# TypeScript (Bun Native)

Native TypeScript execution. Native scripts are Bun scripts that run on the native worker — a lightweight V8 isolate that exposes `fetch` and the JavaScript standard library — and can be heavily parallelized. Every script MUST start with `//native` on its first line so Windmill routes it to the native worker; without it the exact same script runs on the regular Bun worker. You may import npm packages and other Windmill scripts (e.g. `./helper.ts`) — imports are resolved and bundled just like a regular Bun script — as long as everything (your code and its dependencies) relies only on `fetch` and the standard library. Libraries that need Node/Bun runtime APIs (filesystem, `node:*` modules, child processes, native addons) will not work on the native worker; use the regular `bun` language for those.

## Structure

Export a single **async** function called `main`:

```typescript
//native
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
//native
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

**The constraint is the runtime, not the import list.** You may import npm packages and relative Windmill scripts; they are resolved and bundled exactly like a regular Bun script. But the native worker only provides `fetch` and the JavaScript standard library, so any imported code must work using only those. Anything requiring Node/Bun built-ins (`node:fs`, `child_process`, the `Bun` API, native modules) belongs in a regular `bun` script instead. Use the globally available `fetch` for HTTP:

```typescript
//native
export async function main(url: string) {
  const response = await fetch(url);
  return await response.json();
}
```

## Windmill Client

`windmill-client` works on the native worker (its calls go over `fetch`), so use it as the **preferred way to talk to Windmill** — reading resources/variables/states, running scripts and flows, and the S3 helpers below (`loadS3File`, `loadS3FileStream`, `writeS3File`, `S3Object`). It handles auth, the workspace, and the base URL for you. Reserve raw `fetch` for calling *external* HTTP APIs that aren't Windmill.

The full `windmill-client` API reference (every exported function and its signature) is included in this skill below — consult it for the exact method instead of hand-rolling a `fetch` against the Windmill API.

## Preprocessor Scripts

For preprocessor scripts, the function should be named `preprocessor` and receives an `event` parameter:

```typescript
//native
type Event = {
  kind:
    | "webhook"
    | "http"
    | "websocket"
    | "kafka"
    | "email"
    | "nats"
    | "postgres"
    | "sqs"
    | "mqtt"
    | "gcp";
  body: any;
  headers: Record<string, string>;
  query: Record<string, string>;
};

export async function preprocessor(event: Event) {
  return {
    param1: event.body.field1,
    param2: event.query.id,
  };
}
```

## S3 Object Operations

Windmill provides built-in support for S3-compatible storage operations. The `wmill.S3Object` type covers both the `s3://storage/key` URI form (`s3:///key` for the workspace default storage) and the `{ s3, storage? }` record form — always use it instead of redefining your own.

### Receiving an S3Object as a script parameter

```typescript
//native
import * as wmill from "windmill-client";

export async function main(file: wmill.S3Object) {
  const content = await wmill.loadS3File(file);
  // ...
}
```

### S3 operations

```typescript
//native
import * as wmill from "windmill-client";

// Load file content from S3
const content: Uint8Array = await wmill.loadS3File(s3object);

// Load file as stream
const blob: Blob = await wmill.loadS3FileStream(s3object);

// Write file to S3
const result: wmill.S3Object = await wmill.writeS3File(
  s3object, // Target path (or undefined to auto-generate)
  fileContent, // string or Blob
  s3ResourcePath // Optional: specific S3 resource to use
);
```
