Is possible to deploy on Vercel?

[rphlmr]

It should be able to be deployed everywhere Hono can be deployed, but I only have Node support, so I'm not sure it will work well on their edge runtime.

https://hono.dev/docs/getting-started/vercel

I haven't tested but createHonoServer returns the app

Would also be interested. Tried a few things but can't get it to run.
Vercel has some doc https://vercel.com/docs/frameworks/react-router#using-a-custom-server-entrypoint but that doesn't seem to work...

Hello @rphlmr, thanks for your work on this package!

I’ve tried everything to get it running on Vercel, but no luck—Vercel completely ignores the Hono server. I even tried throwing errors inside the server, but they never get picked up in the production build, almost like the server isn’t there.

That said, everything works perfectly in development and local builds, but not on Vercel.

Is there an explanation for this? Or any suggestions on how I can improve compatibility between the two?
Note: I’m new to Hono and recently updated to RR7. Everything works fine without Hono.

I got basic hono running on vercel without this plugin, see here, maybe this helps to pinpoint the problem. However I wasn't able to get it running in dev mode locally (it doesn't seem to be running the hono server).

Same issue, @sigma-andex did you find a solution to run it in dev mode locally?

[sigma-andex]

Unfortunately not, but would be open to pair on this problem to either get this plugin or the plugin-less version with dev mode running if you like

I'm now using https://github.com/huijiewei/resolid-react-router-hono which seems to work, I have yet to fully test in prod.

Edit: Actually now I'm using @vercel/react-router in vercel and react-router-hono-server in local.

[rphlmr]

Sounds like a good alternative that specifically solves the Vercel support.
Since it is really close to React Router Hono Server (same code for Node), it should be an easy switch.

Looking at the code made for Vercel, I could probably do the same thing, but it's a lot of work and time to maintain since I don't use Vercel. Maybe it would be better maintained by someone who uses it daily 😅

Actually now I'm using @vercel/react-router in vercel and react-router-hono-server in local.

vite.config.ts

process.env.VERCEL !== '1' &&
reactRouterHonoServer({
  serverEntryPoint: 'src/server/server.local.ts',
}),
...
build: {
  env.VERCEL === '1' && isSsrBuild ? {
    input: './src/server/server.vercel.ts',
  }
: undefined

react-router.config.ts

presets: env.VERCEL === '1' ? [vercelPreset()] : undefined

[sigma-andex]

ok yes that is also an option. not ideal because your prod and dev builds differ but maybe a good workaround until someone gets it running properly.

I got it also running now using @cwagner22 approach. Here is the template for anyone interested:
