fastify-normalize-request-reply

NOTE

This plugin will not be updated for version Fastify 3.x, because of the internal changes that where made for how middleware is implemented in Fastify now.

NOTE

This plugin does not support Express middleware that goes beyond simple request and response interaction. If the Express middleware has a UI with a template engine view; utilizes the Express routers; or starts its own instance of Express, then it is not supported.

Description

A plugin for Fastify version 2.x that utilizes the Hook onRequest with addHook to normalize the Fastify request and reply to the Express version 4.x request and response. This allows middleware with interaction with the request and response that was originally written for Express to be be utilized within Fastify.

Install

npm install --save fastify-normalize-request-reply

Usage

Add it to you project with register and you are done!

// Register the plugin
fastify.register(require('fastify-normalize-request-reply'));

• etag: Varied : Set the ETag response header. For possible values, see the etag options table. (weak by default)
