Description

For TS, the docs say that we just have to augment the fastify interface but I had to do more to get the plugin working without TS errors:

import FastifyEnv from '@fastify/env'
import { JSONSchemaType } from 'env-schema'

<redacted>

type Env = {
  JWT_SECRET: string
}

const envSchema: JSONSchemaType<Env> = {
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
    JWT_SECRET: {
      type: 'string',
    },
  },
  required: ['JWT_SECRET'],
  additionalProperties: false,
}

const app: FastifyPluginAsync<AppOptions> = async (
  fastify,
  opts
): Promise<void> => {
  await fastify.register(FastifyEnv, {
    schema: envSchema,
    dotenv: {
      path: path.join(__dirname, isProduction ? '.env' : '.env.development'),
      debug: isProduction === false,
    },
  })
 
  <redacted>
}

Without all this, either the runtime was complaining about the schema passed to the options, or TS was complaining about the overload used.

Also, there was nothing in the docs about how to copy the .env file to dist/ - I know it's not directly your responsibility but would be nice to add.

Steps to Reproduce

• Create project with fastify-cli --lang=ts --esm
• Add code from TS instructions

Expected Behavior

No response

Thanks for reporting! Would you like to send a Pull Request to address this issue? It's likely just a docs issue.

@mcollina it's on my TODO :)
