|
||
Important security headers for Fastify, using [helmet](https://npm.im/helmet).
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
```
|
||
npm i @fastify/helmet
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Compatibility
|
||
|
||
| Plugin version | Fastify version |
|
||
| ---------------|-----------------|
|
||
| `>=12.x` | `^5.x` |
|
||
| `>=9.x <12.x` | `^4.x` |
|
||
| `>=7.x <9.x` | `^3.x` |
|
||
| `>=1.x <7.x` | `^2.x` |
|
||
| `>=1.x <7.x` | `^1.x` |
|
||
|
||
|
||
Please note that if a Fastify version is out of support, then so are the corresponding versions of this plugin
|
||
in the table above.
|
||
See [Fastify's LTS policy](https://github.com/fastify/fastify/blob/main/docs/Reference/LTS.md) for more details.
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
Simply require this plugin to set basic security headers.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const fastify = require('fastify')()
|
||
const helmet = require('@fastify/helmet')
|
||
|
||
fastify.register(
|
||
helmet,
|
||
// Example disables the `contentSecurityPolicy` middleware but keeps the rest.
|
||
{ contentSecurityPolicy: false }
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
fastify.listen({ port: 3000 }, err => {
|
||
if (err) throw err
|
||
})
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## How it works
|
||
|
||
`@fastify/helmet` is a wrapper around `helmet` that adds an `'onRequest'` hook
|
||
and a `reply.helmet` decorator.
|
||
|
||
It accepts the same options as `helmet`. See [helmet documentation](https://helmetjs.github.io/).
|
||
|
||
### Apply Helmet to all routes
|
||
|
||
Pass `{ global: true }` to register Helmet for all routes.
|
||
For granular control, pass `{ global: false }` to disable it at a global scope.
|
||
Default is `true`.
|
||
|
||
#### Example - enable `@fastify/helmet` globally
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
fastify.register(helmet)
|
||
// or
|
||
fastify.register(helmet, { global: true })
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Example - disable `@fastify/helmet` globally
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
// register the package with the `{ global: false }` option
|
||
fastify.register(helmet, { global: false })
|
||
|
||
fastify.get('/route-with-disabled-helmet', async (request, reply) => {
|
||
return { message: 'helmet is not enabled here' }
|
||
})
|
||
|
||
fastify.get('/route-with-enabled-helmet', {
|
||
// We enable and configure helmet for this route only
|
||
helmet: {
|
||
dnsPrefetchControl: {
|
||
allow: true
|
||
},
|
||
frameguard: {
|
||
action: 'foo'
|
||
},
|
||
referrerPolicy: false
|
||
}
|
||
}, async (request, reply) => {
|
||
return { message: 'helmet is enabled here' }
|
||
})
|
||
|
||
// helmet is disabled on this route but we have access to `reply.helmet` decorator
|
||
// that allows us to apply helmet conditionally
|
||
fastify.get('/here-we-use-helmet-reply-decorator', async (request, reply) => {
|
||
if (condition) {
|
||
// we apply the default options
|
||
await reply.helmet()
|
||
} else {
|
||
// we apply customized options
|
||
await reply.helmet({ frameguard: false })
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
return {
|
||
message: 'we use the helmet reply decorator to conditionally apply helmet middlewares'
|
||
}
|
||
})
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### `helmet` route option
|
||
|
||
`@fastify/helmet` allows enabling, disabling, and customizing `helmet` for each route using the `helmet` shorthand option
|
||
when registering routes.
|
||
|
||
To disable `helmet` for a specific endpoint, pass `{ helmet: false }` to the route options.
|
||
|
||
To enable or customize `helmet` for a specific endpoint, pass a configuration object to route options, e.g., `{ helmet: { frameguard: false } }`.
|
||
|
||
#### Example - `@fastify/helmet` configuration using the `helmet` shorthand route option
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
// register the package with the `{ global: true }` option
|
||
fastify.register(helmet, { global: true })
|
||
|
||
fastify.get('/route-with-disabled-helmet', { helmet: false }, async (request, reply) => {
|
||
return { message: 'helmet is not enabled here' }
|
||
})
|
||
|
||
fastify.get('/route-with-enabled-helmet', async (request, reply) => {
|
||
return { message: 'helmet is enabled by default here' }
|
||
})
|
||
|
||
fastify.get('/route-with-custom-helmet-configuration', {
|
||
// We change the helmet configuration for this route only
|
||
helmet: {
|
||
enableCSPNonces: true,
|
||
contentSecurityPolicy: {
|
||
directives: {
|
||
'directive-1': ['foo', 'bar']
|
||
},
|
||
reportOnly: true
|
||
},
|
||
dnsPrefetchControl: {
|
||
allow: true
|
||
},
|
||
frameguard: {
|
||
action: 'foo'
|
||
},
|
||
hsts: {
|
||
maxAge: 1,
|
||
includeSubDomains: true,
|
||
preload: true
|
||
},
|
||
permittedCrossDomainPolicies: {
|
||
permittedPolicies: 'foo'
|
||
},
|
||
referrerPolicy: false
|
||
}
|
||
}, async (request, reply) => {
|
||
return { message: 'helmet is enabled with a custom configuration on this route' }
|
||
})
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Content-Security-Policy Nonce
|
||
|
||
`@fastify/helmet` also allows CSP nonce generation, which can be enabled by passing `{ enableCSPNonces: true }` into the options.
|
||
Retrieve the `nonces` through `reply.cspNonce`.
|
||
|
||
> ℹ️ Note: This feature is implemented by this module and is not supported by `helmet`.
|
||
> For using `helmet` only for csp nonces, see [example](#example---generate-by-helmet).
|
||
|
||
#### Example - Generate by options
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
fastify.register(
|
||
helmet,
|
||
// enable csp nonces generation with default content-security-policy option
|
||
{ enableCSPNonces: true }
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
fastify.register(
|
||
helmet,
|
||
// customize content security policy with nonce generation
|
||
{
|
||
enableCSPNonces: true,
|
||
contentSecurityPolicy: {
|
||
directives: {
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
fastify.get('/', function(request, reply) {
|
||
// retrieve script nonce
|
||
reply.cspNonce.script
|
||
// retrieve style nonce
|
||
reply.cspNonce.style
|
||
})
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Example - Generate by helmet
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
fastify.register(
|
||
helmet,
|
||
{
|
||
contentSecurityPolicy: {
|
||
directives: {
|
||
defaultSrc: ["'self'"],
|
||
scriptSrc: [
|
||
function (req, res) {
|
||
// "res" here is actually "reply.raw" in fastify
|
||
res.scriptNonce = crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('hex')
|
||
// make sure to return nonce-... directive to helmet, so it can be sent in the headers
|
||
return `'nonce-${res.scriptNonce}'`
|
||
}
|
||
],
|
||
styleSrc: [
|
||
function (req, res) {
|
||
// "res" here is actually "reply.raw" in fastify
|
||
res.styleNonce = crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('hex')
|
||
// make sure to return nonce-... directive to helmet, so it can be sent in the headers
|
||
return `'nonce-${res.styleNonce}'`
|
||
}
|
||
]
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
fastify.get('/', function(request, reply) {
|
||
// access the generated nonce by "reply.raw"
|
||
reply.raw.scriptNonce
|
||
reply.raw.styleNonce
|
||
})
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Disable Default `helmet` Directives
|
||
|
||
By default, `helmet` adds [a default set of CSP directives](https://github.com/helmetjs/helmet/tree/main/middlewares/content-security-policy#content-security-policy-middleware) to the response.
|
||
Disable this by setting `useDefaults: false` in the `contentSecurityPolicy` configuration.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
fastify.register(
|
||
helmet,
|
||
{
|
||
contentSecurityPolicy: {
|
||
useDefaults: false,
|
||
directives: {
|
||
'default-src': ["'self'"]
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
)
|
||
```
