Do you enjoy writing applications with the hotwire pattern? We got you covered!

This plugin adds all the necessary utilities to Fastify for creating a fullstack application with Hotwire. Take a look at the example folder to see it in action!

npm i @fastify/hotwire

Add the plugin to Fastify, with at least two options:

• templates: the location of your folder with your templates
• filename: the location of your html generator, any templating language is supported!

// in your fastify app
fastify.register(require('@fastify/hotwire'), {
  templates: join(__dirname, 'views'),
  filename: join(__dirname, 'worker.js')
})

// worker.js
module.exports = ({ file, data, fragment }) => {
  // your favorite templating library
  return 'generated html'
}

Generates the entire initial page, it calls the worker with fragment: false

fastify.get('/', async (req, reply) => {
  return reply.render('filename', { data })
})

Every turbo stream action is supported: append, prepend, replace, update, remove. It generates and returns a turbo compatible fragment.

fastify.get('/', async (req, reply) => {
  const fragment = await reply.turboGenerate.append('filename', 'target', { data })
  // send it via SSE or websockets
})
