[](https://github.com/sumitYewale/fastify-snippets/blob/HEAD/ https:/marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sumit-fastify-snippets.fastify-snippet)

A collection of essential code snippets to supercharge your Fastify development in Visual Studio Code. Write less, code more!

✨ Features

This extension provides a comprehensive set of snippets for common Fastify patterns, allowing you to quickly scaffold:

• Fastify Server Instances: Get a basic server up and running instantly.
• HTTP Routes: Easily create GET, POST, PUT, DELETE routes and more.
• Plugins: Boilerplate for creating and registering Fastify plugins.
• Hooks: Quickly add onRequest, preHandler, onSend and other lifecycle hooks.
• Decorators: Speed up the addition of custom properties/methods to FastifyInstance, FastifyRequest, or FastifyReply.
• Accessing Decorated Functions: Quickly call custom functions added to the fastify instance, request, or reply objects.
• Error Handling: Common patterns for custom error handlers.
• Reply Utilities: Snippets for common reply methods like send, status, redirect.
• JSON Schemas: Basic structures for defining validation schemas.

🚀 Installation

1. Open Visual Studio Code.
2. Go to Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X).
3. Search for "Fastify Snippets".
4. Click "Install".

Alternatively, install directly from the VS Code Marketplace.

💡 Usage

Start typing any of the prefixes below in a JavaScript file (.js) or a JavaScript-enabled region (e.g., inside <script> tags in an HTML file). VS Code's IntelliSense will suggest the snippet. Press Tab to expand it.

Many snippets include tab stops ($1, $2, etc.) and placeholder values to guide you. Press Tab repeatedly to jump between these points and fill in your custom details. Some even offer choices (e.g., get|post|put) that you can select from.

Snippet Examples

| Prefix | Description | Example Output | | :-------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | fserver | Basic Fastify server instance with a root route and logger. | js\nconst fastify = require('fastify')({ logger: true })\n\nfastify.get('/', async (request, reply) => {\n return { hello: 'world' }\n})\n\n// ... server start logic\n | | froute | Generic Fastify route handler (choose method). | js\nfastify.get('/path', async (request, reply) => {\n // Your route logic here\n return { status: 'success' }\n})\n | | fpost | Fastify POST route handler with request body. | js\nfastify.post('/path', async (request, reply) => {\n const body = request.body\n // Handle POST request with body\n return { message: 'Data created', data: body }\n})\n | | fplugin | Boilerplate for a Fastify plugin using fastify-plugin. | js\nconst fp = require('fastify-plugin')\n\nmodule.exports = fp(async function (fastify, opts) {\n // Your plugin logic here\n}, { name: 'my-fastify-plugin' })\n | | fplugindecorate | Boilerplate for a Fastify plugin that adds a decorator to the Fastify instance. | js\nconst fp = require('fastify-plugin')\n\nasync function myPluginName (fastify, opts) {\n fastify.decorate('myDecoratorName', function (arg) { /* ... */ })\n}\n\nmodule.exports = fp(myPluginName, { name: 'my-plugin-name' })\n | | fhookonrequest | Add an onRequest hook. | js\nfastify.addHook('onRequest', async (request, reply) => {\n fastify.log.info(`Incoming request for ${request.method} ${request.url}`)\n})\n | | fdecorate | Decorate the Fastify instance with a new property or method. | js\nfastify.decorate('myUtility', function () {\n return 'Decorated value'\n})\n | | fastify.myDecoratorName | Access and call a function decorated onto the Fastify instance. | js\nconst result = fastify.myDecoratorName('value')\n | | fcallrequestfn | Access and call a function decorated onto the Fastify Request object. | js\nconst result = request.myRequestDecoratorName()\n | | fcallreplyfn | Access and call a function decorated onto the Fastify Reply object. | js\nreply.myReplyDecoratorName(data)\n | | ferrorhandler | Custom Fastify error handler (with validation example). | js\nfastify.setErrorHandler(async (error, request, reply) => {\n if (error.validation) { /* ... */ } else { /* ... */ }\n})\n | | fjsonschemaobject | Basic JSON Schema object structure. | json\n{\n type: 'object',\n properties: { propertyName: { type: 'string' } },\n required: ['propertyName']\n}\n | (Note: The examples above are simplified for readability. Full snippet output includes proper indentation and all defined tab stops.)
