Installation

Use the project scaffolder for new applications:

pnpm create routa-ts@latest

For an existing application, install the same runtime set used by generated Routa apps:

pnpm add @routa-ts/cli @routa-ts/core hono zod
pnpm add -D @biomejs/biome @types/node tsx typescript

CLI dependency

Generated Routa apps currently keep @routa-ts/cli in dependencies so routa start is available in deployed environments. If your deployment provides build/start tooling another way, you can choose a stricter dependency split later.

Packages

• @routa-ts/core: route definition helpers and runtime primitives.
• @routa-ts/cli: routa command for checks, builds, scaffolding, and dev server workflows.
• create-routa-ts: project scaffolder for pnpm create routa-ts.

Scripts

Add scripts that mirror generated Routa apps:

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "routa dev",
    "start": "routa start",
    "check": "routa check",
    "build": "routa build",
    "scaffold": "routa scaffold openapi.yaml",
    "openapi:check": "routa openapi check"
  }
}

Requirements

Routa v0 targets new TypeScript APIs using Hono and Zod. Other runtime adapters, schema libraries, SDK generation, and broad operational/security integrations are deferred beyond v0.

Next Step

Create a starter project with the scaffolder or add route contracts to an existing app.
