Example webapp with Fastify

Setup and run

To complete project setup, do:

npm install

and run with

npm start

then point your browser to localhost:8000

Setup and run with Docker

Note that it's possible to let Docker do all inside a container, because all is described in a Dockerfile; see Dockerfile-usage for related commands.

Of course you need a local installation of Docker (recent, if possible latest), but nothing other.

Others

To run a development server (with hot reload enabled) instead execute this:

npm run start:dev

For other custom commands look the 'scripts' section inside 'package.json'.

Requirements

Fastify ^4.5.2, Node.js 14 LTS (14.15.0) or later.

Security

Nothing known.

Sources

Source code is all inside main repo: fastify-example.

Documentation generated from source code (API): here.

Note

Some features can be configured via environment variables; if a .env file is found in project root, all its contents will be loaded into environmental variables. Supported variables:

  • FASTIFY_OPTIONS, set Fastify main options at startup, as a JSON string; to change logging level for example use something like: `{ "logger": { "level": "debug" } }' and to remove logging for example use: '{ }'
  • HTTP_PORT, set default HTTP port for the server
  • HTTP_ADDRESS, set default HTTP address for the server
  • NATS_SERVER_URL, set the URL for the NATS server (if enabled), or plugin default
  • WEBHOOK_SECRET_KEY, set the secret key to require by exposed webhook
  • FEATURE_PLATFORM_INFO_DISABLE, to disable the logging of some info related to the current runtime platform like: Node.js version, OS name, Fastify version, Webapp version, etc ...
  • FEATURE_CHECK_RUNTIME_ENV_DISABLE, to disable (not load) related plugin; if enabled and current Node.js environment is not compatible with the one set in 'package.json' by default it will throw an exception, so the webapp will crash (to avoid running the webapp in a not compliant env)
  • FEATURE_FAVICON_DISABLE, to disable (not load) related plugin
  • FEATURE_WEBHOOK_DISABLE, to disable (not load) related plugin
  • FEATURE_HEALTHCHECK_DISABLE, to disable (not load) related plugin
  • FEATURE_CLOUDEVENTS_DISABLE, to disable (not load) related plugin; note that this by default uses a public NATS server so disable it if not needed or if that server is not reachable for corporate firewall policies
  • FEATURE_CLOUDEVENTS_STRICT_DISABLE, to disable strict mode in generated CloudEvents (if/when related plugin is enabled)
  • FEATURE_CLOUDEVENTS_LOG_CONSOLE_DISABLE, to disable CloudEvent serialization to console
  • FEATURE_CLOUDEVENTS_LOG_FILE_DISABLE, to disable CloudEvent serialization to console, by default true (so disabled); note that when enabled a new log file will be created at any run of the server, but previous (if present) will be overwritten, so any new run is fresh and old logs will be discarded
  • FEATURE_NATS_DISABLE, to disable (not load) related plugin if not specified default behavior will be applied.

As a sample, by default (unless disabled) some messages will be sent to a NATS queue, when the web application has started and when a client ask for a page. NATS server by default (in related plugin) is a public one, demo.nats.io. Pay attention in corporate networks, where that NATS server could NOT be reachable.
