`fastify-custom-healthcheck` is a plugin for creating a health route with custom evaluations.


## Install

```bash
npm i fastify-custom-healthcheck
```

## Usage

Require the module and just register it as any other fastify plugin. From `fastify-custom-healthcheck` on decorator is going to be added to your server for adding custom health checks.

```javascript
const fastify = require('fastify')();
const customHealthCheck = require('fastify-custom-healthCheck');

fastify.register(customHealthCheck, options).then(() => {
    fastify.addHealthCheck('metric', () => {
        return new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 5000));
    });
});

fastify.listen(3000);
```

## API

### register plugin

```javascript
fastify.register(customHealthCheck, {
    path: '/health/check', // default health
    info: {}, // custom information object
});
```

### register options

-   `path`: path where you can reach health check route.
    -   default value: `'/health'`.
-   `info`: object where you can define custom information you would like to include in healthcheck response object.
-   exposeFailure: Flag that enables additional information to be presented in health check object when a check fails.
    -   default value: `false`
-   schema: If set to true, default schema is used for the route definition, if to false - no schema. If object is passed, it will be used as a schema. This can be used to enable support for custom type providers, e. g. zod or typebox. 
    -   default value: `true`

### Decorator

After registering plugin you can use the decorator for adding custom health checks.

```javascript
fastify.addHealthCheck(label, () => {}, { value: true });
```

### decorator options

-   value: If you add on `addHealthCheck` a value, when computing health check an equality check happens between evaluation and the value returned by the health check function. If the values are different health check fails.
