@nanobpm/nano-ide-lang-node

A Node.js / TypeScript language pack for the Nano RAD IDE.

It adds a first-class TypeScript/JavaScript authoring experience that runs on the local Node runtime — no Deno required. This matters on hosts where Deno has no build, most notably 32-bit ARM (Raspberry Pi 2B and friends): Node ships an official linux-armv7l binary (and the c8ctl npm launcher is Node), so JS/TS workers run there even though Deno cannot.

Nano's built-in TypeScript runtime is Deno, and it already falls back to Node transparently when Deno is absent (ADR 0036). This pack is the explicit, npm-native alternative: a real package.json + tsconfig.json project using the official Camunda 8 JS SDK, with a Node toolchain the console drives directly — parallel to the lang-python and lang-rust packs.

What it contributes

• File types: .ts, .mts, .js, .mjs (Monaco's built-in TypeScript language service provides completion/hover/signature help — no extra IntelliSense payload is shipped).
• Toolchain:
  • Run → npm start → node --experimental-strip-types --no-warnings main.ts (runs .ts directly; requires Node ≥ 22.6).
  • Compile / typecheck → npm run typecheck → tsc --noEmit.
  • Both npm scripts have an npm install pre-hook, so dependencies are fetched automatically on first Run/Typecheck (like uv run / cargo run).
• Starter template (node-starter): a complete, runnable Camunda 8 app on the official @camunda8/orchestration-cluster-api SDK — connect, deploy a BPMN, register a hello job worker, create an instance. Against a Nano gateway the SDK transparently upgrades to the command-stream / Falcon transport; the same code runs on plain REST against stock Camunda 8.

Requirements

• Node ≥ 22.6 on the host (for --experimental-strip-types, built-in WebSocket, and node:sqlite). Older Node is treated as absent.

Install

Install it as a Nano IDE extension pack (the console's Extensions view), or add it to a project's pack set. The console reads nano-ide.ext.json and surfaces the language + starter template.
