fastify

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the development of robust, high-performance backend APIs using TypeScript and the Fastify framework, ensuring type safety, efficient validation, and secure request handling.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Schema-Driven Development: Leverage JSON schema with type providers (Zod/TypeBox) for automatic request validation and response serialization.
• Plugin Architecture: Organize code into encapsulated plugins for better maintainability and testability.
• Security Hardening: Implement essential security measures like CORS, Helmet, and rate limiting.
• Graceful Shutdown: Ensure applications shut down cleanly by handling signals.
• In-Memory Testing: Utilize Fastify's inject method for efficient and isolated route testing.
• Use Case: Develop a RESTful API for a user management system, ensuring all incoming data is validated against predefined schemas and sensitive operations are protected.

Quick Start

Create a basic Fastify server with schema validation for a GET request to '/search' using Zod.
