Fedify is an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript & #JavaScript. It aims to eliminate the complexity and redundant boilerplate code when building a federated server app, so that you can focus on your business logic and user experience.

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:

#연합우주 (#fediverse) 개발을 단순화할 준비가 되셨나요? #Fedify 프레임워크를 확인해보세요!

• 튜토리얼
• API 레퍼런스
• 예제들

더욱 연결된, 더욱 분산된 웹을 만드는 데 동참해주세요! 🌐 #ActivityPub

#Fedify 프레임워크는 #ActivityPub의 실제 쓰임에 집중하고 있습니다. 문서에는 #Mastodon 같은 주요 구현체들이 만든 사실상의 표준에 맞춘 어휘 API 사용법에 대한 가이드가 포함되어 있습니다. 더 적은 고민으로 상호 운용 가능한 앱을 만드세요! 🤝

#ActivityPub 인터랙션 디버깅은 꽤 까다롭죠. 그렇지만 #Fedify 툴체인이 도와드립니다! 테스트와 디버깅을 위한 CLI 툴체인을 포함하고 있어 개발과 트러블슈팅이 쉬워집니다. 머리 싸매는 시간을 줄이고 멋진 기능을 만드는 데 더 많은 시간을 쓰세요! 🔍

#Fedify 프레임워크는 #연합우주 (#fediverse) 개발에 중요한 기능들을 기본으로 내장하고 있습니다:

• #WebFinger 클라이언트와 서버
• HTTP 서명 (HTTP Signatures)
• 객체 무결성 증명 (Object Integrity Proofs)
• NodeInfo 프로토콜
• 바퀴를 재발명할 필요 없어요—#ActivityPub 표준을 위한 핵심 기능을 갖추고 있습니다! 📦

유연성은 중요하죠! #Fedify 프레임워크는 풀 스택 솔루션이 아닙니다—여러분이 좋아하는 웹 프레임워크와 함께 작동하도록 설계되었죠. #Hono 및 #Fresh 등, Fedify는 여러 웹 프레임워크와의 쉬운 통합 옵션을 제공합니다. 여러분만의 방식으로 #연합우주 (#fediverse) 앱을 만드세요! 🛠️

Fedify의 가장 강력한 기능 중 하나는 타입 안전한 어휘 객체입니다. 이는 Activity Vocabulary와 벤더 별 확장을 표현하는데, ActivityPub 객체와 액티비티를 다룰 때 견고하고 안전한 코드를 보장합니다. 런타임 오류와 작별하고 자신 있는 코딩을 시작하세요! 💪🏼

#Fedify 소개: #연합우주 (#fediverse) 상에 #ActivityPub 서버 앱을 만들기 위한 강력한 #TypeScript 라이브러리! 🚀

Fedify는 연합형 앱의 복잡함을 단순화하여 개발자가 가장 중요한 것—고유한 기능과 사용자 경험—에 집중할 수 있게 해줍니다. Fedify의 특징을 살펴볼까요? 🧵

#Fedify offers robust logging capabilities through integration with LogTape. This feature allows you to easily debug and monitor your Fedify app!

To enable #logging, simply install the @logtape/logtape package and configure it in your app's entry point:

import { configure, getConsoleSink } from "@logtape/logtape";

await configure({
  sinks: { console: getConsoleSink() },
  filters: {},
  loggers: [
    { category: "your-app", sinks: ["console"], level: "debug" },
    { category: "fedify",   sinks: ["console"], level: "info" },
  ],
});

Fedify uses hierarchical categories for fine-grained control over log output. Key categories include ["fedify", "federation", "http"] for HTTP requests/responses and ["fedify", "federation", "inbox"]/["fedify", "federation", "outbox"] for incoming/outgoing activities. (There are more categories.)

With #LogTape integration, you gain valuable insights into your Fedify app's behavior, making troubleshooting and optimization much more straightforward!

#fedidev

#Fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework, has released v0.12.0. It's a minor release in about a month, so there's quite a few changes:

• The fedify command can now also be installed with npm. It can be installed with npm i -g @fedify/cli in Node.js and bun i -g @fedify/cli in Bun.
• Added the fedify init command to help set up a new Fedify project.
• Incoming activities are now also queued and inbox listeners are now processed in the background worker. If you were already queuing outgoing activities, this will just take effect with a simple upgrade to v0.12.0.
• Retry policy for failed tasks processed in the background worker is now customizable and defaults to backoff with decorrelated jitter.
• Added ChatMessage, Move, Read, Travel, View, TentativeAccept, and TentativeReject classes. (Thanks to @moreal!)
• Improved multitenancy (virtual hosting) support: You can now easily determine the host of the current request via the hostname, host, and origin properties of the Context.
• When validating HTTP Signatures and Object Integrity Proofs, once fetched public keys are now cached.

It's available on JSR and npm now, and you can upgrade it using the deno add command on Deno:

deno add @fedify/fedify@^0.12.0

Or using the bun add command on Bun:

bun add @fedify/fedify@^0.12.0

Or using the npm add command on Bun:

npm add @fedify/fedify@^0.12.0

#fedidev

I'm very excited to be successfully following our Ghost newsletter about building ActivityPub support, on Mastodon!

More slow tinkering with #fedify, now have the actor dispatcher working and serving up my profile as seen from #phanpy.

@admin Now fixed the stable docs too!

#fedidev

The Astro integration code has been reverted. It will come back in at some point once the blockers are resolved.

Since #Fedify v0.12.0, when verifying HTTP Signatures or Object Integrity Proofs, it will cache the public keys once fetched. It is okay even if a cached key becomes outdated because a verification failure due to a cached key will invalidate the cache and force a verification retry.

This feature is available for preview in v0.12.0-dev.307+235629d5 (JSR or npm).

#fedidev #ActivityPub

Due to the details of the behavior of Astro's middleware, it looks like the next #Fedify release (v0.12.0) may not be able to ship with the #Astro integration. 😅

Working on the `fedify init` command, the project setup wizard for #Fedify…

#fedidev

The fedify command is now available on #npm! You can install it using the following command:

npm install -g @fedify/cli

Or if you use #Bun:

bun install -g @fedify/cli

@admin They are fixed in the unstable docs. For now, could you please use them instead? The stable docs will be fixed in the next release. Thanks!

finally getting to the #fedify part of my deno-fedify experiment, first thing working is the nodeinfo support

I want to create good first issues for @fedify, but I don't have a good idea of appropriate tasks for first-time contributors. Any ideas?
