Supported Features

Because we are using an Nx plugin for Fastify, all the features of Nx are available.

Create a New Workspace with a Fastify App

If you're starting from scratch, you can use a preset to get you started quickly.

npx create-nx-workspace@latest --preset=node-monorepo --framework=fastify --appName=fastify-api

Then you can skip to the Create a Library section.

If you are adding Fastify to an existing repo, continue to the next section.

Install the Node Plugin

{% tabs %} {%tab label="npm"%}

npm i --save-dev @nx/node

{% /tab %} {%tab label="yarn"%}

yarn add --dev @nx/node

{% /tab %} {% /tabs %}

Create an Application

Use the app generator to create a new Fastify app.

{% callout type="note" title="Directory Flag Behavior Changes" %} The command below uses the as-provided directory flag behavior, which is the default in Nx 16.8.0. If you're on an earlier version of Nx or using the derived option, omit the --directory flag. See the workspace layout documentation for more details. {% /callout %}

nx g @nx/node:app fastify-api --directory=apps/fastify-api

Serve the API by running

nx serve fastify-api

This starts the application on localhost:3000/api by default.

Create a Library

To create a new library, run:

nx g @nx/node:lib my-lib --directory=libs/my-lib

Once the library is created, update the following files.

export function someFunction(): string {
  return 'some function';
}

import { someFunction } from '@my-org/my-lib';
import { FastifyInstance, FastifyRequest, FastifyReply } from 'fastify';

export default async function (fastify: FastifyInstance) {
  fastify.get(
    '/',
    async function (request: FastifyRequest, reply: FastifyReply) {
      return { message: 'Hello API ' + someFunction };
    }
  );
}

Now when you serve your API, you'll see the content from the library being displayed.
