Installation

npm install fastify-fusion fastify

Usage

If you already have a Fastify app, you can use fuse to add the default options and plugins to your app.

import { fuse, FuseOptions } from 'fastify-fusion';
import Fastify from 'fastify';

const app = Fastify();

// Fuse the app. It will use the default options if none are provided. If you want to use your own options, pass them in as the second argument.

await fuse(app);

Want to just get your app up and running? You can use the fastify() function to create a new Fastify app with the default options.

import { fastify } from 'fastify-fusion';

const app = await fastify();

You can also pass in the FuseOptions to customize your fastify instance.

Fuse Options

You can customize the behavior of fastify-fusion by passing in options to the fuse function or when creating a new Fastify app with fastify().

import { fuse, FuseOptions } from 'fastify-fusion';
import Fastify from 'fastify';
const app = Fastify();
const options: FuseOptions = {
  cors: {
    origin: '*', // Allow all origins
  },
  helmet: {
    contentSecurityPolicy: false, // Disable CSP for simplicity
  },
  static: {
    path: '/static/', // Serve static files from /public
    dir: './static', // Path to the static files
  },
};
await fuse(app, options);

Here is the FuseOptions interface with all the available options:

export type FuseOptions = {
	static?: boolean | StaticOptions;
	log?: boolean | LoggerOptions;
	helmet?: boolean | FastifyHelmetOptions;
};

By default, all the options are set to true, which means that all of the default settings will be applied. You can learn about the default settings in each features's documentation below.

Static Paths

By default fastify-fusion serves static files from the ./public directory. You can change this by passing in a StaticOptions object to the fuse function. The default configuration serves static files from the /public path. Here is an example of how to customize the static file serving:

const defaultStaticPath = [
    {
        dir: path.resolve('./public'),
        path: '/',
    },
];

import { fuse, FuseOptions } from 'fastify-fusion';
import Fastify from 'fastify';
const app = Fastify();
const options: FuseOptions = {
  static: {
    dir: './static/', // Serve static files from /static
    path: '/static', // Path to the static files
  },
};
await fuse(app, options);

Logging

By default, fastify-fusion uses Pino for logging and configures it with sensible defaults. You can customize the logging behavior by passing in a LoggerOptions object to the fuse function. The default logging configuration uses pino-pretty and here are the default options:

export const defaultLoggingOptions = {
	transport: {
		target: 'pino-pretty',
		options: {
			colorize: true,
			translateTime: true,
			ignore: 'pid,hostname',
			singleLine: true,
		},
	},
};

Here is an example of how to customize the logging options:

import { fuse, FuseOptions } from 'fastify-fusion';
import Fastify from 'fastify';
const app = Fastify();
const options: FuseOptions = {
  log: {
    level: 'info', // Set the log level
    prettyPrint: true, // Enable pretty print for development
  },
};
await fuse(app, options);

Helmet

fastify-fusion uses fastify-helmet to set security headers by default. You can customize the behavior of fastify-helmet by passing in a FastifyHelmetOptions object to the fuse function. The default configuration sets the following headers:

export const defaultFastifyHelmetOptions: FastifyHelmetOptions = {
	// Turn off CSP (mostly for HTML) to avoid overhead
	contentSecurityPolicy: false,

	// Remove the X-Power-By header
	hidePoweredBy: true,

	// Prevent your API from being framed
	frameguard: {action: 'deny'},

	// Disable DNS prefetching
	dnsPrefetchControl: {allow: false},

	// Enable HSTS for one year on HTTPS endpoints
	hsts: {
		maxAge: 31_536_000, // 365 days in seconds
		includeSubDomains: true,
		preload: true,
	},

	// Block sniffing of MIME types
	noSniff: true,

	// Basic XSS protections
	xssFilter: true,

	// Don't send Referer at all
	referrerPolicy: {policy: 'no-referrer'},

	// Tighten cross-origin resource loading
	crossOriginResourcePolicy: {policy: 'same-origin'},

	// You generally don't need the embedder/policy on an API
	crossOriginEmbedderPolicy: false,

	// Leave CSP nonces off
	// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/naming-convention
	enableCSPNonces: false,
};

You can customize the security headers by passing in a FastifyHelmetOptions object to the fuse function. Here is an example of how to customize the helmet options:

import { fuse, FuseOptions } from 'fastify-fusion';
import Fastify from 'fastify';
const app = Fastify();
const options: FuseOptions = {
  helmet: {
    contentSecurityPolicy: false, // Disable CSP for simplicity
    crossOriginEmbedderPolicy: false, // Disable COEP for simplicity
  },
};
await fuse(app, options);
