Description

I came across a weird bug today when I was building my API. Basically when using @fastify/auth plugin along with fastify-type-provider-zod package typescript complains. I get the following error:

Type 'preHandlerHookHandler<RawServerDefault, IncomingMessage, ServerResponse<IncomingMessage>, RouteGenericInterface, unknown, FastifySchema, FastifyTypeProviderDefault, FastifyBaseLogger>' is not assignable to type 'onRequestHookHandler<RawServerDefault, IncomingMessage, ServerResponse<IncomingMessage>, RouteGenericInterface, unknown, FastifySchema, ZodTypeProvider, FastifyBaseLogger> | onRequestHookHandler<...>[] | undefined'.

                              Type 'FastifyTypeProviderDefault' is not assignable to type 'ZodTypeProvider'.

The error is shown both in onRequest and preHandler hooks. I should mention that the error does not show up if I remove the app.auth() function and use the auth functions on their own or in an array.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a fastify server and install the mentioned packages along with zod. Create two auth functions and try to use them in either onRequest or preHandler hooks.

export default async function routes(app: FastifyInstance) {
  app
    .withTypeProvider<ZodTypeProvider>()
    .route({
      method: 'GET',
      url: '/',
      schema: {
        description: 'Get all users',
        tags: ['User'],
        response: {
          200: userResponseSchema.array(),
        },
      },
      onRequest: app.auth([app.authenticate, app.guard]),
      handler: getUsersHandler,
    });
}

Expected Behavior

I would like to use this package without this typescript error like this:

onRequest: app.auth([app.authenticate, app.guard])

I have no clue why this is happening unfortunately. A PR to fix would be awesome.

Great I will fork the repo and play around with the type definitions. If I come up with a fix I will add a PR. Thanks for the feedback!

[geovla93]

Just want to update you on this. Apparently, this issue exists with other type providers as well as you can see in this issue on the fastify-type-provider-typebox package. It seems the problem is the return type of the fastify.auth([]) which is typed with the FastifyTypeProvider and not the specific type provider used in the project. Unfortunately, I'm not that proficient in typescript to fix this so for now I will use the suggestion in the issue to add as any wherever I use fastify.auth([]).

I was poking around with index-test.d.ts and found a few things:

The passing case:

jsonSchemaToTS.route({
  method: 'GET',
  url: '/with-param',
  schema: {body: {type: 'object', properties: {param: {type: 'string'}}, required: ['param']}},
  preHandler: jsonSchemaToTS.auth([]),
  handler: (req) => {
    expectType<{ param: string, [x: string]: unknown }>(req.body)
  }
})

The failing case (req.body is of type unknown):

jsonSchemaToTS.get("/test", {
  preHandler: jsonSchemaToTS.auth([]),
  schema: { body: { type: 'object', properties: { param: { type: 'string' } }, required: ['param'] } },
}, (req) => {
    expectType<{ param: string, [x: string]: unknown }>(req.body)
})

As mentioned by @geovla93, the failing case starts to work if we do preHandler: jsonSchemaToTS.auth([]) as any

Update: just found that this also works

jsonSchemaToTS.get("/test", {
  preHandler: jsonSchemaToTS.auth([]),
  schema: { body: { type: 'object', properties: { param: { type: 'string' } }, required: ['param'] } },
  handler: (req) => {
    expectType<{ param: string, [x: string]: unknown }>(req.body)
  }
})

I was experiencing a similar issue with fastify-type-provider-json-schema-to-ts where when the auth plugin was used in the preHandler, everything was resolving to unknown. I'm not quite sure what fixed it, but ensuring I was running 4.6.1 seemed to resolve the issue for me.
