fastx

Fastx is a fastify route generator tool i made to skip the repeatitive process of creating new route files and copy code here and there. Thus, this tool handles it for me.

how to setup the tool

use curl to download the binary file:

curl -o fastx https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lumbrjx/fast-z/main/fastx

now you can check fastx -h show for user guide.

first you have to initialize the tool in your fastify project root folder by running:

fastx -i attach

you will have to specify the domains parent folder path e.g. /src/domains. the tool will generate a fastx.toml file in the same dir. there you can edit the domainPath field if you want to change the domains parent folder destination.

how to generate routes

You need to create a folder in the domains folder u specified earlier, then add a model.def.ts to it. the model.def.ts file will contain the routes zod schemas. each schema decalration should have a specific comment like this:

// --product,get,products,body,getProducts
export const ProductSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string().min(4).max(25),
  price: z.number().min(1).max(9999999999),
  is_available: z.boolean().default(true),
  description: z.string().min(10).max(300),
  category: z.string().min(4).max(25),
});

structure:

• product: the route endpoint
• get: the http method
• products: route prefix
• body: type of body (body, queryParams...)
• getProducts: file name

to generate a route simply run (in the root dir):

fastx -g <folder name>

in addition you can ignore some schemas by adding 'ign':

// ign --product,get,products,body,getProducts
export const ProductSchema = z.object({
  name: z.string().min(4).max(25),
  price: z.number().min(1).max(9999999999),
  is_available: z.boolean().default(true),
  description: z.string().min(10).max(300),
  category: z.string().min(4).max(25),
});
