How to add middleware to this Cloudflare Workers routing template?

Extend the itty-router by defining custom middleware functions in the index.js file. Check the itty-router documentation for examples on implementing request/response handlers and error catching.

Is itty-router or Hono better for Cloudflare Workers?

Hono is more feature-rich with built-in utilities, while itty-router is lighter and simpler. For complex applications, Hono might be better, but itty-router works well for basic routing needs as shown in this template.

Can I use this template with TypeScript for Cloudflare Workers?

Yes, but the template is in JavaScript by default. You'll need to set up TypeScript configuration separately, modify the index.js, and ensure Wrangler supports TypeScript for deployment.

How to handle errors in itty-router for Cloudflare Workers?

Implement error-handling middleware in itty-router by adding catch-all routes or custom error functions. The template doesn't include this, so refer to itty-router's docs for patterns.

Is this routing template production-ready?

It provides a solid foundation, but you should add features like logging, security headers, and testing. The minimalistic design means additional work is needed for robust production deployments.
