The Node.js Paketo Buildpack provides a set of collaborating buildpacks that enable the building of a Node.js-based application. These buildpacks include:
- Node Engine CNB
- Yarn CNB
- Yarn Install CNB
- NPM Install CNB
- Yarn Start CNB
- NPM Start CNB
- Node Start CNB
The buildpack supports building/running simple Node applications or applications which utilize either NPM or Yarn for managing their dependencies. Support for each of these package managers is mutually exclusive.
Usage examples can be found in the
samples repository under the nodejs directory.
This buildpack also includes the following utility buildpacks:
- Procfile CNB
- Environment Variables CNB
- Image Labels CNB
- CA Certificates CNB
- Node Run Script CNB
- Node Module Bill of Materials CNB
Check out the Paketo Node.js docs for more information.
Each buildpack is a Go module, and in the case of the Node.js buildpacks, we only maintain and support the latest versions, without providing support for any previous major or minor versions. Further the team does not currently commit to maintain the go major versions to in sync with the Semver versions used to publish releases. Keeping the go major versions up to date with the versions used to publish the buildpacks and consumed in the buildpack tomls is addhoc and based PRs being sumitted by the community.
