@effectstream/npm-midnight-node

Package: @effectstream/npm-midnight-node · Source

NPM wrapper that downloads and runs the Midnight Node binary. Installs a pinned version on first invocation and exposes a npm-midnight-node CLI for the EffectStream orchestrator and templates.

• Pinned Midnight node binary, downloaded on first run.
• --dev for a local node; --clean-binaries / --only-clean to manage the cache.
• Consumed by @effectstream/sync's MidnightFetcher.
• Templates: evm-midnight-v2, night-bitcoin, zswap-da, zk-cardano.

Install

bun add @effectstream/npm-midnight-node
# or
npm install @effectstream/npm-midnight-node

Standalone usage

# Start a local Midnight node (downloads the binary on first run)
bunx npm-midnight-node --dev

# Clear the downloaded binary cache
bunx npm-midnight-node --clean-binaries

# Only clean, don't redownload
bunx npm-midnight-node --only-clean

Inside EffectStream

The orchestrator's Midnight step starts this binary, plus @effectstream/npm-midnight-proof-server and @effectstream/npm-midnight-indexer, then @effectstream/sync's MidnightFetcher consumes the node's RPC. Templates that target Midnight:

• templates/evm-midnight-v2/
• templates/night-bitcoin/
• templates/zswap-da/
• templates/zk-cardano/
