the speed at which we can build services, which can also automatically support RPC and GrapQL, whilst also leveraging the power of Zod for rapid validation of inputs and outputs.

Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for the issue.

I will do some research next week and then add Deno as a supported Pylon runtime.

[chrisnurse]

Thanks for the quick reply!

If it's useful at all, and you're a fan of devcontainers, as I am...

https://github.com/DenoBlox/devcontainer

This repo drops a dev container configuration into your project folder. It might just help you get deno setup, if you havent already, and keep your stuff isolated.

I use Codespaces quite often, but I have never bothered to configure the devcontainer.

I would happily accept a PR that adds devcontainers to Pylon.

This configuration must support Nodejs, Bun and Deno.

Some pre installed extensions like GitHub, Copilot and prettier would also be nice.

In addition, I think that project with Pylon npm create pylon could also benefit from dev containers. There we would need separate the containers based on the runtime.

@chrisnurse

I am trying to use a tsconfig.json with Deno.

{
  "extends": "@getcronit/pylon/tsconfig.pylon.json",
  "include": ["pylon.d.ts", "src/**/*.ts", "pylon.test.ts"]
}

The problem is that the extends does not work because there are no node_modules in Deno.

Any idea what could be the issue?

[chrisnurse]

I think that would have to be merged into deno.json

[schettn]

Apparently you can specify the tsconfig with --config tsconig.json and use "nodeModulesDir": "auto" inside the Deno.json to get the extends working.
