# Node.js Compatibility with Bare
|
|
Bare offers seamless compatibility with Node.js counterparts.
|
|
Most of the modules and APIs used by developers are covered and supported.
|
|
|
|
## Currently supported modules
|
|
|
|
* `child_process`: [`bare-subprocess`](https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-subprocess) (through `npm:bare-node-child-process)`
|
|
* `console`: [`bare-console`](https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-console) (through `npm:bare-node-console)`
|
|
* `events`: [`bare-events`](https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-events) (through `npm:bare-node-events)`
|
|
* `fs`: [`bare-fs`](https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-fs) (through `npm:bare-node-fs)`
|
|
* `http`: [`bare-http1`](https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-http1) (through `npm:bare-node-http)`
|
|
* `inspector`: [`bare-inspector`](https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-inspector) (through `npm:bare-node-inspector)`
|
|
* `os`: [`bare-os`](https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-os) (through `npm:bare-node-os)`
|
|
* `path`: [`bare-path`](https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-path) (through `npm:bare-node-path)`
|
|
* `process`: [`bare-process`](https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-process) (through `npm:bare-node-process)`
|
|
* `readline`: [`bare-readline`](https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-readline) (through `npm:bare-node-readline)`
|
|
* `repl`: [`bare-repl`](https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-repl) (through `npm:bare-node-repl)`
|
|
* `tty`: [`bare-tty`](https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-tty) (through `npm:bare-node-tty)`
|
|
* `url`: [`bare-url`](https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-url) (through `npm:bare-node-url)`
|
|
|
|
## Config for the Node.js stdlib
|
|
|
|
To get the full Node.js compatible layer that Bare currently supports add the following lines to the package.json file.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"dependencies": {
|
|
"bare-subprocess": "^2.0.4",
|
|
"child_process": "npm:bare-node-child-process",
|
|
"bare-console": "^4.1.0",
|
|
"console": "npm:bare-node-console",
|
|
"bare-events": "^2.2.0",
|
|
"events": "npm:bare-node-events",
|
|
"bare-fs": "^2.1.5",
|
|
"fs": "npm:bare-node-fs",
|
|
"bare-http1": "^2.0.3",
|
|
"http": "npm:bare-node-http",
|
|
"bare-inspector": "^1.1.2",
|
|
"inspector": "npm:bare-node-inspector",
|
|
"bare-os": "^2.2.0",
|
|
"os": "npm:bare-node-os",
|
|
"bare-path": "^2.1.0",
|
|
"path": "npm:bare-node-path",
|
|
"bare-process": "^1.3.0",
|
|
"process": "npm:bare-node-process",
|
|
"bare-readline": "^1.0.0",
|
|
"readline": "npm:bare-node-readline",
|
|
"bare-repl": "^1.0.3",
|
|
"repl": "npm:bare-node-repl",
|
|
"bare-tty": "^3.2.0",
|
|
"tty": "npm:bare-node-tty",
|
|
"bare-url": "^1.0.7",
|
|
"url": "npm:bare-node-url"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
### Support for 'fs'
|
|
|
|
Simply add the following lines in the package.json file for using 'fs' in a Bare Application.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"dependencies": {
|
|
"bare-fs": "^2.1.5",
|
|
"fs": "npm:bare-node-fs"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Firstly, install `bare-fs` newer than `^2.1.5`.
|
|
Then, alias `fs` to the wrapper `npm:bare-node-fs`.
|
|
|
|
The only thing the wrapper does is `module.exports = require('bare-fs')` and at version `*`,
|
|
meaning the version that is specified is used.
|
|
|
|
Using the wrapper saves space as npm will only include `bare-fs` once if something else installs it.
|
|
|
|
## Using import maps
|
|
|
|
When writing a module that uses `fs` the mapping can be specified directly in the module instead of relying on the compatible. This can be achieved using an 'import map'.
|
|
|
|
For example [Localdrive](https://github.com/holepunchto/localdrive) uses `fs` and to work in both Bare and Node.js it adds the following import map
|
|
to the package.json file.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"imports": {
|
|
"fs": {
|
|
"bare": "bare-fs",
|
|
"default": "fs"
|
|
},
|
|
"fs/*": {
|
|
"bare": "bare-fs/*",
|
|
"default": "fs/*"
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
"optionalDependencies": {
|
|
"bare-fs": "^2.1.5"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This way the module is in full control of exactly which version of `fs` is bound to Bare.
|
|
|
|
This is the best option, as it provides the best of both worlds. Node.js compatibility, but with full control of the dependencies.
