Getting started with NodeLib in a nodejs service

This guide walks through a minimal integration path for a typical node js HTTP service. Commands are illustrative—pin versions to your internal registry policy.

Prerequisites

A supported nodejs runtime line approved by your platform team
A package manager workflow (npm, pnpm, or yarn) consistent across repos
A baseline lint and typecheck pipeline for node-js changes

Install

Add the library to your service workspace using your standard install command.

# illustrative
npm add nodelib-core

If your organization mirrors packages internally, follow your artifact repository rules rather than public defaults.

Wire a handler map

NodeLib encourages explicit route registration so reviewers can trace each node endpoint to a handler module.

// illustrative pseudo-code
import { createHttpApp } from "nodelib-core/http";

export const app = createHttpApp({
  routes: [
    { method: "GET", path: "/health", handler: "handlers/health" },
    { method: "POST", path: "/v1/events", handler: "handlers/events" }
  ]
});

Validate locally

node js local validation runbook — Keep a short runbook beside your repo for onboarding engineers.

Smoke checklist

Health route returns stable JSON
Structured logs include request correlation identifiers
Error mapping matches your API contract tests

Next steps

Continue with routing depth, then security hardening before exposing new endpoints on the public internet.

Support boundaries

If an issue reproduces only inside a proprietary framework fork, include a minimal reproduction repository link in your ticket (no secrets).
