API First going from Typebox to Swagger with Fastify (Sandbox)

Features

• Fastify + Typebox + TypeScript
• Generated Swagger Schema based on registered routes and Typebox schemas
• Swagger UI

Usage

• npm run start and then, via httpie or cURL:
  • GET all users http localhost:8080/users?name=Taylor
  • CREATE new user http POST localhost:8080/users name=Alex
  • Check the generate Schema: http GET http://localhost:8080/docs/json
  • View the Swagger UI

Troubleshooting

• Take care to always add routes inside a .register block. Otherwise swagger does not seem to pick up on them.

Created via

• npm init -y
• npm i fastify
• npm i -D typescript @types/node ts-node
• npx tsc --init and configure outdir: "dist", "target": "es2017" and other smaller things.
• mkdir src && touch src/index.ts and put code from fastify swagger.
• Add "build": "tsc" and "start": "ts-node src/server.ts" to package.json.
• npm i @sinclair/typebox @fastify/type-provider-typebox @fastify/swagger and add /users with schema to src/index.ts according to the official docs
