fastify-static

Plugin for serving static files as fast as possible. Supports Fastify versions >=2.0.0.

Please refer to this branch and related versions for Fastify ^1.11.0 compatibility.

Install

npm install --save fastify-static

Usage

const fastify = require('fastify')()
const path = require('path')

fastify.register(require('fastify-static'), {
  root: path.join(__dirname, 'public'),
  prefix: '/public/', // optional: default '/'
})

fastify.get('/another/path', function (req, reply) {
  reply.sendFile('myHtml.html') // serving path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'myHtml.html') directly
})

fastify.get('/path/with/different/root', function (req, reply) {
  reply.sendFile('myHtml.html', path.join(__dirname, 'build')) // serving a file from a different root location
})

Options

root (required)

The absolute path of the directory that contains the files to serve. The file to serve will be determined by combining req.url with the provided root directory.

prefix

Default: '/'

A URL path prefix used to create a virtual mount path for the static directory.

prefixAvoidTrailingSlash

Default: false

If set to false prefix will get trailing "/" at the end. If set to true, prefix will not append "/" to prefix.

schemaHide

Default: true

A flag that define if the fastify route hide-schema attribute is hidden or not

setHeaders

Default: undefined

A function to set custom headers on the response. Alterations to the headers must be done synchronously. The function is called as fn(res, path, stat), where the arguments are:

• res The response object.
• path The path of the file that is being sent.
• stat The stat object of the file that is being sent.

send Options

The following options are also supported and will be passed directly to the send module:

• acceptRanges
• cacheControl
• dotfiles
• etag
• extensions
• immutable
• index
• lastModified
• maxAge

redirect

Default: false

If set to true, fastify-static redirects to the directory with a trailing slash.

This option cannot be set to true with wildcard set to false on a server with ignoreTrailingSlash set to true.

If this option is set to false, then requesting directories without trailing slash will trigger your app's 404 handler using reply.callNotFound().

wildcard

Default: true

If set to true, fastify-static adds a wildcard route to serve files. If set to false, fastify-static globs the filesystem for all defined files in the served folder (${root}/**/*), and just creates the routes needed for those. If set to a glob string pattern, fastify-static will use the provided string when globing the filesystem (${root}/${wildcard}).

The default options of https://www.npmjs.com/package/glob are applied for getting the file list.

This option cannot be set to false with redirect set to true on a server with ignoreTrailingSlash set to true.

Disable serving

If you'd just like to use the reply decorator and not serve whole directories automatically, you can simply pass the option { serve: false }. This will prevent the plugin from serving everything under root.

Disabling reply decorator

The reply object is decorated with a sendFile function by default. If you want to disable this, pass the option { decorateReply: false }. If fastify-static is registers to multiple prefixes in the same route only one can initialize reply decorators.

Handling 404s

If a request matches the URL prefix but a file cannot be found for the request, Fastify's 404 handler will be called. You can set a custom 404 handler with fastify.setNotFoundHandler().

Handling Errors

If an error occurs while trying to send a file, the error will be passed to Fastify's error handler. You can set a custom error handler with fastify.setErrorHandler().

Payload stream.filename

If you need to access the filename inside the onSend hook, you can use payload.filename.

fastify.addHook('onSend', function (req, reply, payload, next) {
  console.log(payload.filename)
  next()
})
