Is using app.get instead of app.use for middleware to apply only on GET routes acceptable?

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a project using Hono and I need to apply middleware only to GET routes. Normally, I would use app.use to apply middleware globally, but this middleware should only affect GET requests. To achieve this, I used app.get instead of app.use for the middleware.

Here’s a simplified version of my code:

import amazon from './routes/amazon.js'
import apiKeys from './routes/apiKeys.js'

const app = new Hono()

app.get('/*', apiKeyAuth({
  enforceAuth: true
}))

app.route('/', amazon)
app.route('/', apiKeys)

In this code, apiKeyAuth middleware is applied only to GET routes. My question is:

Is this an acceptable and recommended approach to limit middleware to GET routes in Hono? Are there any potential issues or better practices I should be aware of?

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

That sounds like the recommended way, also described in the docs, so I that makes perfect sense!
