Fastify 路由中的正则表达式不匹配

Question

I decided to port my code from Express to Fastify. So this is a big headache when we haven't set proper testing.

Anyway, the route is declared as:

fastify.get(/^\/(donations|skills|blogs)/, async function (req, reply) {

It was working in Express but in Fastify it is returning 404. I'm sure it has to do with regex itself as other routes inside the same plugin/file/ are working properly.

It is supposed to match /listings/donations or listings/skills ... knowing that /listings is the prefix when attaching the whole routing plugin to the app.

Regex working

Answer 1

To reply to your answer, you can't provide a RegExp object to Fastify. You need to set a path-parameter within a RegExp:

const fastify = require('fastify')({ logger: true })

const handler = async (request, reply) => {
  return { hello: request.params.foo }
}

fastify.get('/listings/:foo(^(donations|skills|blogs)$)', handler)
fastify.listen(8080)

(I think you should get an error for your setup so I opened an issue )

As a suggestion you should not do it: you will hit a performance drop cause of this regexp. I would suggest you write it like so:

fastify.get('/listings/donations)', handler)
fastify.get('/listings/skills)', handler)
fastify.get('/listings/blogs', handler)

Let the router does its job.

Here is the performance comparison:
