Context

Context

Handlers and middleware receive c. Request access is synchronous: the body is pre-buffered, so c.req never awaits.

Request

c.req.param("id"); // string | null, percent-decoded
c.req.query("q"); // string | null
c.req.queries("tag"); // string[], all values for a repeated key
c.req.queryAll(); // Record<string, string>
c.req.header("x-foo");
c.req.body(); // string
c.req.method;
c.req.path;
c.req.raw;

Response

Helpers write at statement level and return c for chaining. After one runs, the response is sent, so set headers first.

c.json({ ok: true });
c.text("plain");
c.html("<h1>hi</h1>");
c.status(201).json({ created: true });
c.header("x-trace", "abc");
c.redirect("/elsewhere", 302);

Next: Errors. Request bodies and the { body: true } flag: Middleware.
