Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
Requires a Hono app and the Zod library installed, both of which are standard npm packages.
When someone submits a form or sends data to your web app, you need to check that the data is complete and correctly formatted before your app tries to use it. For example, if your app expects a name and an age, you want to make sure those fields are actually there and that the age is a number, not random text. This project is a small tool that automates that checking process for apps built with Hono, a lightweight web framework. You start by writing a simple description of what you expect the data to look like, using a library called Zod. Then you plug this validator into your app's routes as a "middleware," which is just a step that runs before your main app logic. If the incoming data matches your description, the request moves forward and your app handles it normally. If the data does not match, the validator stops the request and lets you send an error message back to the user instead of letting bad data reach your app. This is useful for developers building web APIs or forms with Hono who want a reliable way to prevent malformed or missing data from causing problems downstream. For instance, if you have a signup form that requires an email and a password, this tool makes sure those fields are present and properly formatted before your code tries to create an account, saving you from confusing errors later. The project is straightforward and focused. It does one thing, validating request bodies, and does not add extra complexity. The README does not go into detail about performance characteristics or advanced configuration, but the basic usage shows a clean, minimal approach. It also supports a custom "hook" function, meaning you can write your own logic for exactly how to respond when validation fails, rather than being stuck with a default error format.
A small plugin for Hono web apps that checks incoming form or API data against rules you define with Zod, blocking bad data before it reaches your app.
