# Engine.engine

Creates every Node.js implementation this entrypoint provides, without installing it.

Reach for this where an engine has to exist as a value, such as a benchmark or an [`Engine.with`](/api/Engine/with) scope.

## Imports

:::code-group
```ts [Named]
import { Engine } from 'ox/node'
```

```ts [Entrypoint]
import * as Engine from 'ox/node/Engine'
```

## Examples

```ts twoslash
// @noErrors
import { Engine, Hash } from 'ox'
import { Engine as NodeEngine } from 'ox/node'

const node = await NodeEngine.engine()

Engine.with(node, () => Hash.sha256('0xdeadbeef'))
```

## Definition

```ts
function engine(): Promise<engine.ReturnType>
```

**Source:** [src/node/Engine.ts](https://github.com/wevm/ox/blob/main/src/node/Engine.ts#L87)
