| ### 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)
 | |
| })
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you want to customize error handling, check out
 | |
| [`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.
