## Prerequisites

| Tool | Notes |
|---|---|
| **Node.js** | >= 24 — required for native TypeScript execution. A `.nvmrc` is included — run `fnm use` or `nvm use` |
| **pnpm** | >= 10 — package manager (`corepack enable` to activate) |
| **Docker** | Used to run PostgreSQL via Docker Compose. Alternatively, use a local Postgres install |

## Getting Started

```bash
# 1. Scaffold from the template
npx degit marcoturi/fastify-boilerplate my-app
cd my-app

# 2. Install dependencies
pnpm install

# 3. Create your .env file
pnpm create:env          # copies .env.example → .env

# 4. Start PostgreSQL (pick one)
docker compose up postgres -d   # via Docker Compose
# — or use a local Postgres and adjust .env values —

# 5. Run database migrations
pnpm db:migrate

# 6. Start the dev server (with watch mode and pretty logs)
pnpm start
```

The server starts at **http://localhost:3000** by default. See [API Endpoints](#api-endpoints) for what's available.

## Architecture

![Architecture Diagram](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcoturi/fastify-boilerplate/main/doc/images/fastify-boilerplate.png)
<sup>Diagram adapted from [Domain-Driven Hexagon](https://github.com/Sairyss/domain-driven-hexagon)</sup>

### Principles

**Project-level:**

- **Adaptable complexity** — the structure scales up or down by adding or removing layers to match the application's actual needs.
- **Future-proofing** — framework code and business logic are separated. Dependencies are well-established and minimal.
- **Functional programming first** — composition and factory functions over classes and inheritance.
- **Microservices-ready** — vertical slices, path aliases, and CQRS make it straightforward to extract a module into its own service later.

**Code-level:**

- **Framework-agnostic core** — business logic has no Fastify dependency. Fastify concerns stay in routes.
- **Protocol-agnostic handlers** — command/query handlers serve REST, GraphQL, gRPC, or CLI equally.
- **Database-agnostic domain** — SQL stays in repository files. Handlers interact with data through repository ports (interfaces).
- **Inward dependency flow** — outer layers depend on inner layers, never the reverse: `Route → Handler → Domain → Repository`.

Based on:

- [Domain-Driven Design (DDD)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-driven_design)
- [Hexagonal (Ports and Adapters) Architecture](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_architecture_(software)>)
- [Clean Architecture](https://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2012/08/13/the-clean-architecture.html)
- [Onion Architecture](https://herbertograca.com/2017/09/21/onion-architecture/)
- [SOLID Principles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOLID)
- [Vertical Slice Architecture](https://www.jimmybogard.com/vertical-slice-architecture/)
- [Common Closure Principle (CCP)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_closure_principle)

### Modules

Each module maps to a domain concept and lives in its own folder under `src/modules/`. Modules follow the [vertical slice architecture](https://www.jimmybogard.com/vertical-slice-architecture/) — everything a feature needs is co-located.

**Key rules:**

- **No direct imports** between modules. Cross-module communication uses the CQRS buses (commands/queries for request-response, events for fire-and-forget).
- **Extractable** — any module can be pulled into a separate microservice. The CQRS handler boundary becomes the network boundary.
- **If two modules are too "chatty"**, they probably belong together — merge them.

> **CQRS:** see [doc/CQRS.md](doc/CQRS.md) for how the command, query, and event buses work — actions, handlers, middlewares, ordered per-key events, and worked examples.

### Module Components

Each layer has a single responsibility:

**Route** — handles the HTTP/GraphQL/gRPC request. Validates input, formats the response. No business logic.

> All REST routes are prefixed with `/api` (configured in `src/server/index.ts`).

Example: [find-users.route.ts](src/modules/user/queries/find-users/find-users.route.ts)

**Command/Query Handler** — orchestrates the use case. Receives a command or query, calls domain services and repositories through ports, returns a result. One handler per use case (e.g. `CreateUser`, `FindUsers`).

Benefits of the CQRS bus pattern:
- **Middlewares** — cross-cutting concerns (auth, caching, tracing, rate limiting) plug in between route and handler. Middleware targeting is pattern-based (e.g. `users/*` for all user commands, `users/create` for a specific one). See [middlewares.ts](src/shared/cqrs/middlewares.ts).
- **Decoupling** — modules communicate through the bus instead of direct imports, making future extraction to microservices trivial.

Example: [find-users.handler.ts](src/modules/user/queries/find-users/find-users.handler.ts)

**Domain Service** — pure business logic. Computes properties, enforces invariants, composes entities. No infrastructure dependencies.

Example: [user.domain.ts](src/modules/user/domain/user.domain.ts)

**Repository** — data access. Converts between domain models and database rows. All SQL lives here. Implements a port (interface) defined alongside it.

Example: [user.repository.ts](src/modules/user/database/user.repository.ts)

> **Guideline:** use as many or as few layers as needed. Not every feature requires a domain service — simpler CRUD operations can go straight from handler to repository.

## OpenTelemetry

The project ships with a vendor-agnostic [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) setup in [`src/instrumentation.ts`](src/instrumentation.ts). It uses the standard [OTLP](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otlp/) protocol, so it works with any backend (Grafana, Datadog, Honeycomb, Jaeger, etc.) without code changes.

**How it works:**

- **HTTP + Fastify** — the SDK registers the [ESM loader hook](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-js/blob/main/doc/esm-support.md) and initialises with `instrumentation-http` and [`@fastify/otel`](https://github.com/fastify/otel). Every request gets a trace span with route, method, status code, and lifecycle hooks.
- **CQRS** — a tracing middleware in [`src/shared/cqrs/otel-middleware.ts`](src/shared/cqrs/otel-middleware.ts) wraps every command, query, and event in a span. Spans include the action type, bus kind, and correlation ID.
- **Disabled by default** (`OTEL_SDK_DISABLED=true`). When disabled, `@opentelemetry/api` returns noop implementations — zero overhead.

To enable, set the standard OTel environment variables in your `.env`:

```bash
OTEL_SDK_DISABLED=false
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME=fastify-boilerplate
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:4318   # your OTLP collector
```

All configuration uses [standard OTel environment variables](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/sdk-configuration/general/) — no vendor lock-in.

## Testing

### Unit and integration tests

Run with `node:test`. Test files live next to their source files as `*.spec.ts`.

```bash
pnpm test:unit           # run tests
pnpm test:coverage       # run with c8 coverage
```

### E2E tests

Written in [Gherkin](https://cucumber.io/docs/gherkin/) and executed with [Cucumber.js](https://cucumber.io/docs/installation/javascript/). Scenarios live in `tests/<feature>/<scenario>.feature`, step definitions in `tests/<feature>/<feature>.steps.ts`.

```bash
# Requires a running Postgres with migrations applied
pnpm test:e2e
```

The E2E test server is created via `buildApp()` (in `tests/support/server.ts`) — it boots a full Fastify instance without binding to a port, so tests run fast and don't conflict with a running dev server.

### Load tests

[k6](https://github.com/grafana/k6) scripts live alongside their feature's E2E tests.

Example: [create-user.k6.ts](tests/user/create-user/create-user.k6.ts)

## Client Types Package

The release pipeline automatically generates **REST** (OpenAPI) and **GraphQL** client types and publishes them as the [`@marcoturi/fastify-boilerplate`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@marcoturi/fastify-boilerplate) npm package. The version is kept in sync with the backend via semantic-release.

### Install

```bash
pnpm add -D @marcoturi/fastify-boilerplate
```

### Usage

```typescript
// REST types (generated by openapi-typescript)
import type { paths, components } from '@marcoturi/fastify-boilerplate/rest';

// GraphQL types (generated by graphql-codegen)
import type { User, Query, Mutation } from '@marcoturi/fastify-boilerplate/graphql';
```

### Generate locally

To regenerate the types against a local server (requires running Postgres with migrations applied):

```bash
pnpm generate:types
```

This starts the server, fetches the OpenAPI and GraphQL schemas, writes the type files to `client/`, and stops the server.

## CI/CD Pipeline

The project uses GitHub Actions with two workflows:

**[release.yml](.github/workflows/release.yml)** — runs on every push to `main`:

1. Install dependencies (`pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`)
2. Code quality checks (`pnpm check`)
3. Unit tests (`pnpm test`)
4. E2E tests (`pnpm test:e2e`) against a Postgres service container
5. Generate client types (`pnpm generate:types`)
6. Publish release via semantic-release (changelog, GitHub release, npm client package)

**[codeql-analysis.yml](.github/workflows/codeql-analysis.yml)** — runs on pushes and PRs to `main`:

- GitHub CodeQL security analysis for JavaScript/TypeScript

## AI-Assisted Development

This project ships with an [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md) file — a comprehensive guide for AI coding assistants. It documents the architecture, CQRS patterns, coding conventions, and common pitfalls so that tools like [Cursor](https://cursor.com/), [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), and [GitHub Copilot](https://github.com/features/copilot) can generate code that follows the project's established patterns.

AI assistants automatically pick up `AGENTS.md` and apply the conventions without manual prompting.

## Why Biome over ESLint + Prettier?

This project uses [Biome](https://biomejs.dev/) as a single tool for linting, formatting, and import sorting:

- **One tool, zero plugins** — no `@typescript-eslint/parser`, `eslint-config-prettier`, `eslint-plugin-import`, or other ecosystem packages to keep in sync.
- **Fast** — written in Rust, orders of magnitude faster than ESLint + Prettier. Noticeable in CI and pre-commit hooks.
- **Stable** — no more breakage from mismatched plugin versions or peer dependency conflicts across the ESLint ecosystem.
- **Mature** — covers the vast majority of rules that ESLint + typescript-eslint provide, with a growing community and clear roadmap.
