This is the official documentation of the `@forestadmin/agent` Node.js agent.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
We are well aware that Forest Admin is a commercial project, and asking for open-source contributions may seem off-limits to some.

However, if you have written a data source, open-sourcing it on our repository also has advantages for you.
{% endhint %}

Did you write a reusable data source for a SaaS, or to a database vendor that we don't support?

At Forest Admin, we would love to see it!

## How to suggest a new data source

Would you consider making a [Pull Request](https://github.com/ForestAdmin/agent-nodejs/pulls)?

### Conditions

When suggesting a new data source, reach out to us and we'll work together to bring your data source to the standards that we follow.

However note that:

* We'll merge only data sources to SaaS which have enough traction (so that it is likely that other customers than you will use them)
* You must use TypeScript
* Translating data sources are preferred (when implementing one is possible, depending on the target API)

### Once merged

Once data sources are merged into the agent repository, we try very hard to:

* Maintain them up-to-date on each new release of Forest Admin
* Maintain high to very-high test coverage
* Maintain public and up-to-date documentation
