feat: add nodejs 22 env

Node.js 22 Runtime Environment with ESM Support

Summary

This PR introduces a separate directory for Nodejs 22 runtime env (server.js) with some dependency updates such as Pino logging instead of Morgan.

Resolves #277

New Features

Node.js 22 Environment

• Dedicated directory: nodejs22/ with complete environment setup
• Latest Node.js: Version 22.17.1 on Alpine Linux 3.22
• ESM support: "type": "module" configuration enables native import/export syntax
• Modern dependencies: Express 5.1.0, Pino logging, WebSocket support

ESM-Ready Examples

All examples use modern ESM syntax and Node.js 22 features:

Example	Description	Node.js 22 Features
hello.js	ESM hello world	ESM module with query params
weather.js	HTTP requests demo	Native fetch API, error handling
multi-entry.js	Multiple endpoints	Named exports, routing
broadcast.js	WebSocket broadcasting	Multi-client messaging with ws 8.18
kubeEventsSlack.js	Kubernetes integration	Event processing, webhooks

Usage

Environment Creation

# Create Node.js 22 environment
fission env create --name node22 --image davidchase03/node-env-22:v2.0.1

# With builder support
fission env create --name node22 --image davidchase03/node-env-22:v2.0.1 --builder node-builder-22

Function Deployment (ESM)

# Deploy ESM function
fission fn create --name hello-esm --env node22 --code hello.js

# Test with query parameters
fission fn test --name hello-esm
curl "$FISSION_ROUTER/hello-esm?name=World"

Modern Function Syntax

// ESM function
export default async function(context) {
    const { query } = context.request;
    return {
        status: 200,
        body: JSON.stringify({
            message: `Hello ${query.name || 'World'} from Node.js 22! 🚀`,
            nodeVersion: process.version
        }),
        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
    }
}

Breaking Changes

None - this is purely additive. Existing nodejs/ environment remains unchanged for backward compatibility.

Testing

• All existing Node.js tests continue to pass
• New Node.js 22 specific test cases in nodejs22/test/
• ESM examples tested with Node.js 22.17.1 runtime

Benefits

• Modern JavaScript: Native ESM, top-level await, latest syntax
• Better Performance: Node.js 22 optimizations and faster startup
• Developer Experience: Modern tooling, better error messages
• Backward Compatible: Existing Node.js environment unaffected

@sanketsudake please let me know what else is needed to get the PR merged, it should include your changes from the #423 PR

@davidchase I was trying common js with ESM module, got following error.

./test/local_test.sh
-- Starting server
Fission Node.js 22 runtime listening on port 8888
-- Specializing
Loading user function from: ./test/test.js with function name: default
user code load error: ReferenceError: module is not defined in ES module scope
This file is being treated as an ES module because it has a '.js' file extension and '/Users/sanketsudake/fission/environments/nodejs/package.json' contains "type": "module". To treat it as a CommonJS script, rename it to use the '.cjs' file extension.
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 500

-- Cleanup
Killing process 24454

So if possible I would consider following approach,

We merge your code with existing nodejs environment, mainly following files

	modified:   nodejs/package-lock.json
	modified:   nodejs/package.json
	modified:   nodejs/server.js

On test side we keep both common js and ES modules testcases and examples.

We can add an environment variable which tells environment if function is ESM or not.
Eg. LOAD_ESM=true/false

Based on ESM set or not we can support both ESM and traditional functions.

I am not sure if this possible, but if we can get something like this that would help current functions as well ESM functions.

We can even create docker images based by setting and unsetting ESM flag.

[davidchase]

@sanketsudake so you dont want to keep separate runtimes envs? meaning those that need legacy support (cjs) would use one version of nodejs like nodejs18 and those using current features which include ESM would use nodejs22 image

[sanketsudake]

So nodejs 18, we can deprecate totally and support node 22 and above only as its LTS now.

I am not expert in nodejs, but just trying to find middle ground so that we dont need to maintain multiple envs per language unnecessarily.

[davidchase]

@sanketsudake i have made updates to the PR with LOAD_ESM env var and added to read me how to use with env flag --runtime-env

[sanketsudake]

Can you please adjust all code under existing nodejs folder so that minimal diff would appear ?

[davidchase]

@sanketsudake ive moved the files into nodejs directory and removed nodejs22 directory and updated tests and added esm examples

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds Node.js 22 runtime environment support with ESM (ECMAScript modules) capabilities to the existing Node.js environment, while maintaining backward compatibility with the original CommonJS-based Node.js runtime.

• Converts the existing Node.js runtime to support both ESM and CJS module loading modes
• Updates dependencies to modern versions (Express 5.1.0, Pino logging, WebSocket 8.18.3)
• Adds comprehensive test coverage for both ESM and CJS function formats
