fastify-favicon

Fastify Plugin to serve the favicon.

With this plugin, Fastify will have a route configured for favicon (usually /favicon.ico) requests.

Usage

const fastify = require('fastify')()

// example without specifying options, searching favicon.ico from project root,
// otherwise returning a default favicon
fastify.register(require('fastify-favicon'))
// or
// example with custom path (usually relative to project root, but could be absolute),
// and custom name; all options are optional
fastify.register(require('fastify-favicon'), { path: './test', name: 'icon.ico', maxAge: 3600 })

fastify.listen({ port: 3000, host: 'localhost' })
// curl http://127.0.0.1:3000/favicon.ico => returning the image, and no error thrown
