Current Node-API version: 8

(See CHANGELOG.md for complete Changelog)

Introduction

node-api-headers contains the header files for the C-based Node-API provided by Node.js. Node-API is an API for building native addons that guarantees the ABI (Application Binary Interface) stability across versions of Node.js (see: Node-API).

Node-API headers are in the include folder. The Node-APIs that provide ECMAScript features from native code can be found in js_native_api_types.h and js_native_api.h. The APIs defined in these headers are included in node_api_types.h and node_api.h. The headers are structured in this way in order to allow implementations of Node-API outside of Node.js considering that for those implementations the Node.js specific APIs may not be applicable.

node-api-headers is also a package published on npm that could be used in a process to compile and build native addons for Node.js.

Install

npm i node-api-headers

API

        js_native_api_symbols: [
            // List of symbols in js_native_api.h for the version 1.
        ],
        node_api_symbols: [
          // List of symbols in node_api.h for the version 1
        ]
    },
