node-addon-example-function-call-zig

Example of addon using Zig lang. This example will call a JavaScript function from a native add-on. This is the primary mechanism of calling back from the add-on's native code into JavaScript.
For the special case of calling into JavaScript after an async operation, see napi_make_callback [github].

Node.js Native Module written in Zig

This project is an example Hello World for making a Node.js native module in Zig. To install Zig:

• https://ziglang.org/download/
• https://snapcraft.io/zig

The entry point is src/lib.zig.

Run this project like this:

# 1. Git clone it
git clone https://github.com/felixdrp/node-addon-example-function-call-zig.git

# 2. Download Node.js header files
npm run postinstall

# 3. Compile the Zig module and produce `dist/lib.node`
npm run build

# 4. Run example. It will call the `foo()` function from Zig module.
npm run exec

# Bonus: Debug mode (build dev) 🐛
npm run bdev
