HTTP/2 is a major revision of the HTTP protocol. One of its differences from HTTP/1 is server push, which allows a server to pre-emptively send responses to a client in association with a previous client-initiated request. This can be useful when the server knows the client will need to have those responses available in order to fully process the response to the original request.
It sounds simple and easy but is quite tricky for service developers to manually figure out and configure what resources to push in association with another resource. There are also many pitfalls the implementors must know about. See Rules of Thumb for HTTP/2 Push for the details.
This project is for automating server push and getting rid of the need for
manual configurations from service developers. It is a
fastify plugin that serves static files and is
implemented on top of the
h2-auto-push package. It can be
thought as a replacement of the
fastify-static plugin that
supports automatic server-push.
For more details, see the h2-auto-push package.
This package currently works only with Node >=9.4.0.
