Integrate Into OGA

Welcome to the Xplore Nodes Integration Guide. This section provides comprehensive instructions for integrating a new node into the Xplore Nodes Template system.

What is OGA?

The Xplore Nodes system follows a modular architecture where each node implements a standardized interface. The system consists of:

• Node Interface: Defines the contract that all nodes must implement
• Router: Routes requests to appropriate nodes based on node ID
• State Management: Handles node registration and synchronization
• Error Handling: Standardized error reporting across all nodes
• Type System: Shared types for requests, responses, and data structures

Quick Start

1. Prerequisites: Ensure you have Node.js v20+, TypeScript knowledge, and API access
2. Architecture: Understand the system architecture and how nodes fit in
3. Integration: Follow the step-by-step integration guide
4. Testing: Write tests and verify your implementation
5. Best Practices: Follow established patterns for robust implementations

If you encounter issues not covered in this guide:

1. Check existing node implementations for reference (NEAR, Meson, GasZip, Mayan)
2. Review error logs for specific error messages
3. Test with minimal implementations first
4. Check the main repository for updates and examples
