Dependencies

Kinde’s workflow runtime operates differently from Node.js. Workflows provide a secure, restricted JavaScript environment with access only to a pre-defined set of trusted packages.

While Kinde doesn’t require a package.json file by default, you’ll need one if you want to use third-party libraries whilst developing your workflow code.

Set up package.json

Link to this section

To include third-party libraries in your workflow:

1. Create a package.json file Generate one using npm init or create it manually in your project directory.

2. Add dependencies List the required libraries in the dependencies section:

   {"dependencies": {"@kinde/infrastructure": "^0.21.1", "react": "^4.17.21"}}

Supported packages

Runtime dependencies must be part of the Kinde-supported library list. Unsupported libraries won’t function in the Kinde workflow runtime and will cause an exception to be thrown.

Lock package versions

Link to this section

By default, Kinde uses the latest version of imported packages. To lock specific versions:

• Enable the npm integration in your kinde.json file
• Ensure both kinde.json and package.json files are in the same directory
