Please support JavaScript – don't force TypeScript by default

pnpm create cloudflare@latest my-hono-app --framework=hono --platform=pages

The project is automatically initialized with TypeScript, with no prompt or option to choose JavaScript instead.

It would be great to add a flag or interactive prompt to allow users to choose between TypeScript and JavaScript. While TypeScript is a great choice for many, some users—especially beginners or those preferring a simpler setup—may want to start with plain JavaScript.

Providing this flexibility would improve developer experience and make the tool more inclusive for a broader audience.

Thanks for the great work!

@emily-shen, is this supported already? Or would it require updates to C3?

[emily-shen]

Hey! Under the hood, c3 uses the official hono initialisercreate hono, which doesn't appear to have a js option. This seems like a feature request for hono (https://github.com/honojs/create-hono), and something we could add if that happens :)

Howdy @gowy222, closing out this issue since there's nothing we can do on the docs side here.

Feel free to raise in the Hono repo and then come back here and create a new issue!
