### Introduction
|
|
<a id="introduction"></a>
|
|
|
|
The second parameter of the handler function is `Reply`. Reply is a core Fastify
|
|
object that exposes the following functions and properties:
|
|
|
|
- `.code(statusCode)` - Sets the status code.
|
|
- `.status(statusCode)` - An alias for `.code(statusCode)`.
|
|
- `.statusCode` - Read and set the HTTP status code.
|
|
- `.server` - A reference to the fastify instance object.
|
|
- `.header(name, value)` - Sets a response header.
|
|
- `.headers(object)` - Sets all the keys of the object as response headers.
|
|
- `.getHeader(name)` - Retrieve value of already set header.
|
|
- `.getHeaders()` - Gets a shallow copy of all current response headers.
|
|
- `.removeHeader(key)` - Remove the value of a previously set header.
|
|
- `.hasHeader(name)` - Determine if a header has been set.
|
|
- `.trailer(key, function)` - Sets a response trailer.
|
|
- `.hasTrailer(key)` - Determine if a trailer has been set.
|
|
- `.removeTrailer(key)` - Remove the value of a previously set trailer.
|
|
- `.type(value)` - Sets the header `Content-Type`.
|
|
- `.redirect([code,] dest)` - Redirect to the specified url, the status code is
|
|
optional (default to `302`).
|
|
- `.callNotFound()` - Invokes the custom not found handler.
|
|
- `.serialize(payload)` - Serializes the specified payload using the default
|
|
JSON serializer or using the custom serializer (if one is set) and returns the
|
|
serialized payload.
|
|
- `.serializer(function)` - Sets a custom serializer for the payload.
|
|
- `.send(payload)` - Sends the payload to the user, could be a plain text, a
|
|
buffer, JSON, stream, or an Error object.
|
|
- `.sent` - A boolean value that you can use if you need to know if `send` has
|
|
already been called.
|
|
- `.raw` - The
|
|
[`http.ServerResponse`](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v14.x/docs/api/http.html#http_class_http_serverresponse)
|
|
from Node core.
|
|
- `.res` *(deprecated, use `.raw` instead)* - The
|
|
[`http.ServerResponse`](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v14.x/docs/api/http.html#http_class_http_serverresponse)
|
|
from Node core.
|
|
- `.log` - The logger instance of the incoming request.
|
|
- `.request` - The incoming request.
|
|
- `.context` - Access the [Request's context](./Request.md) property.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
fastify.get('/', options, function (request, reply) {
|
|
// Your code
|
|
reply
|
|
.code(200)
|
|
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=utf-8')
|
|
.send({ hello: 'world' })
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Additionally, `Reply` provides access to the context of the request:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
fastify.get('/', {config: {foo: 'bar'}}, function (request, reply) {
|
|
reply.send('handler config.foo = ' + reply.context.config.foo)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### .code(statusCode)
|
|
<a id="code"></a>
|
|
|
|
If not set via `reply.code`, the resulting `statusCode` will be `200`.
|
|
|
|
### .statusCode
|
|
<a id="statusCode"></a>
|
|
|
|
This property reads and sets the HTTP status code. It is an alias for
|
|
`reply.code()` when used as a setter.
|
|
```js
|
|
if (reply.statusCode >= 299) {
|
|
reply.statusCode = 500
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### .server
|
|
<a id="server"></a>
|
|
|
|
The Fastify server instance, scoped to the current [encapsulation
|
|
context](./Encapsulation.md).
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
fastify.decorate('util', function util () {
|
|
return 'foo'
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
fastify.get('/', async function (req, rep) {
|
|
return rep.server.util() // foo
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### .header(key, value)
|
|
<a id="header"></a>
|
|
|
|
Sets a response header. If the value is omitted or undefined, it is coerced to
|
|
`''`.
|
|
|
|
For more information, see
|
|
[`http.ServerResponse#setHeader`](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v14.x/docs/api/http.html#http_response_setheader_name_value).
|
|
|
|
- ### set-cookie
|
|
<a id="set-cookie"></a>
|
|
|
|
- When sending different values as a cookie with `set-cookie` as the key,
|
|
every value will be sent as a cookie instead of replacing the previous
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
reply.header('set-cookie', 'foo');
|
|
reply.header('set-cookie', 'bar');
|
|
```
|
|
- The browser will only consider the latest reference of a key for the
|
|
`set-cookie` header. This is done to avoid parsing the `set-cookie` header
|
|
when added to a reply and speeds up the serialization of the reply.
|
|
|
|
- To reset the `set-cookie` header, you need to make an explicit call to
|
|
`reply.removeHeader('set-cookie')`, read more about `.removeHeader(key)`
|
|
[here](#removeheaderkey).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### .headers(object)
|
|
<a id="headers"></a>
|
|
|
|
Sets all the keys of the object as response headers.
|
|
[`.header`](#headerkey-value) will be called under the hood.
|
|
```js
|
|
reply.headers({
|
|
'x-foo': 'foo',
|
|
'x-bar': 'bar'
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### .getHeader(key)
|
|
<a id="getHeader"></a>
|
|
|
|
Retrieves the value of a previously set header.
|
|
```js
|
|
reply.header('x-foo', 'foo') // setHeader: key, value
|
|
reply.getHeader('x-foo') // 'foo'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### .getHeaders()
|
|
<a id="getHeaders"></a>
|
|
|
|
Gets a shallow copy of all current response headers, including those set via the
|
|
raw `http.ServerResponse`. Note that headers set via Fastify take precedence
|
|
over those set via `http.ServerResponse`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
reply.header('x-foo', 'foo')
|
|
reply.header('x-bar', 'bar')
|
|
reply.raw.setHeader('x-foo', 'foo2')
|
|
reply.getHeaders() // { 'x-foo': 'foo', 'x-bar': 'bar' }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### .removeHeader(key)
|
|
<a id="getHeader"></a>
|
|
|
|
Remove the value of a previously set header.
|
|
```js
|
|
reply.header('x-foo', 'foo')
|
|
reply.removeHeader('x-foo')
|
|
reply.getHeader('x-foo') // undefined
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### .hasHeader(key)
|
|
<a id="hasHeader"></a>
|
|
|
|
Returns a boolean indicating if the specified header has been set.
|
|
|
|
### .trailer(key, function)
|
|
<a id="trailer"></a>
|
|
|
|
Sets a response trailer. Trailer usually used when you want some header that require heavy resources to be sent after the `data`, for example `Server-Timing`, `Etag`. It can ensure the client get the response data as soon as possible.
|
|
|
|
*Note: The header `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` will be added once you use the trailer. It is a hard requipment for using trailer in Node.js.*
|
|
|
|
*Note: Currently, the computation function only supports synchronous function. That means `async-await` and `promise` are not supported.*
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
reply.trailer('server-timing', function() {
|
|
return 'db;dur=53, app;dur=47.2'
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
const { createHash } = require('crypto')
|
|
// trailer function also recieve two argument
|
|
// @param {object} reply fastify reply
|
|
// @param {string|Buffer|null} payload payload that already sent, note that it will be null when stream is sent
|
|
reply.trailer('content-md5', function(reply, payload) {
|
|
const hash = createHash('md5')
|
|
hash.update(payload)
|
|
return hash.disgest('hex')
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### .hasTrailer(key)
|
|
<a id="hasTrailer"></a>
|
|
|
|
Returns a boolean indicating if the specified trailer has been set.
|
|
|
|
### .removeTrailer(key)
|
|
<a id="removeTrailer"></a>
|
|
|
|
Remove the value of a previously set trailer.
|
|
```js
|
|
reply.trailer('server-timing', function() {
|
|
return 'db;dur=53, app;dur=47.2'
|
|
})
|
|
reply.removeTrailer('server-timing')
|
|
reply.getTrailer('server-timing') // undefined
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### .redirect([code ,] dest)
|
|
<a id="redirect"></a>
|
|
|
|
Redirects a request to the specified URL, the status code is optional, default
|
|
to `302` (if status code is not already set by calling `code`).
|
|
|
|
Example (no `reply.code()` call) sets status code to `302` and redirects to
|
|
`/home`
|
|
```js
|
|
reply.redirect('/home')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example (no `reply.code()` call) sets status code to `303` and redirects to
|
|
`/home`
|
|
```js
|
|
reply.redirect(303, '/home')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example (`reply.code()` call) sets status code to `303` and redirects to `/home`
|
|
```js
|
|
reply.code(303).redirect('/home')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example (`reply.code()` call) sets status code to `302` and redirects to `/home`
|
|
```js
|
|
reply.code(303).redirect(302, '/home')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### .callNotFound()
|
|
<a id="call-not-found"></a>
|
|
|
|
Invokes the custom not found handler. Note that it will only call `preHandler`
|
|
hook specified in [`setNotFoundHandler`](./Server.md#set-not-found-handler).
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
reply.callNotFound()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### .getResponseTime()
|
|
<a id="getResponseTime"></a>
|
|
|
|
Invokes the custom response time getter to calculate the amount of time passed
|
|
since the request was started.
|
|
|
|
Note that unless this function is called in the [`onResponse`
|
|
hook](./Hooks.md#onresponse) it will always return `0`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const milliseconds = reply.getResponseTime()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### .type(contentType)
|
|
<a id="type"></a>
|
|
|
|
Sets the content type for the response. This is a shortcut for
|
|
`reply.header('Content-Type', 'the/type')`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
reply.type('text/html')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### .serializer(func)
|
|
<a id="serializer"></a>
|
|
|
|
`.send()` will by default JSON-serialize any value that is not one of: `Buffer`,
|
|
`stream`, `string`, `undefined`, `Error`. If you need to replace the default
|
|
serializer with a custom serializer for a particular request, you can do so with
|
|
the `.serializer()` utility. Be aware that if you are using a custom serializer,
|
|
you must set a custom `'Content-Type'` header.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
reply
|
|
.header('Content-Type', 'application/x-protobuf')
|
|
.serializer(protoBuf.serialize)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that you don't need to use this utility inside a `handler` because Buffers,
|
|
streams, and strings (unless a serializer is set) are considered to already be
|
|
serialized.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
reply
|
|
.header('Content-Type', 'application/x-protobuf')
|
|
.send(protoBuf.serialize(data))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [`.send()`](#send) for more information on sending different types of
|
|
values.
|
|
|
|
### .raw
|
|
<a id="raw"></a>
|
|
|
|
This is the
|
|
[`http.ServerResponse`](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v14.x/docs/api/http.html#http_class_http_serverresponse)
|
|
from Node core. Whilst you are using the Fastify `Reply` object, the use of
|
|
`Reply.raw` functions is at your own risk as you are skipping all the Fastify
|
|
logic of handling the HTTP response. e.g.:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
app.get('/cookie-2', (req, reply) => {
|
|
reply.setCookie('session', 'value', { secure: false }) // this will not be used
|
|
|
|
// in this case we are using only the nodejs http server response object
|
|
reply.raw.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' })
|
|
reply.raw.write('ok')
|
|
reply.raw.end()
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
Another example of the misuse of `Reply.raw` is explained in
|
|
[Reply](#getheaders).
|
|
|
|
### .sent
|
|
<a id="sent"></a>
|
|
|
|
As the name suggests, `.sent` is a property to indicate if a response has been
|
|
sent via `reply.send()`.
|
|
|
|
In case a route handler is defined as an async function or it returns a promise,
|
|
it is possible to set `reply.sent = true` to indicate that the automatic
|
|
invocation of `reply.send()` once the handler promise resolve should be skipped.
|
|
By setting `reply.sent = true`, an application claims full responsibility for
|
|
the low-level request and response. Moreover, hooks will not be invoked.
|
|
|
|
As an example:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
app.get('/', (req, reply) => {
|
|
reply.sent = true
|
|
reply.raw.end('hello world')
|
|
|
|
return Promise.resolve('this will be skipped')
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the handler rejects, the error will be logged.
|
|
|
|
### .hijack()
|
|
<a id="hijack"></a>
|
|
|
|
Sometimes you might need to halt the execution of the normal request lifecycle
|
|
and handle sending the response manually.
|
|
|
|
To achieve this, Fastify provides the `reply.hijack()` method that can be called
|
|
during the request lifecycle (At any point before `reply.send()` is called), and
|
|
allows you to prevent Fastify from sending the response, and from running the
|
|
remaining hooks (and user handler if the reply was hijacked before).
|
|
|
|
NB (*): If `reply.raw` is used to send a response back to the user, `onResponse`
|
|
hooks will still be executed
|
|
|
|
### .send(data)
|
|
<a id="send"></a>
|
|
|
|
As the name suggests, `.send()` is the function that sends the payload to the
|
|
end user.
|
|
|
|
#### Objects
|
|
<a id="send-object"></a>
|
|
|
|
As noted above, if you are sending JSON objects, `send` will serialize the
|
|
object with
|
|
[fast-json-stringify](https://www.npmjs.com/package/fast-json-stringify) if you
|
|
set an output schema, otherwise, `JSON.stringify()` will be used.
|
|
```js
|
|
fastify.get('/json', options, function (request, reply) {
|
|
reply.send({ hello: 'world' })
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Strings
|
|
<a id="send-string"></a>
|
|
|
|
If you pass a string to `send` without a `Content-Type`, it will be sent as
|
|
`text/plain; charset=utf-8`. If you set the `Content-Type` header and pass a
|
|
string to `send`, it will be serialized with the custom serializer if one is
|
|
set, otherwise, it will be sent unmodified (unless the `Content-Type` header is
|
|
set to `application/json; charset=utf-8`, in which case it will be
|
|
JSON-serialized like an object — see the section above).
|
|
```js
|
|
fastify.get('/json', options, function (request, reply) {
|
|
reply.send('plain string')
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Streams
|
|
<a id="send-streams"></a>
|
|
|
|
*send* can also handle streams out of the box. If you are sending a stream and
|
|
you have not set a `'Content-Type'` header, *send* will set it at
|
|
`'application/octet-stream'`.
|
|
```js
|
|
fastify.get('/streams', function (request, reply) {
|
|
const fs = require('fs')
|
|
const stream = fs.createReadStream('some-file', 'utf8')
|
|
reply.send(stream)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Buffers
|
|
<a id="send-buffers"></a>
|
|
|
|
If you are sending a buffer and you have not set a `'Content-Type'` header,
|
|
*send* will set it to `'application/octet-stream'`.
|
|
```js
|
|
const fs = require('fs')
|
|
fastify.get('/streams', function (request, reply) {
|
|
fs.readFile('some-file', (err, fileBuffer) => {
|
|
reply.send(err || fileBuffer)
|
|
})
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Errors
|
|
<a id="errors"></a>
|
|
|
|
If you pass to *send* an object that is an instance of *Error*, Fastify will
|
|
automatically create an error structured as the following:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
{
|
|
error: String // the HTTP error message
|
|
code: String // the Fastify error code
|
|
message: String // the user error message
|
|
statusCode: Number // the HTTP status code
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can add custom properties to the Error object, such as `headers`, that will
|
|
be used to enhance the HTTP response.
|
|
|
|
*Note: If you are passing an error to `send` and the statusCode is less than
|
|
400, Fastify will automatically set it at 500.*
|
|
|
|
Tip: you can simplify errors by using the
|
|
[`http-errors`](https://npm.im/http-errors) module or
|
|
[`@fastify/sensible`](https://github.com/fastify/fastify-sensible) plugin to
|
|
generate errors:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
fastify.get('/', function (request, reply) {
|
|
reply.send(httpErrors.Gone())
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To customize the JSON error output you can do it by:
|
|
|
|
- setting a response JSON schema for the status code you need
|
|
- add the additional properties to the `Error` instance
|
|
|
|
Notice that if the returned status code is not in the response schema list, the
|
|
default behaviour will be applied.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
fastify.get('/', {
|
|
schema: {
|
|
response: {
|
|
501: {
|
|
type: 'object',
|
|
properties: {
|
|
statusCode: { type: 'number' },
|
|
code: { type: 'string' },
|
|
error: { type: 'string' },
|
|
message: { type: 'string' },
|
|
time: { type: 'string' }
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}, function (request, reply) {
|
|
const error = new Error('This endpoint has not been implemented')
|
|
error.time = 'it will be implemented in two weeks'
|
|
reply.code(501).send(error)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
[`setErrorHandler`](./Server.md#seterrorhandler) API.
|
|
|
|
*Note: you are responsible for logging when customizing the error handler*
|
|
|
|
API:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
fastify.setErrorHandler(function (error, request, reply) {
|
|
request.log.warn(error)
|
|
var statusCode = error.statusCode >= 400 ? error.statusCode : 500
|
|
reply
|
|
.code(statusCode)
|
|
.type('text/plain')
|
|
.send(statusCode >= 500 ? 'Internal server error' : error.message)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The not found errors generated by the router will use the
|
|
[`setNotFoundHandler`](./Server.md#setnotfoundhandler)
|
|
|
|
API:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
fastify.setNotFoundHandler(function (request, reply) {
|
|
reply
|
|
.code(404)
|
|
.type('text/plain')
|
|
.send('a custom not found')
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Type of the final payload
|
|
<a id="payload-type"></a>
|
|
|
|
The type of the sent payload (after serialization and going through any
|
|
[`onSend` hooks](./Hooks.md#onsend)) must be one of the following
|
|
types, otherwise, an error will be thrown:
|
|
|
|
- `string`
|
|
- `Buffer`
|
|
- `stream`
|
|
- `undefined`
|
|
- `null`
|
|
|
|
#### Async-Await and Promises
|
|
<a id="async-await-promise"></a>
|
|
|
|
Fastify natively handles promises and supports async-await.
|
|
|
|
*Note that in the following examples we are not using reply.send.*
|
|
```js
|
|
const delay = promisify(setTimeout)
|
|
|
|
fastify.get('/promises', options, function (request, reply) {
|
|
return delay(200).then(() => { return { hello: 'world' }})
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
fastify.get('/async-await', options, async function (request, reply) {
|
|
await delay(200)
|
|
return { hello: 'world' }
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Rejected promises default to a `500` HTTP status code. Reject the promise, or
|
|
`throw` in an `async function`, with an object that has `statusCode` (or
|
|
`status`) and `message` properties to modify the reply.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
fastify.get('/teapot', async function (request, reply) {
|
|
const err = new Error()
|
|
err.statusCode = 418
|
|
err.message = 'short and stout'
|
|
throw err
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
fastify.get('/botnet', async function (request, reply) {
|
|
throw { statusCode: 418, message: 'short and stout' }
|
|
// will return to the client the same json
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to know more please review
|
|
[Routes#async-await](./Routes.md#async-await).
|
|
|
|
### .then(fulfilled, rejected)
|
|
<a id="then"></a>
|
|
|
|
As the name suggests, a `Reply` object can be awaited upon, i.e. `await reply`
|
|
will wait until the reply is sent. The `await` syntax calls the `reply.then()`.
|
|
|
|
`reply.then(fulfilled, rejected)` accepts two parameters:
|
|
|
|
- `fulfilled` will be called when a response has been fully sent,
|
|
- `rejected` will be called if the underlying stream had an error, e.g. the
|
|
socket has been destroyed.
