Tips for rpc perf

Added tips to improve IDE performance when using RPC

Can you write the specific instructions for using d.ts?

[m-shaka]

Updated!

Hey @m-shaka

Good descriptions! These are needed. I've left a comment. Check it.

[yusukebe]

I'm not sure this will help you, but I've created the repo to use d.ts: https://github.com/yusukebe/hono-rpc-with-d-ts

[m-shaka]

Great!
I was thinking of separating the server project and the client one using a monorepo tool as I'm doing in my job, but your working example looks perfect as a single repo.
I'll add a description about monorepo and the link to your repository to the doc.

Hey. This is another approach in which @nakasyou tried similar things.

https://github.com/yusukebe/hono-rpc-with-d-ts/tree/client-types

In this branch, client/client.ts uses the actual client types emitted from client-types/client.ts. This may be the fastest for the client. This is interesting.

[yusukebe]

Oooops. Please ignore the CI is failing.

[m-shaka]

Oh, I see.
Or rather it's better to export a client from the server, right?

// server/client.ts
import routes from './server'
import { hc } from 'hono/client'

type Routes = typeof routes
export const getClient: typeof hc<Routes> = (...args) => hc<Routes>(...args)

// client/client.ts
import { getClient } from '../dist/client'
const client = getClient('http://localhost:3000')

const res = await client.index.$get()
const data = await res.json()
console.log(data)

[m-shaka]

Some tricks are needed to calculate types on compiling.

// server/client.ts
import routes from './server'
import { hc } from 'hono/client'

type Routes = typeof routes

const client = hc<Routes>('http://localhost:3000')

export type Client = typeof client

export const getClient = (...args: Parameters<typeof hc<Routes>>): Client =>
    hc<Routes>(...args)

@m-shaka

Ah, cool! It's nitpicky, but how about renaming getClient to hcWithType?

[yusukebe]

@nakasyou any thoughts on it?

[nakasyou]

It looks cool! And I like hcWithType better than getClient.

[m-shaka]

Thank you, both of you! I revised the doc

[yusukebe]

Hi @m-shaka

I've updated the format of the docs and added a super short description for the server. Let's go with it. Thanks!
