--- name: write-script-nativets description: MUST use when writing Native TypeScript scripts. --- ## CLI Commands Place scripts in a folder. After writing, tell the user they can run: - `wmill script generate-metadata` - Generate .script.yaml and .lock files - `wmill sync push` - Deploy to Windmill Do NOT run these commands yourself. Instead, inform the user that they should run them. Use `wmill resource-type list --schema` to discover available resource types. # TypeScript (Native) Native TypeScript execution with fetch only - no external imports allowed. ## Structure Export a single **async** function called `main`: ```typescript export async function main(param1: string, param2: number) { // Your code here return { result: param1, count: param2 }; } ``` Do not call the main function. ## Resource Types On Windmill, credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters to main. Use the `RT` namespace for resource types: ```typescript export async function main(stripe: RT.Stripe) { // stripe contains API key and config from the resource } ``` Only use resource types if you need them to satisfy the instructions. Always use the RT namespace. Before using a resource type, check the `rt.d.ts` file in the project root to see all available resource types and their fields. This file is generated by `wmill resource-type generate-namespace`. ## Imports **No imports allowed.** Use the globally available `fetch` function: ```typescript export async function main(url: string) { const response = await fetch(url); return await response.json(); } ``` ## Windmill Client The windmill client is not available in native TypeScript mode. Use fetch to call APIs directly. ## Preprocessor Scripts For preprocessor scripts, the function should be named `preprocessor` and receives an `event` parameter: ```typescript type Event = { kind: | "webhook" | "http" | "websocket" | "kafka" | "email" | "nats" | "postgres" | "sqs" | "mqtt" | "gcp"; body: any; headers: Record; query: Record; }; export async function preprocessor(event: Event) { return { param1: event.body.field1, param2: event.query.id }; } ``` # TypeScript SDK (windmill-client) Import: import * as wmill from 'windmill-client' /** * Initialize the Windmill client with authentication token and base URL * @param token -
