@device-router/middleware-fastify

Fastify plugin for DeviceRouter. Adds device classification and rendering hints to every request.

Installation

pnpm add @device-router/middleware-fastify @device-router/storage @fastify/cookie

For automatic probe injection:

pnpm add @device-router/probe

Quick start

import Fastify from 'fastify';
import cookie from '@fastify/cookie';
import { createDeviceRouter } from '@device-router/middleware-fastify';
import { MemoryStorageAdapter } from '@device-router/storage';

const app = Fastify();
const { plugin, probeEndpoint } = createDeviceRouter({
  storage: new MemoryStorageAdapter(),
});

await app.register(cookie);
await app.register(plugin);

app.post('/device-router/probe', probeEndpoint);

app.get('/', (req, reply) => {
  const profile = req.deviceProfile;

  if (profile?.hints.preferServerRendering) {
    return reply.send(renderSSR());
  }
  if (profile?.hints.deferHeavyComponents) {
    return reply.send(renderLite());
  }
  reply.send(renderFull());
});

app.listen({ port: 3000 });

How it works

• Probe endpoint receives device signals from the browser and stores a classified profile
• Plugin registers a preHandler hook that reads the session cookie, loads the profile from storage, and attaches it to req.deviceProfile
• Your route handlers use req.deviceProfile.hints and req.deviceProfile.tiers to adapt responses

Probe auto-injection

Automatically inject the probe <script> into HTML responses:

const { plugin, probeEndpoint, injectionHook } = createDeviceRouter({
  storage: new MemoryStorageAdapter(),
  injectProbe: true,
  probeNonce: 'my-csp-nonce', // optional
});

When injectProbe is enabled, the plugin registers an onSend hook that injects the script before </head>.

Custom thresholds

const { plugin, probeEndpoint } = createDeviceRouter({
  storage,
  thresholds: {
    cpu: { lowUpperBound: 4, midUpperBound: 8 },
    memory: { midUpperBound: 8 },
  },
});
