Zelavis

The Zelavis class is the main entry point. It holds configuration, lazily initializes the runtime on the first request, and exposes the Web-standard request-handling methods used by long-running hosts.

Zelavis API routes are the stable transport surface for platform capabilities. The dashboard should call the same capability endpoints that CLI commands, AI agents, scripts, plugins, and external admin tools can call.

import { Zelavis } from 'zelavis';

export const zv = new Zelavis({ adapter });

Constructor

new Zelavis(options?: ZelavisOptions)

ZelavisOptions

Option	Type	Description
adapter	ZelavisAdapter	Runtime adapter supplying host resources such as storage and KV. See Adapters.
rootPath	string	URL prefix where Zelavis is mounted. Defaults to /zelavis.
api	ZelavisApiOptions	Options for the internal API router.
services	ZelavisServiceRegistryOptions	Static service entries and registry store.
onError	ZelavisServerErrorHandler	Global error handler called on unhandled runtime errors.

ZelavisApiOptions

Option	Type	Description
prefix	string	Path prefix for API routes under rootPath.
version	string	API version string included in route paths.

Methods

fetch

zv.fetch(request: Request, context?: ZelavisServerExecutionContext): Promise<Response>

Handles an incoming request and returns a standard Response. This is the portable method used by fetch-style self-hosted runtimes.

// React Router resource route
export async function loader({ request }: LoaderFunctionArgs) {
  return zv.fetch(request);
}

export async function action({ request }: ActionFunctionArgs) {
  return zv.fetch(request);
}

dispatch

zv.dispatch(request: Request, context?: ZelavisServerExecutionContext): Promise<ZelavisDispatchResult>

Lower-level alternative to fetch. Returns a structured result object instead of a Response, useful when you need to inspect the matched route or response metadata before sending.

plain

zv.plain(request): Promise<ZelavisPlainResult>

Handles a plain request object for tests and object-in/object-out embedding.

runtime

zv.runtime(): Promise<ZelavisServerRuntime>

Returns the initialized server runtime. The runtime is created lazily on the first call and cached for subsequent requests. Calling this manually is rarely needed — fetch and dispatch call it internally.

platform

zv.platform: ZelavisPlatformContext

Read-only accessor for the resolved platform context, available after the first call to runtime(). Contains the resources and metadata provided by the adapter.
