Challenges to try after the workshop

Make the options for the Fastify server configurable

• Create a config.js script which uses the env-schema library
  • Configure it to read configuration from a .env file in development
  • Add configuration for the Fastify logger level and prettyPrint options
  • Default the setting which you define for level to info
  • Default the setting which you define for prettyPrint to false
  • Override these settings in a local .env file
• Import your config.js module in server.js and pass it to the buildApp() function
• Update the options object in the buildApp() function in app.js to use the configuration which has been passed to it

Generate the recipes schema with fluent-json-schema

• Generate the recipes schema in routes.js with the fluent-json-schema library instead of defining a raw JSON schema object.
