I have done some searching and the only reference I can find is an old project (12 years old) called node-edi-parser.
Is anyone aware of any new development efforts? I would like to create an EDI to Shopify system.
...is this EDI as in EDIFACT?
That could result in a major effort to maintain, as the standard is reworked/updated every 1-2 years by the EU stanards committee.
Also, in order to use this in a business context - AFAIK - the company that deploys/uses this (like in a shop) must provide a certificate from the manufacurer/developing company, that a certain version of EDIFACT passed the standards test. At least if this is used for sending bills.

As of now it would be X12 only and for a single customer. Mainly order processing and shipment info. Not sure if they want invoicing or not.
Ah, ASC-X12, then...what about this: node-x12 - npm
Still old but not that old....a newer version (version 2) did not make it to public although the author promises otherwise on that page I linked.
Ah, only 2 years old. I will take a look at this.
Thanks
good luck.
If you want to take on that endeavor yourself, maybe look into GitHub - Steve-Mcl/node-red-contrib-buffer-parser: A node-red node to convert values in a buffer, integer array or hex string into many different data type(s). Supports Big/Little Endian, BCD, byte swapping and much more. ...biggest challenge would be, as I understand EDI from my experience in the good old day, to tackle variable repeats / occurances of information-objects in a message/buffer..
