This library, `super-simple-fastify-server`, currently at version 1.0.0, provides a lightweight and opinionated wrapper around the Fastify web framework. It is designed for rapidly spinning up temporary or local development servers with minimal boilerplate and configuration, making it ideal for testing, prototyping, or quickly standing up mock APIs. The package's primary goal is to simplify server creation by abstracting common Fastify setup, allowing developers to focus solely on defining routes. It features configurable host and port settings that can be controlled via constructor options or environment variables, prioritizing ease of use over extensive customization. While new and without an established release cadence, it offers a stable API for its current scope and ships with TypeScript type definitions for enhanced developer experience. A key differentiator is its minimal footprint, leveraging Fastify and `pino-pretty` as peer dependencies, giving users control over specific versions of these core components.
npm install super-simple-fastify-serverVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
This quickstart demonstrates how to initialize `SimpleFastifyServer`, define a basic GET route, and start the server on a specified host and port.
Ensure you install the peer dependencies: `npm install fastify pino-pretty` (or `--save-dev` if used as a dev dependency).
Always explicitly pass `host` and `port` options to the constructor if you require specific values, or ensure that relevant environment variables are set or unset as desired.
For production deployments, consider a fully configured Fastify application with appropriate plugins for security, logging, metrics, and error handling.
Install Fastify: `npm install fastify`
Change the `port` option in the `SimpleFastifyServer` constructor or set the `SIMPLE_FASTIFY_SERVER_PORT` environment variable to an available port.
Use a named import: `import { SimpleFastifyServer } from 'super-simple-fastify-server';`
