fastify-prettier v2.0.0

fastify-prettier

A simple and lightweight beautifier plugin for Fastify.

fastify-prettier has support of beautifying payloads via query parameter to make responses more readable for developers/humans. Decoratorprettier can also be used anywhere in the fastify server as the content beautifier. The plugin itself uses prettier under the hood and is capable of parsing/formatting anything that prettier can.

fastify-prettier uses onSend fastify hook to beautify the response payload before it gets sent.

Note: streams and buffers are excluded in beautification process. Note: Fastify v4 support is shipped with v2.0.0.

Installation

$ npm install fastify-prettier

Usage

const fastify = require('fastify')()
const fastifyPrettier = require('fastify-prettier')

fastify.register(
  fastifyPrettier,
  {
    fallbackOnError: false
  }
)

fastify.get('/', (req, reply) => {
  const obj = {
    blackLivesMatter: true,
    favSinger: 'Ahmet Kaya'
  }

  reply
    .type('application/json')
    .send(obj)
})

fastify.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Fastify server is running on port: 3000')
})

// -------------------------------

// http://localhost:3000 -> will print out below result
/*
{"blackLivesMatter":true,"favSinger":"Ahmet Kaya"}
*/

// http://localhost:3000?pretty=true -> will print out below result
/*
{
  "blackLivesMatter": true,
  "favSinger": "Ahmet Kaya"
}
*/

You are allowed to change the query parameter option.

fastify.register(
  fastifyPrettier,
  {
    query: {
      name: 'beautify',
      value: 'yes'
    }
  }
)

// -------------------------------

// http://localhost:3000 -> will print out below result
/*
{"blackLivesMatter":true,"favSinger":"Ahmet Kaya"}
*/

// http://localhost:3000?beautify=yes -> will print out below result
/*
{
  "blackLivesMatter": true,
  "favSinger": "Ahmet Kaya"
}
*/

You can enable beautification for all outgoing payloads regardless the query parameter.

fastify.register(
  fastifyPrettier,
  {
    alwaysOn: true
  }
)

// -------------------------------

// http://localhost:3000 -> will print out below result
/*
{
  "blackLivesMatter": true,
  "favSinger": "Ahmet Kaya"
}
*/
