Brick catalogue

Add a brick, get a feature. Each one contributes a capability to the request context, fully typed — and leaving it out makes using it a compile error rather than a crash at 3am.

Every page below answers the same questions in the same order: what it installs, what files and tables it creates, what endpoints it adds, and what it cannot do. If a brick has no endpoints, its page says so rather than omitting the section.

Bricks are not middleware

CORS, rate limiting, compression and security headers ship in core as middleware, because they wrap a request rather than add a capability. A brick is the other thing: it puts something new on the context.

Writing your own

The brick contract is small and public — see Writing a brick for the interface and how types flow. A third-party brick is a normal npm package that exports a factory function; nothing about the first-party ones is privileged.
