nango-function-builder
Builds Nango Functions (TypeScript createAction/createSync) with checkpoint-first sync patterns, action and sync references, project/root checks, deletion strategies, and a docs-aligned dryrun/test workflow. Use when creating or updating Nango actions or syncs.
120building-nango-functions-locally
Builds Nango Functions in a checked-out Zero YAML TypeScript Nango project using local files, index.ts registration, nango dryrun, generated tests, and optional nango deploy. Use when creating or updating Nango actions or syncs locally.
105migrating-nango-deletion-detection
Migrates Nango syncs from deleteRecordsFromPreviousExecutions()/trackDeletes to trackDeletesStart/trackDeletesEnd for automated deletion detection (including checkpoint-based full refresh). Use when updating existing createSync code.
68building-nango-functions-remotely
Builds Nango Functions without a checked-out Nango project by calling Nango remote compile, dryrun, and deploy endpoints, resolving NANGO_SERVER_URL from env or .env, and using shared action and sync patterns. Use when creating or updating Nango actions or syncs remotely.
33migrating-to-zero-yaml
Manually migrates legacy `nango.yaml` Nango projects to Zero YAML TypeScript by generating `models.ts`, `index.ts`, package/tsconfig scaffolding, and wrapping legacy scripts in `createSync()`, `createAction()`, or `createOnEvent()`. Use when a Nango repo still has `nango.yaml` and needs manual Zero YAML migration.
31migrate-nango-deletion-detection
Migrates Nango syncs from deleteRecordsFromPreviousExecutions()/trackDeletes to trackDeletesStart/trackDeletesEnd for automated deletion detection (including checkpoint-based full refresh). Use when updating existing createSync code.
