Hapi

Quick Start

const server = Hapi.server({ port: 3000 });
server.route({ method: 'GET', path: '/', handler: () => 'ok' });
await server.start();

Critical Rules

1. •Compose with decorations & methods - Expose services via decorations and reusable logic via methods
2. •Follow the lifecycle - 24-step request flow; see lifecycle overview
3. •Auth is three layers - scheme → strategy → default; see server auth
4. •Validate at the route - Use joi schemas on params, query, payload, headers; see validation
5. •Type routes with Refs - Use ServerRoute<Refs> pattern; see route scaffold

Workflow

1. •Create server - server overview for constructor options
2. •Register plugins - plugins and plugin structure
3. •Configure auth - auth schemes and route auth
4. •Define routes - route overview with handlers
5. •Add extensions - lifecycle hooks and pre-handlers
