# Hono

## Getting started with Hono

Start accepting 402 payments in your Hono server in 2 minutes.

<Note>You can find the full code for this example [here](https://github.com/x402-foundation/x402/tree/main/examples/typescript/servers/hono).</Note>

### Step 1: Install dependencies

```bash theme={null}
npm install x402-hono hono dotenv @hono/node-server
```

### Step 2: Set your environment variables

```bash theme={null}
echo "ADDRESS=0x...\nFACILITATOR_URL=https://facilitator.payai.network\nNETWORK=solana-devnet" > .env
```

Your `.env` file should look like this:

```
ADDRESS=0x... # the wallet address you will receive payments on, could be evm or solana
FACILITATOR_URL=https://facilitator.payai.network
NETWORK=solana-devnet # or base-sepolia, avalanche, etc.
```

### Step 3: Create a new Hono app

```typescript index.ts lines icon="typescript" theme={null}
import { config } from "dotenv";
import { Hono } from "hono";
import { serve } from "@hono/node-server";
import { paymentMiddleware, Network, Resource } from "x402-hono";

config();

const facilitatorUrl = process.env.FACILITATOR_URL as Resource;
const payTo = process.env.ADDRESS as `0x${string}`;
const network = process.env.NETWORK as Network;

if (!facilitatorUrl || !payTo || !network) {
  console.error("Missing required environment variables");
  process.exit(1);
}

const app = new Hono();

console.log("Server is running");

app.use(
  paymentMiddleware(
    payTo,
    {
      "/weather": {
        price: "$0.001",
        network,
      },
    },
    {
      url: facilitatorUrl,
    },
  ),
);

app.get("/weather", c => {
  return c.json({
    report: {
      weather: "sunny",
      temperature: 70,
    },
  });
});

serve({
  fetch: app.fetch,
  port: 4021,
});
```

### Step 4: Run the server

```bash theme={null}
npx tsx index.ts
```

<Check>
  Your server is now accepting x402 payments!
</Check>

### Step 5: Test the server

You can test payments against your server locally by following the [fetch example](/v1/x402/clients/typescript/fetch) or the [axios example](/v1/x402/clients/typescript/axios).

Just set your environment variables to match your local server, install the dependencies, and run the examples.
