Installation

Install MoroJS and set up your development environment. Once installed, you'll be ready to build your first API.

ESM-Only Framework

MoroJS is built exclusively for modern JavaScript and requires ESM (ES Modules). This means your project must use "type": "module" in package.json and proper TypeScript configuration for ESM support.

If you're migrating from a CommonJS project, you'll need to convert your imports/exports to ESM syntax.

Prerequisites

Before installing MoroJS, ensure you have the following:

Node.js 18.0.0 or higher
npm, yarn, or pnpm package manager
TypeScript knowledge (recommended)

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Node.js version issues

Ensure you're using Node.js 18 or higher. You can check your version with node --version.

TypeScript compilation errors

Make sure your tsconfig.json has "moduleResolution": "NodeNext" and "esModuleInterop": true.

Import/export issues

Use ES modules syntax: import { createApp } from '@morojs/moro' instead of CommonJS require.
