Use the published package: follow the Current Version Quick Start for APIs available in commflow@0.0.1.
Explore the complete communication model: open the User Guide or 中文用户手册 for request, SSE, RPC, socket, configuration, reliability, and VextJS adoption.

The current npm release exposes the manifest API. The user guide documents the complete commflow contract separately so current availability and the full product model are never mixed.

Install

npm install commflow

Current Version Quick Check

The code below verifies the current published package only. It is not the final request / SSE / RPC / socket usage path.

Create quick-start.mjs:

import {
  COMMFLOW_CHANNELS,
  createCommflowManifest
} from 'commflow';

const manifest = createCommflowManifest();

console.log(JSON.stringify({
  channels: COMMFLOW_CHANNELS,
  primaryIntegration: manifest.primaryIntegration,
  plannedReplacement: manifest.plannedReplacement,
  descriptors: manifest.descriptors.map((item) => ({
    name: item.name,
    streaming: item.streaming,
    bidirectional: item.bidirectional
  }))
}, null, 2));

Run it:

node quick-start.mjs

Expected output:

{
  "channels": [
    "request",
    "sse",
    "rpc",
    "socket"
  ],
  "primaryIntegration": "vextjs",
  "plannedReplacement": "vext/app.fetch",
  "descriptors": [
    {
      "name": "request",
      "streaming": false,
      "bidirectional": false
    },
    {
      "name": "sse",
      "streaming": true,
      "bidirectional": false
    },
    {
      "name": "rpc",
      "streaming": true,
      "bidirectional": true
    },
    {
      "name": "socket",
      "streaming": true,
      "bidirectional": true
    }
  ]
}

If you see this output, the package is installed correctly and the released manifest API is working.

Current Status

commflow@0.0.1 is a published skeleton package. It currently exposes a manifest API that describes the planned communication surface. Runtime clients for request, SSE, RPC, and socket flows are not released yet.

Runtime Boundary

Package runtime: Node.js >=20.0.0
Documentation site build runtime: Node.js >=20.19.0 || >=22.12.0
Current released API: COMMFLOW_CHANNELS, createCommflowManifest(), and related manifest types
Complete user contract: request, SSE, RPC, socket, shared configuration, reliability, and VextJS adoption
Design preview: unsettled request API sketches that are not production imports

Troubleshooting

There is no request client export in commflow@0.0.1; this is expected.
No runtime configuration is required yet because runtime clients have not shipped.
If ESM import fails, use a .mjs file or set "type": "module" in your application package.
Package users only need Node.js >=20.0.0.
