JSX Renderer Middleware

JSX Renderer Middleware allows you to set up the layout when rendering JSX with the c.render() function, without the need for using c.setRenderer(). Additionally, it enables access to instances of Context within components through the use of useRequestContext().

Import

import { Hono } from 'hono'
import { jsxRenderer, useRequestContext } from 'hono/jsx-renderer'

Usage

jsx

const app = new Hono()

app.get(
  '/page/*',
  jsxRenderer(({ children }) => {
    return (
      <html>
        <body>
          <header>Menu</header>
          <div>{children}</div>
        </body>
      </html>
    )
  })
)

app.get('/page/about', (c) => {
  return c.render(<h1>About me!</h1>)
})

Options

optional docType: `boolean` | `string`

If you do not want to add a DOCTYPE at the beginning of the HTML, set the docType option to false.

tsx

app.use(
  '*',
  jsxRenderer(
    ({ children }) => {
      return (
        <html>
          <body>{children}</body>
        </html>
      )
    },
    { docType: false }
  )
)

And you can specify the DOCTYPE.

tsx

app.use(
  '*',
  jsxRenderer(
    ({ children }) => {
      return (
        <html>
          <body>{children}</body>
        </html>
      )
    },
    {
      docType:
        '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">',
    }
  )
)

optional stream: `boolean` | `Record<string, string>`

If you set it to true or provide a Record value, it will be rendered as a streaming response.

tsx

const AsyncComponent = async () => {
  await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 1000)) // sleep 1s
  return <div>Hi!</div>
}

app.get(
  '*',
  jsxRenderer(
    ({ children }) => {
      return (
        <html>
          <body>
            <h1>SSR Streaming</h1>
            {children}
          </body>
        </html>
      )
    },
    { stream: true }
  )
)

app.get('/', (c) => {
  return c.render(
    <Suspense fallback={<div>loading...</div>}>
      <AsyncComponent />
    </Suspense>
  )
})

If true is set, the following headers are added:

{
  'Transfer-Encoding': 'chunked',
  'Content-Type': 'text/html; charset=UTF-8',
  'Content-Encoding': 'Identity'
}

You can customize the header values by specifying the Record values.

Nested Layouts

The Layout component enables nesting the layouts.

tsx

app.use(
  jsxRenderer(({ children }) => {
    return (
      <html>
        <body>{children}</body>
      </html>
    )
  })
)

const blog = new Hono()
blog.use(
  jsxRenderer(({ children, Layout }) => {
    return (
      <Layout>
        <nav>Blog Menu</nav>
        <div>{children}</div>
      </Layout>
    )
  })
)

app.route('/blog', blog)

`useRequestContext()`

useRequestContext() returns an instance of Context.

tsx

import { useRequestContext, jsxRenderer } from 'hono/jsx-renderer'

const app = new Hono()
app.use(jsxRenderer())

const RequestUrlBadge: FC = () => {
  const c = useRequestContext()
  return <b>{c.req.url}</b>
}

app.get('/page/info', (c) => {
  return c.render(
    <div>
      You are accessing: <RequestUrlBadge />
    </div>
  )
})

WARNING

You can't use useRequestContext() with the Deno's precompile JSX option. Use the react-jsx:

json

   "compilerOptions": {
     "jsx": "precompile", 
     "jsx": "react-jsx", 
     "jsxImportSource": "hono/jsx"
   }
 }

Extending `ContextRenderer`

By defining ContextRenderer as shown below, you can pass additional content to the renderer. This is handy, for instance, when you want to change the contents of the head tag depending on the page.

tsx

declare module 'hono' {
  interface ContextRenderer {
    (
      content: string | Promise<string>,
      props: { title: string }
    ): Response
  }
}

const app = new Hono()

app.get(
  '/page/*',
  jsxRenderer(({ children, title }) => {
    return (
      <html>
        <head>
          <title>{title}</title>
        </head>
        <body>
          <header>Menu</header>
          <div>{children}</div>
        </body>
      </html>
    )
  })
)

app.get('/page/favorites', (c) => {
  return c.render(
    <div>
      <ul>
        <li>Eating sushi</li>
        <li>Watching baseball games</li>
      </ul>
    </div>,
    {
      title: 'My favorites',
    }
  )
})
