Node.js Bindings
When embedding fallow inside a Node.js process (editor extensions, long-running servers, custom tooling), prefer the NAPI bindings over spawning the CLI. Same analysis engine, same JSON envelopes, no subprocess or JSON parsing overhead.
npm install @fallow-cli/fallow-node
import { detectDeadCode, detectDuplication, computeHealth } from '@fallow-cli/fallow-node';
const deadCode = await detectDeadCode({ root: process.cwd(), explain: true });
const dupes = await detectDuplication({ root: process.cwd(), mode: 'mild', minTokens: 30 });
const health = await computeHealth({ root: process.cwd(), score: true, ownershipEmails: 'handle' });
Six async functions: detectDeadCode, detectCircularDependencies, detectBoundaryViolations, detectDuplication, computeComplexity, computeHealth. Each returns the same JSON envelope the CLI emits for --format json. Rejected promises throw a FallowNodeError with message, exitCode, and optional code, help, context fields that mirror the CLI's structured error surface.
Enum-like fields take lowercase CLI-style literals ("mild", "cyclomatic", "handle", "low"). Write-path commands (fix, init, hooks install, hooks uninstall, license activate, coverage setup) are not exposed; use the CLI for those.
See https://docs.fallow.tools/integrations/node-bindings for the full field reference.
