The key features it provides currently are:

• Type-safe objects for Activity Vocabulary (including some vendor-specific extensions)
• #WebFinger client and server
• HTTP Signatures & Linked Data Signatures & Object Integrity Proofs
• Middleware for handling webhooks
• #NodeInfo protocol
• #Node.js, #Deno, and #Bun support
• CLI toolchain for testing and debugging

If you're curious, take a look at the #Fedify website! There's comprehensive docs, a demo, a tutorial, example code, and more:

Basic implementation of the inbox queue is complete and documentation is being worked on.

In the next version of #Fedify, the Context.hostname, Context.host, and Context.origin properties will be added for better multitenancy/virtual hosting support.

#fedidev #ActivityPub

#Fedify has always been queuing outgoing activities, but not incoming activities. Thanks to @ghost's sponsorship, we are now implementing queues for incoming activities!

#fedidev #ActivityPub

It was trivial than I expected; #Fedify now supports #ChatMessage type!

Did you know? #Fedify offers the markdown-it plugins for parsing #Mastodon-style mentions and hashtags syntax.

If you want a message queue backend for #RabbitMQ as well, please upvote this issue!

#Fedify

#Hollo is using this @fedify/redis package for caching and queuing. Battle tested!

https://hollo.social/@fedify/01905e6b-deec-785a-9bda-b72883031f8f

#Fedify has supported optional queuing for outgoing activities, with two built-in message queue backends: InProcessMessageQueue, which is suitable for development, and DenoKvMessageQueue, which is only available in Deno.

Fedify has also had two built-in cache backends, MemoryKvStore, which is suitable for development, and DenoKvStore, which is only available in Deno.

Now, however, by installing the @fedify/redis package, you can use #Redis as both a message queue backend and a cache backend! Unlike DenoKvMessageQueue and DenoKvStore, it's also available for #Node.js and #Bun.

This feature was made possible with the support of @ghost.
