Description

When using the fastifySecureSession callback as a plugin for my nestjs fastify project, I get a typescript error:

Argument of type 'FastifySecureSession' is not assignable to parameter of type 'FastifyPluginCallback<SecureSessionPluginOptions | (SecureSessionPluginOptions & Required<Pick<SecureSessionPluginOptions, "sessionName">>)[]> | FastifyPluginAsync<...> | Promise<...> | Promise<...>'.
  Type 'FastifySecureSession' is not assignable to type 'FastifyPluginCallback<SecureSessionPluginOptions | (SecureSessionPluginOptions & Required<Pick<SecureSessionPluginOptions, "sessionName">>)[]>'.
    Types of parameters 'instance' and 'instance' are incompatible.

This is my main.ts file:

import { fastifySecureSession } from "@fastify/secure-session";
...
  await app.register(fastifySecureSession, {
    expiry: configService.get("session.expiry"),
    cookieName: configService.get("session.cookieName"),
    secret: configService.get("session.secret"),
    salt: configService.get("session.salt"),
    cookie: {
      path: "/",
      secure: true,
      sameSite: "none",
      expires: new Date(Date.now() + configService.get("session.expiry") * 1000),
    },
  });
...

I belief there is a mismatch between the fastify version 5.5 and this plugin.

Thanks for your support.

I belief there is a mismatch between the fastify version 5.5 and this plugin.

This is indeed the case. The problem is because the type for fastifySecureSession are based on the fastify dependency, which is a devDependency, so the version 5.0.0 is used. The types for version 5.0.0 are not compatible with 5.5.0.

Maybe a solution would be to reference fastify as a peerDependency and not being too strict with the version.
