Hono RPC with React Monorepo Template

Short summary

Hono RPC eliminates code generation by automatically sharing API type specifications between your TypeScript backend and React frontend, providing end-to-end type safety. This practical tutorial guides you through building a monorepo with Hono API and React using pnpm workspaces, configuring Vite's development proxy, and setting up workspace dependencies. The final result is a type-safe client that fetches API data with full TypeScript type inference throughout the stack.
