Node API

[Alex Garcia]

Currently dataflow is a CLI that you install and use by itself, but I could see how a Node API would be useful. Here's some ideas of what could be exposed (and how users could use it):

• Compiling .ojs code to .js
  • Dataflow specific compiling, not compiling ojs in general (use the compiler for that)
  • For plugins like webpack, esbuild, rollup, etc.
• Start the dataflow run dev server with options
• Export the StandardLibrary to make it install-able (basically with observablehq/htl

fyi running dataflow under electron with nodeIntegration: true is a quick way to achieve this
