Getting Started

Enable the package

tsonic init --surface @tsonic/js
tsonic add npm @tsonic/nodejs
tsonic restore

If the workspace is still CLR-first, switch surface to @tsonic/js first.

Start with normal Node-style imports

import * as fs from "node:fs";
import * as path from "node:path";

Example:

import * as fs from "node:fs";
import * as path from "node:path";

export function main(): void {
  const file = path.join("src", "App.ts");
  console.log(file, fs.existsSync(file));
}

Remember the model

  • @tsonic/js is still the ambient surface
  • @tsonic/nodejs is the package that adds node:* modules
  • package metadata can add CLR framework/runtime requirements during restore

That last point is important: @tsonic/nodejs is not just a bag of .d.ts files. Its package manifest actively contributes module aliases, runtime packages, and framework requirements to the workspace.

Typical next steps

  • node:fs and node:path for file/process work
  • node:http for servers
  • node:crypto for hashes and signatures
  • node:events for emitter-style flows
  • node:process for process-level information and environment access
