nodejs-sys

Bindings for NodeJS' N-API.

Requirements

This crate needs llvm at build-time, since it generates bindings at build-time (by using bindgen).

For Debian/Ubuntu that's a simple apt install llvm libclang-dev.

Different API versions may be selected via feature-flag. See the N-API Version Matrix for details.

napi_v5 supported by all actively maintained NodeJS releases
napi_v6 supported by all actively maintained NodeJS releases
napi_v7 supported by all actively maintained NodeJS releases
napi_v8 requires at least 15.12.0, this is the default (if no flag is given)
the experimental N-API features may be enabled via feature flag experimental (off by default)

Not all NodeJS Versions change the N-API, so nodejs-sys gets an update only if the relevant headers have been changed between node versions.

See the (autogenerated) changelog for links to detailed upstream commits.

This crate is very low-level. See neon, they provide N-API Support.

But of course you may also use this crate directly, LogRocket has a nice blog post: Rust and Node.js: A match made in heaven.
