handler — createRedocUiHandler
(no submodules)
Purpose
This module exposes createRedocUiHandler, the factory the api-host calls
to obtain the HTTP handler serving the ReDoc HTML shell. The returned
handler is a zero-argument function the host invokes per request. It is
intentionally router-agnostic — adapters in the api-host layer translate
the returned RedocHttpResponse into Hono / api-router envelopes — so the
package can be wired into any HTTP surface without dragging a router peer
dependency through every consumer.
Features
- Validates options at construction; invalid input raises
OPENAPI_UI_REDOC_INVALID_OPTIONSbefore any handler runs. - Resolves the runtime asset URL up-front; missing bundled / inline payloads
raise
OPENAPI_UI_REDOC_ASSETS_MISSINGat construction, not at request time. - Pre-renders the HTML shell once at construction — every subsequent request is a constant-time return of the frozen response object.
- The response carries
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8,Cache-Control: no-cache, andX-Content-Type-Options: nosniff. - The handler is idempotent — the same call always returns the same frozen object, so adapters can safely cache it.
Usage: Basic
import { createRedocUiHandler } from "@suaveplan/api-openapi-ui-redoc/handler";
const handler = createRedocUiHandler({ openapiUrl: "/openapi.json" });
const res = handler();
// res.body is the rendered HTML shell.
Usage: Advanced
Wire the bundled-asset strategy into a Hono app, including the cache-busted asset route:
import { Hono } from "hono";
import {
createRedocUiHandler,
defineRedocAsset,
} from "@suaveplan/api-openapi-ui-redoc";
const asset = defineRedocAsset(
"redoc.standalone.js",
"application/javascript; charset=utf-8",
runtimeBody
);
const handler = createRedocUiHandler({
openapiUrl: "/openapi.json",
uiAssets: "bundled",
bundledAsset: asset,
title: "Acme API",
expandResponses: "200,201",
theme: "dark",
});
const app = new Hono();
app.get("/docs/ui/redoc", (c) => {
const r = handler();
Object.entries(r.headers).forEach(([k, v]) => c.header(k, v));
return c.body(r.body, r.status);
});
app.get(`/docs/ui/redoc/assets/${asset.hash}/${asset.name}`, (c) => {
c.header("Content-Type", asset.contentType);
c.header("Cache-Control", "public, max-age=31536000, immutable");
return c.body(asset.body as string);
});

Implementation Notes
The handler pre-renders the HTML once at construction. This keeps the per-request hot path a constant-time return of a frozen object — the same shape the api-router would otherwise have to allocate per call. Pre-rendering also means every option-level fault surfaces at host start-up, not at the first request, which is the failure mode operators want for misconfigured deploys.
