fastify-loader
The route loader for the cool kids!
Do you also want an easy way to load routes for fastify? YEAH me too! This is why I made this module.
fastify-loader makes it easy to load routes from a directory.
Features
- Looks cool
- No need to
module.export = (fastify) => { /* your code here */ } - No need to export the fastify instance itself
- No
module.export = { path: '/api/test', handler: (req, reply) => {} }
Please, give me an example!
// File: ./api/hello.js
// YES, really! You don't need to require anything here.
// The fastify instance gets injected in any file matched by the glob.
fastify.get('/api/hello', async () => {
// Complex code here
return { hello: true };
})// File: ./server.js
const fastify = require('fastify')();
// Just register the plugin and add glob array which files to loud
fastify.register(require('fastify-loader'), {
paths: ['./api/**/*.js'], // A glob array
name: "fastify" // [Optional] if you want to do something like this: YOURNAMEHERE.get('/api/test')
});
fastify.listen(1337, err => {
if (err) console.trace(err);
console.log('http://127.0.0.1:1337');
});Installation
Like any other npm module.
yarn add fastify-loader
# or with npm
npm i fastify-loader --saveHow does this work?
It uses vm2 to inject the fastify instance and other vars into the scope of each file.
WebStorm/{INSERT OTHER IDE HERE} says that fastify is an unknown variable. What can I do?
If your IDE supports JSDoc, you can append this to the file.
// File: ./api/hello.js
+ /**
+ * @var {fastify.FastifyInstance} fastify
+ */
// noinspection ES6ModulesDependencies
fastify.get('/api/hello', async () => {
// Complex code here
return { hello: true };
})Or better if your IDE supports typescript typings, because then you can do this:
// File: ./api/hello.js
+ /// <reference types="fastify"/>
+ /// <reference types="fastify-loader"/>
// noinspection ES6ModulesDependencies
fastify.get('/api/hello', async () => {
// Complex code here
return { hello: true };
})Do tests exist?
Yes. You can run yarn test or npm run test after you installed the dependencies.
Inject more than just fastify
fastify.register(require('fastify-loader'), {
paths: ['./api/**/*.js'], // A glob array
inject: {
pi: 3.14 // pi is now available as var in each js file in ./api
}
