Node client reference

The Node client is pkg/client-js/meshbench.mjs in the meshbench repository: one zero-dependency ES module on the same control socket as the Go and Python clients:

npm install @meshbench/client

import { Workbench } from "@meshbench/client";

Needs Node 18 or newer, and the meshbench binary on PATH. See Installing a client.

It is the thinnest of the three - a connection, one call method, and the handshake - because Node scripting so far is the cookbook's small-mesh example and little else. Where the Go and Python clients put a generated façade of typed methods and closed enums over the socket, this one does not: a generated enum buys compile-time safety that a client with no compiler cannot spend. Every verb is still reachable, by name, through call; the control socket reference lists them.

The surface#

Every export of the Node client - the classes with their constructors, properties and methods, the module functions and the constants - lifted from the JSDoc in pkg/client-js/meshbench.mjs, so it cannot drift from the module a script imports. Start at Scripting a session for how a session is opened, and the cookbook for whole programs.
