Pass all route types to hc

[itsdillon]

Is there a way to group all routes and pass it as a generic type to hc?

For example:

const app = new Hono<{Variables: Variables}>().basePath('/api')
const posts = app.route('/posts', post)
const auth = app.route('/auth', authRoutes)

It that case, you can use a Union.

type AppType = typeof posts | typeof auth

I tried this but get 'client' is of type 'unknown'.

It's odd. Perhaps something else is amiss. This works well in my environment:

const app = new Hono().basePath('/api')
const post = new Hono().get('/foo', (c) => c.jsonT(0))
const posts = app.route('/posts', post)
const authRoutes = new Hono().get('/foo', (c) => c.jsonT(0))
const auth = app.route('/auth', authRoutes)

type AppType = typeof posts | typeof auth

const client = hc<AppType>('/')

Ya its weird. AppType looks correct. It's whenever I pass the generic the client becomes unknown.

Ok just figured out the issue. Maybe this will help someone else if they come across it @yusukebe.

Before I was doing:

const app = new Hono().basePath('/api')
const post = new Hono()
post.get('/', (c) => c.jsonT(0))
const posts = app.route('/posts', post)

type AppType = typeof posts

What fixed it, was chaining and exporting post like how you have it:

const app = new Hono().basePath('/api')
const post = new Hono().get('/', (c) => c.jsonT(0))
const posts = app.route('/posts', post)

type AppType = typeof posts

Not sure if this is intentional or not.
