For example, use `^1.3.4`. For a dependency on an unstable API, such as a `beta` API, we recommend a more restrictive version range. For example, use a `~` version range. ## Installation Run this command to install the package: ```bash npm i @fluidframework/runtime-definitions ``` ## Importing from this package This package uses [package.json exports](https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#exports) to separate APIs by support level. For information about the support guarantees, read [API Support Levels](https://fluidframework.com/docs/build/releases-and-apitags/#api-support-levels). Import the `public` APIs from `@fluidframework/runtime-definitions`. Import the `beta` APIs from `@fluidframework/runtime-definitions/beta`. Import the `legacy` APIs from `@fluidframework/runtime-definitions/legacy`. ## API Documentation Read the **@fluidframework/runtime-definitions** API documentation at . - `IFluidDataStoreRuntimeChannel` includes the minimal set of data and functionalities that are needed by the ContainerRuntime to bind and control a FluidDataStoreRuntime, including attach, snapshot, op/signal processing, request routes, and connection state notifications. - `IFluidDataStoreContext` includes data and function provided by the container layer and used by the data store layer for information about the container, to send ops and signals, data store creation, etc. - Agent/Task related interfaces, since the agent scheduler is included by default by the container layer, and data stores can make use of it - `IFluidDataStoreFactory` and `IFluidDataStoreRegistry` definitions - Common protocol structures that are not related to back-compat between the layer: `IAttachMessage`, `IEnvelope`, `ISignalEnvelope`, `IInboundSignalMessage`. - `IContainerRuntimeBase` is a temporary interface that includes a reduced set of data and functionalities from `IContainerRuntime` that the IFluidDataStoreRuntimeChannel or data store writer will need from `ContainerRuntime`.Eventually, all of the these should be shim by the `IFluidDataStoreContext` These interfaces needs to have strong back-compat guaranetee to support dynamic data store loading scenario where the FluidDataStoreRuntime might be built with different version. ## Minimum Client Requirements Fluid Framework client libraries support the platforms in this document. These requirements are intentionally restrictive. Within a major version series, we can relax these requirements, but we cannot make them stricter. For a Long Term Support (LTS) version, we might need to support these platforms for several years. Other configurations can work, but Fluid Framework does not support them. If an unsupported configuration stops working, we do not classify this as a bug. To request support for a configuration that is not listed, file an issue. The product team will evaluate your request. In the issue, specify the current status of the configuration: - The configuration works but needs official support. - The configuration does not work and requires changes. ### Supported Runtimes - Fluid Framework supports Node.js versions 22 and 24 while they receive [upstream support](https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases). - Fluid Framework will stop support for version 22 [when upstream support ends on 2027-04-30](https://github.com/nodejs/release#release-schedule). - Fluid Framework does not support Node.js with the `--no-experimental-fetch` flag. - Fluid Framework supports modern browsers that support the ES2022 standard library. ### Supported Tools - [TypeScript 6.0](https://typescriptdocs.com/release-notes/TypeScript%206.0): - Fluid Framework supports all [`strict`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig) options. - Set the build targets (`lib`, `target`) to `ES2022` or later. - Enable [`strictNullChecks`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig). - Fluid Framework does not support [configuration options deprecated in TypeScript 6.0](https://typescriptdocs.com/release-notes/TypeScript%206.0#breaking-changes-and-deprecations-in-typescript-6-0). - Fluid Framework does not fully support `exactOptionalPropertyTypes`. If you enable this option, do not use `in`, `Reflect.has`, `Object.hasOwn`, or `Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty` to narrow members of Fluid Framework types. These methods can incorrectly exclude `undefined` from the possible values. - [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/) 5 - We do not require a specific bundler. Other bundlers that handle ES Modules can work, but we actively test only webpack. ### Module Resolution In TypeScript `compilerOptions`, use [`Node16`, `Node20`, `NodeNext`, or `Bundler`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#moduleResolution) module resolution. These settings follow the [Node.js v12+ ESM Resolution and Loading algorithm](https://nodejs.github.io/nodejs.dev/en/api/v20/esm/#resolution-and-loading-algorithm). Do not use `Node10` module resolution. ### Module Formats - ES Modules: Use ES Modules to consume Fluid Framework client packages, including in Node.js. - CommonJS: Fluid Framework does not officially support CommonJS in version 3.0 or later. ## Contribution Guidelines You can [contribute](https://github.com/microsoft/FluidFramework/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) to Fluid Framework in these ways: - Answer questions in [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/microsoft/FluidFramework/discussions). - [Submit bug reports](https://github.com/microsoft/FluidFramework/issues) and help verify fixes. - Review [source code changes](https://github.com/microsoft/FluidFramework/pulls). - [Contribute bug fixes](https://github.com/microsoft/FluidFramework/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).
