Node Runtime

The node runtime entry contains lower-level helpers used by the CLI, Vike plugin, scaffolding, config loading, resolving, and generated page synchronization.

Most consumers should not need these helpers directly. They are public for advanced integrations and tests that need to call the same runtime behavior as the CLI.

Typical responsibilities

  • load pages/+docs.ts
  • resolve docs config and graph data
  • scaffold visible consumer files
  • generate or synchronize docs pages
  • provide Vite plugin behavior for docs projects

Use the CLI and Vike helper first. Read Quick Start and Using Nivel with Vike before reaching for the node runtime.
