How to use the compiled webpack front-end js script using NodeJS?

Hello

One easy method to implement was to wrap dfx calls with some using child_process… But I think it could be nice to just re-use the compiled webpack javascript for the front-end.

Basically what I am trying to do is to have a NodeJS version of the front-end script that would call the ICP Endpoint (per default http://localhost:8000).

What I am basically do is:

  • dfx build
  • import the included user JS library in dfinity (lib.node.js )

How could I make it so that :

  • I don’t use the dfx but the javascript IDL using nodeJS

Open question: Any ETA of a NodeJS library/docs to interact with ICP ?
