Introduction
Fastify is a web server framework like ExpressJS but with better performances.
The ecosystem is pretty cool, he adds multiple plugins. But in this first test, I only add fastify-static for getting .html files.
Let's code !
At the first time, create a void folder and install Fastify and fastify-static.
npm i fastify fastify-static
Create an app.js, it's your root file.
Into the app.js
You can write the basis of this file for creating a new Fastify server.
const path = require("path")
const f = require('fastify')({logger: false})
f.register(require('fastify-static'), {
root: path.join(__dirname, 'public'),
prefix: '/public/',
})
// In this example, when you get localhost:3000, ou have the time
f.get('/', (request, reply) => {
reply.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
reply.send({hello: new Date()})
})
f.get('/about', (request, reply) => {
reply.sendFile('about.html' )
})
const start = async () => {
try {
await f.listen(3000)
} catch (err) {
f.log.error(err)
process.exit(1)
}
}
start().then(r => r)
Public HTML pages
Create a /public folder and a about.html file.
End
It's a very short post, but I demonstrate how to simply start a server with Fastify. As this is the first time I use it, there might be some errors. Don't hesitate to give me feedback in the comments ! ??
