Writing OpenAPI Endpoints with Chanfana

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Building OpenAPI endpoints with chanfana for Cloudflare Workers
  • Defining request/response schemas with Zod v4
  • Creating CRUD auto endpoints (Create, Read, Update, Delete, List)
  • Integrating with Cloudflare D1 databases
  • Implementing error handling with exception classes

Part 1: Fundamentals

Quick Start with Hono

import { Hono, type Context } from 'hono';
import { fromHono, OpenAPIRoute, contentJson } from 'chanfana';
import { z } from 'zod';

export type Env = {
    DB: D1Database;
};
export type AppContext = Context<{ Bindings: Env }>;

class HelloEndpoint extends OpenAPIRoute {
    schema = {
        responses: {
            "200": {
                description: 'Successful response',
                ...contentJson(z.object({ message: z.string() })),
            },
        },
    };

    async handle(c: AppContext) {
        return { message: 'Hello, Chanfana!' };
    }
}

const app = new Hono<{ Bindings: Env }>();
const openapi = fromHono(app);
openapi.get('/hello', HelloEndpoint);

export default app;

Quick Start with itty-router

import { Router } from 'itty-router';
import { fromIttyRouter, OpenAPIRoute, contentJson } from 'chanfana';
import { z } from 'zod';

class HelloEndpoint extends OpenAPIRoute {
    schema = {
        responses: {
            "200": {
                description: 'Successful response',
                ...contentJson(z.object({ message: z.string() })),
            },
        },
    };

    async handle(request: Request, env, ctx) {
        return { message: 'Hello, Chanfana!' };
    }
}

const router = Router();
const openapi = fromIttyRouter(router);
openapi.get('/hello', HelloEndpoint);
router.all('*', () => new Response("Not Found.", { status: 404 }));

export const fetch = router.handle;

Schema Definition

Define request validation for body, query, params, and headers:

import { OpenAPIRoute, contentJson } from 'chanfana';
import { z } from 'zod';

class CreateUserEndpoint extends OpenAPIRoute {
    schema = {
        request: {
            body: contentJson(z.object({
                username: z.string().min(3).max(20),
                password: z.string().min(8),
                email: z.email(),
                fullName: z.string().optional(),
            })),
            query: z.object({
                notify: z.boolean().optional().default(true),
            }),
            params: z.object({
                orgId: z.uuid(),
            }),
            headers: z.object({
                'X-API-Key': z.string(),
            }),
        },
        responses: {
            "200": {
                description: 'User created successfully',
                ...contentJson(z.object({
                    id: z.uuid(),
                    username: z.string(),
                    email: z.email(),
                })),
            },
            "400": {
                description: 'Validation error',
                ...contentJson(z.object({
                    success: z.literal(false),
                    errors: z.array(z.object({
                        code: z.number(),
                        message: z.string(),
                    })),
                })),
            },
        },
    };

    async handle(c) {
        const data = await this.getValidatedData<typeof this.schema>();
        // data.body, data.query, data.params, data.headers are all typed
        return { id: crypto.randomUUID(), username: data.body.username, email: data.body.email };
    }
}

Zod v4 Syntax (CRITICAL)

Chanfana v3 uses Zod v4. Use the correct syntax:

// WRONG - Zod v3 syntax (deprecated)
z.string().email()
z.string().uuid()
z.string().datetime()
z.string().date()
z.string().url()
z.string().ip({ version: "v4" })
z.object({}).strict()
z.nativeEnum(MyEnum)

// CORRECT - Zod v4 syntax
z.email()
z.uuid()
z.iso.datetime()
z.iso.date()
z.url()
z.ipv4()
z.strictObject({})
z.enum(['option1', 'option2'])

Common Zod Types for APIs

Use native Zod schemas for all parameter types:

import { z } from 'zod';

// String with constraints
const nameSchema = z.string()
    .min(3)
    .max(50)
    .describe("User's name")
    .openapi({ example: 'John Doe' });

// Number with range
const priceSchema = z.number()
    .min(0)
    .describe('Product price')
    .openapi({ example: 99.99 });

// Integer
const ageSchema = z.number()
    .int()
    .min(0)
    .max(120)
    .describe("User's age");

// Boolean with default
const isActiveSchema = z.boolean()
    .default(true)
    .describe('User active status');

// Date/time (ISO 8601)
const createdAtSchema = z.iso.datetime()
    .describe('Creation timestamp')
    .openapi({ example: '2024-01-20T10:30:00Z' });

// Date only (YYYY-MM-DD)
const birthDateSchema = z.iso.date()
    .describe('Birth date')
    .openapi({ example: '1990-05-15' });

// Email, UUID
const emailSchema = z.email().describe('Email address');
const userIdSchema = z.uuid().describe('User ID');

// Enumeration
const statusSchema = z.enum(['pending', 'processing', 'shipped', 'delivered'])
    .default('pending')
    .describe('Order status');

// Array
const tagsSchema = z.array(z.string()).openapi({
    description: 'Tags',
});

// Object
const addressSchema = z.object({
    street: z.string().describe('Street address'),
    city: z.string().describe('City'),
    zipCode: z.string().describe('Zip code'),
});

// Regex pattern
const phoneSchema = z.string()
    .regex(/^\+?[1-9]\d{1,14}$/, 'Invalid phone number format')
    .describe('Phone number');

// IP addresses
const ipv4Schema = z.ipv4();
const ipv6Schema = z.ipv6();
const ipSchema = z.union([z.ipv4(), z.ipv6()]);

// Hostname (regex pattern)
const hostnameSchema = z.string().regex(
    /^(([a-zA-Z0-9]|[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])\.)*([A-Za-z0-9]|[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9-]*[A-Za-z0-9])$/
);

Validated Data Access

Always use await with getValidatedData():

class MyEndpoint extends OpenAPIRoute {
    async handle(c) {
        // CORRECT - with await and type annotation
        const data = await this.getValidatedData<typeof this.schema>();

        // Type-safe access
        const username = data.body.username;
        const page = data.query.page;
        const userId = data.params.userId;
        const apiKey = data.headers['X-API-Key'];

        return { success: true };
    }
}

Using getUnvalidatedData() for Partial Updates

In Zod v4, optional fields with .default() always have values in validated data. Use getUnvalidatedData() to detect what was actually sent:

class UpdateUser extends OpenAPIRoute {
    schema = {
        request: {
            body: contentJson(z.object({
                name: z.string().optional(),
                status: z.enum(['active', 'inactive']).default('active'),
            })),
        },
    };

    async handle() {
        const validated = await this.getValidatedData<typeof this.schema>();
        // validated.body.status is 'active' even if not sent

        const raw = await this.getUnvalidatedData();
        // raw.body = {} if nothing was sent

        // Check what was actually sent
        const updates: Record<string, any> = {};
        if ('name' in raw.body) updates.name = validated.body.name;
        if ('status' in raw.body) updates.status = validated.body.status;

        return { updated: updates };
    }
}

Part 2: CRUD Auto Endpoints

Meta Object Definition

All auto endpoints require a _meta property:

import { z } from 'zod';

// Define the model schema
const UserSchema = z.object({
    id: z.uuid(),
    username: z.string().min(3).max(20),
    email: z.email(),
    role: z.enum(['user', 'admin']),
    createdAt: z.iso.datetime(),
});

// Define the meta object
const userMeta = {
    model: {
        schema: UserSchema,              // Required: Zod schema for the model
        primaryKeys: ['id'],             // Required: Array of primary key fields
        tableName: 'users',              // Required for D1 endpoints
        serializer: (user: any) => {     // Optional: Transform output
            const { passwordHash, ...safe } = user;
            return safe;
        },
        serializerSchema: UserSchema.omit({ passwordHash: true }), // Optional: Schema for serialized output
    },
    pathParameters: ['id'],              // Optional: Explicit path params for nested routes
    tags: ['Users'],                     // Optional: OpenAPI tags for grouping operations
};

CreateEndpoint

import { CreateEndpoint, type O } from 'chanfana';

class CreateUser extends CreateEndpoint {
    _meta = userMeta;

    // Optional: Pre-processing hook
    async before(data: O<typeof this._meta>): Promise<O<typeof this._meta>> {
        return {
            ...data,
            id: crypto.randomUUID(),
            createdAt: new Date().toISOString(),
        };
    }

    // Required: Create logic
    async create(data: O<typeof this._meta>) {
        await db.users.insert(data);
        return data;
    }

    // Optional: Post-processing hook
    async after(data: O<typeof this._meta>): Promise<O<typeof this._meta>> {
        await sendWelcomeEmail(data.email);
        return data;
    }
}

// Register route
openapi.post('/users', CreateUser);

ReadEndpoint

import { ReadEndpoint, type Filters, type O } from 'chanfana';

class GetUser extends ReadEndpoint {
    _meta = userMeta;

    async before(filters: Filters): Promise<Filters> {
        // Pre-fetch validation
        return filters;
    }

    async fetch(filters: Filters): Promise<O<typeof this._meta> | null> {
        const userId = filters.filters[0].value;
        return await db.users.findById(userId);
    }

    async after(data: O<typeof this._meta>): Promise<O<typeof this._meta>> {
        // Post-fetch processing
        return data;
    }
}

// Register route with path parameter
openapi.get('/users/:id', GetUser);

ListEndpoint

import { ListEndpoint, type ListFilters, type ListResult, type O } from 'chanfana';

class ListUsers extends ListEndpoint {
    _meta = userMeta;

    // Configure filtering, search, and sorting
    filterFields = ['role', 'status'];           // Exact match filtering
    searchFields = ['username', 'email'];         // Full-text search (LIKE)
    orderByFields = ['createdAt', 'username'];    // Available sort fields
    defaultOrderBy = 'createdAt';                 // Default sort field

    async before(filters: ListFilters): Promise<ListFilters> {
        // Add tenant filter, etc.
        return filters;
    }

    async list(filters: ListFilters): Promise<ListResult<O<typeof this._meta>>> {
        const users = await db.users.findMany(filters);
        return { result: users };
    }

    async after(data: ListResult<O<typeof this._meta>>): Promise<ListResult<O<typeof this._meta>>> {
        return data;
    }
}

// Register route
openapi.get('/users', ListUsers);

// API calls:
// GET /users?page=2&per_page=10
// GET /users?role=admin
// GET /users?search=john
// GET /users?order_by=createdAt&order_by_direction=desc

UpdateEndpoint

import { UpdateEndpoint, type UpdateFilters, type O } from 'chanfana';

class UpdateUser extends UpdateEndpoint {
    _meta = userMeta;

    async before(oldObj: O<typeof this._meta>, filters: UpdateFilters): Promise<UpdateFilters> {
        filters.updatedData = {
            ...filters.updatedData,
            updatedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
        };
        return filters;
    }

    async getObject(filters: UpdateFilters): Promise<O<typeof this._meta> | null> {
        const userId = filters.filters[0].value;
        return await db.users.findById(userId);
    }

    async update(oldObj: O<typeof this._meta>, filters: UpdateFilters): Promise<O<typeof this._meta>> {
        const userId = filters.filters[0].value;
        return await db.users.update(userId, { ...oldObj, ...filters.updatedData });
    }

    async after(data: O<typeof this._meta>): Promise<O<typeof this._meta>> {
        await cache.invalidate(`user:${data.id}`);
        return data;
    }
}

// Register route
openapi.put('/users/:id', UpdateUser);

DeleteEndpoint

import { DeleteEndpoint, type Filters, type O } from 'chanfana';

class DeleteUser extends DeleteEndpoint {
    _meta = userMeta;

    async before(oldObj: O<typeof this._meta>, filters: Filters): Promise<Filters> {
        await checkDeletionPermissions(oldObj.id);
        return filters;
    }

    async getObject(filters: Filters): Promise<O<typeof this._meta> | null> {
        const userId = filters.filters[0].value;
        return await db.users.findById(userId);
    }

    async delete(oldObj: O<typeof this._meta>, filters: Filters): Promise<O<typeof this._meta> | null> {
        const userId = filters.filters[0].value;
        await db.users.delete(userId);
        return oldObj;
    }

    async after(data: O<typeof this._meta>): Promise<O<typeof this._meta>> {
        await auditLog.record('user_deleted', data.id);
        return data;
    }
}

// Register route
openapi.delete('/users/:id', DeleteUser);

Nested Routes with pathParameters

For composite primary keys in nested routes:

const PostSchema = z.object({
    userId: z.uuid(),
    id: z.uuid(),
    title: z.string(),
    content: z.string(),
});

const postMeta = {
    model: {
        schema: PostSchema,
        primaryKeys: ['userId', 'id'],  // Composite primary key
        tableName: 'posts',
    },
    pathParameters: ['userId', 'id'],   // Explicit path params
};

class GetPost extends ReadEndpoint {
    _meta = postMeta;

    async fetch(filters: Filters) {
        const userId = filters.filters.find(f => f.field === 'userId')?.value;
        const postId = filters.filters.find(f => f.field === 'id')?.value;
        return await db.posts.findOne({ userId, id: postId });
    }
}

// Nested route: /users/:userId/posts/:id
const postsRouter = new Hono();
const postsOpenapi = fromHono(postsRouter);
postsOpenapi.get('/:id', GetPost);

// Mount nested router
openapi.route('/:userId/posts', postsOpenapi);

Part 3: D1 Database Integration

D1 Endpoint Classes

D1 endpoints extend CRUD endpoints with built-in database operations:

import {
    D1CreateEndpoint,
    D1ReadEndpoint,
    D1UpdateEndpoint,
    D1DeleteEndpoint,
    D1ListEndpoint,
    InputValidationException,
} from 'chanfana';

// wrangler.toml:
// [[d1_databases]]
// binding = "DB"
// database_name = "my-database"
// database_id = "your-database-id"

class CreateUser extends D1CreateEndpoint {
    _meta = userMeta;
    dbName = 'DB';  // Must match wrangler.toml binding name

    // Optional: Handle UNIQUE constraint violations
    constraintsMessages = {
        'users_email_unique': new InputValidationException(
            'Email already registered',
            ['body', 'email']
        ),
        'users_username_unique': new InputValidationException(
            'Username already taken',
            ['body', 'username']
        ),
    };

    // Optional: Enable logging
    logger = console;
}

class GetUser extends D1ReadEndpoint {
    _meta = userMeta;
    dbName = 'DB';
}

class UpdateUser extends D1UpdateEndpoint {
    _meta = userMeta;
    dbName = 'DB';
}

class DeleteUser extends D1DeleteEndpoint {
    _meta = userMeta;
    dbName = 'DB';
}

class ListUsers extends D1ListEndpoint {
    _meta = userMeta;
    dbName = 'DB';
    filterFields = ['role', 'status'];
    searchFields = ['username', 'email'];
    orderByFields = ['createdAt', 'username'];
    defaultOrderBy = 'createdAt';
}

// Register routes
const app = new Hono<{ Bindings: { DB: D1Database } }>();
const openapi = fromHono(app);

openapi.post('/users', CreateUser);
openapi.get('/users', ListUsers);
openapi.get('/users/:id', GetUser);
openapi.put('/users/:id', UpdateUser);
openapi.delete('/users/:id', DeleteUser);

SQL Injection Prevention

D1 endpoints include built-in security utilities:

import {
    validateSqlIdentifier,
    validateTableName,
    validateColumnName,
    buildSafeFilters,
} from 'chanfana/endpoints/d1/base';

// Validate identifiers
const table = validateTableName('users');        // OK
const column = validateColumnName('email');      // OK
validateTableName('DROP TABLE--');               // Throws ApiException

// Build safe WHERE clauses
const filters = [
    { field: 'status', operator: 'EQ', value: 'active' },
    { field: 'role', operator: 'EQ', value: 'admin' },
];
const validColumns = ['id', 'status', 'role', 'name'];
const { conditions, conditionsParams } = buildSafeFilters(filters, validColumns);
// conditions: ['status = ?1', 'role = ?2']
// conditionsParams: ['active', 'admin']

    NotFoundException,
    UnauthorizedException,
    ForbiddenException,
    ConflictException,
    TooManyRequestsException,
    MultiException,
} from 'chanfana';

class MyEndpoint extends OpenAPIRoute {
    async handle(c) {
        // Validation error with path
        if (!isValidEmail(email)) {
            throw new InputValidationException('Invalid email format', ['body', 'email']);
        }

        // Not found
        const user = await db.users.findById(id);
        if (!user) {
            throw new NotFoundException(`User ${id} not found`);
        }

        // Authentication required
        if (!c.req.header('Authorization')) {
            throw new UnauthorizedException('Authentication required');
        }

        // Permission denied
        if (!user.hasPermission('admin')) {
            throw new ForbiddenException('Admin access required');
        }

        // Resource conflict
        if (await db.users.existsByEmail(email)) {
            throw new ConflictException('Email already registered');
        }

        // Rate limiting
        if (rateLimitExceeded) {
            throw new TooManyRequestsException('Rate limit exceeded', 60); // retry after 60s
        }

        // Multiple errors
        const errors = [];
        if (field1Invalid) errors.push(new InputValidationException('Field 1 invalid', ['body', 'field1']));
        if (field2Invalid) errors.push(new InputValidationException('Field 2 invalid', ['body', 'field2']));
        if (errors.length > 0) {
            throw new MultiException(errors);
        }

        return { success: true };
    }
}

Documenting Exceptions in Schema

import {
    OpenAPIRoute,
    contentJson,
    InputValidationException,
    NotFoundException,
    UnauthorizedException,
} from 'chanfana';

class GetUser extends OpenAPIRoute {
    schema = {
        request: {
            params: z.object({ id: z.uuid() }),
        },
        responses: {
            "200": {
                description: 'User found',
                ...contentJson(UserSchema),
            },
            ...InputValidationException.schema(),  // Documents 400 response
            ...UnauthorizedException.schema(),      // Documents 401 response
            ...NotFoundException.schema(),          // Documents 404 response
        },
    };
}

Part 5: Verification

Checklist

Basic Endpoints:

  • Schema defines responses (required, even if just 200)
  • Using contentJson() wrapper for JSON request/response bodies
  • Using await this.getValidatedData<typeof this.schema>() for type-safe access
  • Using Zod v4 syntax (z.email() not z.string().email())
  • Path parameters in schema match route definition (:userId -> params: z.object({ userId: ... }))
  • Exception responses documented using ...ExceptionClass.schema() spread

CRUD Auto Endpoints:

  • _meta property is defined on the endpoint class
  • _meta.model.schema is a valid Zod object schema
  • _meta.model.primaryKeys is an array of primary key field names
  • _meta.model.tableName is set (required for D1 endpoints)
  • Nested routes use pathParameters in meta for composite primary keys
  • _meta.tags is set to group related endpoints under OpenAPI tags
  • ListEndpoint has filterFields, searchFields, orderByFields configured as needed

D1 Endpoints:

  • dbName matches the binding name in wrangler.toml
  • constraintsMessages defined for UNIQUE constraint handling
  • Hono app typed with { Bindings: { DB: D1Database } }

Common Mistakes

1. Missing contentJson wrapper

// WRONG - response body not properly documented
responses: {
    "200": {
        description: 'Success',
        content: { 'application/json': { schema: z.object({...}) } }
    }
}

// CORRECT - use contentJson helper
responses: {
    "200": {
        description: 'Success',
        ...contentJson(z.object({...}))
    }
}

2. Not awaiting getValidatedData

// WRONG - missing await
const data = this.getValidatedData<typeof this.schema>();

// CORRECT
const data = await this.getValidatedData<typeof this.schema>();

3. Using Zod v3 syntax

// WRONG - Zod v3 syntax
z.string().email()
z.string().datetime()
z.object({}).strict()

// CORRECT - Zod v4 syntax
z.email()
z.iso.datetime()
z.strictObject({})

4. Forgetting response schema

// WRONG - no responses defined
schema = { request: { ... } }

// CORRECT - always define responses
schema = {
    request: { ... },
    responses: { "200": { description: 'Success', ...contentJson(...) } }
}

5. Primary key mismatch in nested routes

// WRONG - composite key not reflected in pathParameters
const postMeta = {
    model: {
        primaryKeys: ['userId', 'postId'],
    }
};
// Route: /users/:userId/posts/:postId but no pathParameters

// CORRECT - explicitly define pathParameters
const postMeta = {
    model: {
        primaryKeys: ['userId', 'postId'],
    },
    pathParameters: ['userId', 'postId'],
};

6. Optional fields with defaults in Zod v4

// GOTCHA - Zod v4 always provides default values
const data = await this.getValidatedData();
// data.body.status is 'active' even if not sent in request

// SOLUTION - use getUnvalidatedData() to check what was actually sent
const raw = await this.getUnvalidatedData();
if ('status' in raw.body) {
    // status was actually sent
}

7. D1 binding name mismatch

// WRONG - binding name doesn't match wrangler.toml
class MyEndpoint extends D1CreateEndpoint {
    dbName = 'DATABASE'; // wrangler.toml has binding = "DB"
}

// CORRECT
class MyEndpoint extends D1CreateEndpoint {
    dbName = 'DB'; // matches wrangler.toml [[d1_databases]] binding
}

8. Missing _meta in auto endpoints

// WRONG - no _meta defined
class CreateUser extends CreateEndpoint {
    async create(data) { ... }
}

// CORRECT - _meta is required
class CreateUser extends CreateEndpoint {
    _meta = {
        model: {
            schema: UserSchema,
            primaryKeys: ['id'],
            tableName: 'users',
        },
    };
    async create(data) { ... }
}

9. Using nativeEnum in Zod v4

// WRONG - Zod v3 syntax
enum Status { Active = 'active', Inactive = 'inactive' }
z.nativeEnum(Status)

// CORRECT - Zod v4 syntax
z.enum(['active', 'inactive'])

Popular data & databases skills

View category →

Postgres best practices maintained by Supabase, for Postgres running anywhere. Load this skill BEFORE writing or changing anything that lives in a Postgres database: creating or altering tables and columns (including choosing column types), schema design, migrations and declarative schema files, RLS policies and the tests that verify them, indexes, triggers, database functions, queues and scheduled jobs (pgcron, pgmq), vector/semantic search (pgvector), and restoring dumps (pgrestore) or importing data. Also load it when diagnosing slow queries, high CPU, timeouts, EXPLAIN plans, connection exhaustion, locking, bloat, or rows visible to the wrong user or tenant. This is not just a performance guide — schema, migration, security, and SQL authoring tasks need these rules too, even for a one-column change or a single query.
