+const builder = new NestLocalBuilder({

+## API Signature
+
+### Constructor
+
+`new NestLocalBuilder(options?)` creates a builder for the given options.
+
+### Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `options` | `NestBuilderOptions` | Optional. Configures the workflow build. |
+
+#### NestBuilderOptions
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `workingDir` | `string` | `process.cwd()` | Working directory for the NestJS application. |
+| `dirs` | `string[]` | `['src']` | Directories to scan for workflow files. |
+| `outDir` | `string` | `'.nestjs/workflow'` (relative to `workingDir`) | Output directory for generated workflow bundles. |
+| `watch` | `boolean` | `false` | Enable watch mode for development. |
+| `moduleType` | `'es6' \| 'commonjs'` | `'es6'` | SWC module compilation type. When `'commonjs'`, the builder rewrites externalized imports in the steps bundle to use `require()` via `createRequire`, avoiding ESM/CJS named-export interop issues with SWC's output. |
+| `distDir` | `string` | `'dist'` | Directory where NestJS compiles `.ts` source files to `.js` (relative to `workingDir`). Used when `moduleType` is `'commonjs'` to resolve compiled file paths. Should match the `outDir` in your `tsconfig.json`. |
+| `sourcemap` | `boolean \| 'inline' \| 'linked' \| 'external' \| 'both'` | `'inline'` | Controls source maps on generated workflow bundles. Accepts the same values as esbuild's `sourcemap` option. Can also be set via the `WORKFLOW_SOURCEMAP` environment variable. |
+
+### Methods
+
+#### `build()`
+
+Builds the workflow bundles. Writes `steps.mjs`, `workflows.mjs`, `webhook.mjs`, and `manifest.json` to the output directory (plus a `.gitignore` covering the generated files when not deploying to Vercel). Returns `Promise<void>`.
+
+### Properties
+
+#### `outDir`
+
+Read-only getter that returns the output directory for generated workflow bundles — the `outDir` option as passed, or the default `.nestjs/workflow` resolved against `workingDir`.
+
+### Returns
+
+The constructor returns a `NestLocalBuilder` instance.

+| `distDir` | `string` | `'dist'` | Directory where NestJS compiles `.ts` source files to `.js` (relative to `workingDir`). Used when `moduleType` is `'commonjs'`. Should match the `outDir` in your `tsconfig.json`. |

+- Builds the workflow, step, and webhook bundles, and rebuilds them on file changes in development.
+- Registers the workflow runtime routes under `/.well-known/workflow/v1/`.
+- Serves a redirect to the local observability dashboard at `/_workflow` in development.
+- Configures Vercel function rules (queue triggers and `maxDuration`) for the workflow routes when deploying to Vercel.

+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `dirs` | `string[]` | — | Directories to scan for workflows and steps. By default, the `workflows/` directory is scanned from the project root and all layer source directories. |
+| `typescriptPlugin` | `boolean` | `false` | Adds the `workflow` TypeScript plugin to the generated `tsconfig.json` for IDE IntelliSense. |
+| `runtime` | `string` | — | Node.js runtime version for Vercel Functions (e.g. `'nodejs22.x'`, `'nodejs24.x'`). Only applies when deploying to Vercel. |
+| `sourcemap` | `boolean \| 'inline' \| 'linked' \| 'external' \| 'both'` | `'inline'` | Controls source maps on generated workflow bundles. Accepts the same values as esbuild's `sourcemap` option. Set to `false` for smaller function bundles (useful for staying under the Vercel 250MB function size limit) at the cost of stack traces pointing at generated code. Can also be set via the `WORKFLOW_SOURCEMAP` environment variable. |
+
+## Vite-based Nitro
+
+If you use Nitro through its Vite plugin (`nitro/vite`) instead of a standalone `nitro.config.ts`, use the [`workflow/vite`](/docs/api-reference/workflow-vite) entry point, which wraps this module as a Vite plugin and accepts the same `ModuleOptions`.
