node-api-headers

NodeJS API for writing modules in C++

Run the following Vcpkg command to install the port.

vcpkg install node-api-headers

node-api-headers provides CMake targets:

find_package(unofficial-node-api-headers CONFIG REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE unofficial::node-api-headers::node-api-headers)

Add this to your CMakeLists.txt to build a Node.js addon:

add_library(addon SHARED main.cpp ...)
set_target_properties(addon PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME "my-addon" PREFIX "" SUFFIX ".node")
find_package(unofficial-node-api-headers CONFIG REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(addon PRIVATE unofficial::node-api-headers::node-api-headers)

You will be able to load your addon in JavaScript code:

const addon = require("/path/to/addon/my-addon.node");

Make sure that your Node.js OS/architecture matches vcpkg triplet you use.

Also, make sure to register a module in your C/C++ code like official example does:

This port doesn't have specific functionality for publishing npm packages.
