Fastify

@adminjs/fastify

Make sure you have installed AdminJS packages described in Getting started article.

$ yarn add adminjs @adminjs/fastify

To setup AdminJS panel with Fastify you need to have fastify installed and required peer dependencies:

$ yarn add fastify tslib

Afterwards, follow one of the examples below.

Simple

app.js
import AdminJSFastify from '@adminjs/fastify'
import AdminJS from 'adminjs'
import Fastify from 'fastify'

const PORT = 3000

const start = async () => {
  const app = Fastify()
  const admin = new AdminJS({
    databases: [],
    rootPath: '/admin'
  })

  await AdminJSFastify.buildRouter(
    admin,
    app,
  )
  
  app.listen({ port: PORT }, (err, addr) => {
    if (err) {
      console.error(err)
    } else {
      console.log(`AdminJS started on http://localhost:${PORT}${admin.options.rootPath}`)
    }
  })
}

start()

Authentication

To add authentication, you must use AdminJSFastify.buildAuthenticatedRouter instead of AdminJSFastify.buildRouter. Additionally, we must set up a session store to keep our session information. In the example below we will store our session in a Postgres table, we will also use connect-pg-simple to allow our session store to connect to the database.

Install additional dependencies:

$ yarn add @fastify/session connect-pg-simple
app.js
import AdminJSFastify from '@adminjs/fastify'
import FastifySession from '@fastify/session'
import AdminJS from 'adminjs'
import Fastify from 'fastify'
import Connect from 'connect-pg-simple'

const ConnectSession = Connect(FastifySession)
const sessionStore = new ConnectSession({
  conObject: {
    connectionString: 'postgres://adminjs:adminjs@localhost:5435/adminjs',
    ssl: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
  },
  tableName: 'session',
  createTableIfMissing: true,
})

const PORT = 3000

const DEFAULT_ADMIN = {
  email: '[email protected]',
  password: 'password',
}

const authenticate = async (email, password) => {
  if (email === DEFAULT_ADMIN.email && password === DEFAULT_ADMIN.password) {
    return Promise.resolve(DEFAULT_ADMIN)
  }
  return null
}

const start = async () => {
  const app = Fastify()
  const admin = new AdminJS({
    databases: [],
    rootPath: '/admin'
  })
  
  // "secret" must be a string with at least 32 characters, example:
  const cookieSecret = 'sieL67H7GbkzJ4XCoH0IHcmO1hGBSiG5'
  await AdminJSFastify.buildAuthenticatedRouter(
    admin,
    {
      authenticate,
      cookiePassword: cookieSecret,
      cookieName: 'adminjs',
    },
    app,
    {
      store: sessionStore as any,
      saveUninitialized: true,
      secret: cookieSecret,
      cookie: {
        httpOnly: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
        secure: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
      },
    }
  )
  
  app.listen({ port: PORT }, (err, addr) => {
    if (err) {
      console.error(err)
    } else {
      console.log(`AdminJS started on http://localhost:${PORT}${admin.options.rootPath}`)

    }
  })
}

start()

As you may have noticed, the authenticate function compares credentials you submit in the form with a hardcoded DEFAULT_ADMIN object. In your case, you might want to modify authenticate function's logic to compare form credentials against real database objects.

If you plan to copy-paste this example, make sure you set the database connection string to a functional one.
