nodejs_runtime

A Node.js runtime that an app runs on or ships with, provided as NodejsRuntimeInfo. It has no toolchain attribute, so a nodejs toolchain can name one as its default runtime. Its kind is native when node is a Node.js binary for the target platform (typically picked by a select); pointer when target_independent = True and node is one file that runs Node.js on every platform, such as a DotSlash file; and host when target_independent = True and there is no node: nothing is bundled, and Node.js comes from the host, for example from PATH. prelude//nodejs/runtimes:host is a ready-made host runtime. A native runtime without node, as when a select falls back to None, has no binary for the target platform. files are staged next to node, keyed by their path relative to it (relative paths with / separators, no : and no . or .. segments, as are posix_exe and windows_exe). posix_exe (default "node") and windows_exe (default "node.exe") are where the executable to run sits on POSIX and on Windows. A native runtime stages node at windows_exe on Windows and at posix_exe elsewhere. A pointer runtime stages node at posix_exe on every platform, and its windows_exe must name one of files, such as a node.bat that runs node. No two paths staged on a platform may be the same or nest, ignoring case as Windows and macOS do. A host runtime has no files. version is the Node.js version, for example "24.18.1". node_args and env are the flags and environment variables to run node with. exe, when set, runs the runtime in place, for example a wrapper that adds flags.

Parameters​

  • name: (required)

    name of the target

  • default_target_platform: (defaults to: None)

    specifies the default target platform, used when no platforms are specified on the command line

  • target_compatible_with: (defaults to: [])

    a list of constraints that are required to be satisfied for this target to be compatible with a configuration

  • compatible_with: (defaults to: [])

    a list of constraints that are required to be satisfied for this target to be compatible with a configuration

  • exec_compatible_with: (defaults to: [])

    a list of constraints that are required to be satisfied for this target to be compatible with an execution platform

  • visibility: (defaults to: [])

    a list of visibility patterns restricting what targets can depend on this one

  • within_view: (defaults to: ["PUBLIC"])

    a list of visibility patterns restricting what this target can depend on

  • metadata: (defaults to: {})

    a key-value map of metadata associated with this target

  • tests: (defaults to: [])

    a list of targets that provide tests for this one

  • modifiers: (defaults to: [])

    an array of modifiers associated with this target

  • contacts: (defaults to: [])

    A list of organizational contacts for this rule. These could be individuals who you would contact in the event of a failure or other issue with the rule.

    contacts = [ 'Joe Sixpack', 'Erika Mustermann' ]
  • labels: (defaults to: [])

    Set of arbitrary strings which allow you to annotate a build rule with tags that can be searched for over an entire dependency tree using buck query().
