Build an HTTP Interactions Discord bot with Hono

What is Honocord?

Honocord bridges Discord’s Interaction API with Hono’s lightweight web framework, allowing you to build fast, serverless Discord bots that run on edge platforms like Cloudflare Workers, or traditional Node.js environments.

Key Features

📘 Fully Type-Safe - Built with TypeScript using discord-api-types for excellent type safety (I hope at least)
🎯 Handler-Based Architecture - Clean, modular system for commands, components, and modals
⚡ Hono Integration - Leverages Hono’s lightweight, fast routing capabilities
🔧 Flexible Deployment - Works with Cloudflare Workers, Bun, Node.js, and more
🎨 Rich Builders - Re-exports Discord.js builders for creating embeds, buttons, modals, and more
🤖 Autocomplete Support - Built-in autocomplete helper for slash commands
🔐 Secure by Default - Automatic signature verification for Discord interactions

Disclaimer: Yes, AI helped me build this - with the focus on helped.

Also get familiar with Discord.js and Discord API Concepts.
