## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
This module contains numerous helpers for Node.js **NAPI**
|
|
addons and dependency packages. On this page, helper scripts
|
|
are described. For details on **addon-tools.hpp** and some
|
|
additional snippets follow the links below.
|
|
|
|
**Go to**:
|
|
|
|
* [include/addon-tools.hpp](doc/addon-tools.md)
|
|
|
|
Macro shortcuts for C++ addons using **NAPI**.
|
|
* [Es5 Class Wrapping](doc/class-wrapping.md)
|
|
|
|
An alternative, lightweight native class-defining mechanism for addons.
|
|
* [Snippets](doc/snippets.md)
|
|
|
|
Some repetitive bits of code for addons.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## index.js
|
|
|
|
Main exports for cross-platform addon configuration.
|
|
* `paths(dir)` - function. Returns a set of platform dependent paths depending on
|
|
input `dir`.
|
|
* `bin` - platform binary directory absolute path.
|
|
* `include` - include directory for this `dir`.
|
|
* `include` - both `'addon-tools-raub'` and `'node-addon-api'` include paths.
|
|
Use with `node -p` through list context command expansion `<!@(...)`.
|
|
* `bin` - platform-dependent binary directory name.
|
|
* `platform` - platform name: `'windows', 'linux', 'osx'`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## download.js
|
|
|
|
Downloads a file into the memory, **HTTP** or **HTTPS**.
|
|
`async WritableBuffer download(string url)` - accepts an **URL**, and
|
|
returns an in-memory buffer, when file is loaded.
|
|
|
|
Example use:
|
|
```
|
|
download(srcUrl).then(
|
|
data => useData(data),
|
|
err => emit('error', err)
|
|
);
|
|
// or
|
|
const data = await download(srcUrl);
|
|
useData(data);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## cpbin.js
|
|
|
|
Copies the addon binary from **src/build/Release** to the platform folder.
|
|
It is useful for development builds. Use it in your **src/package.json**:
|
|
```
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"build": "node-gyp rebuild && node -e \"require('addon-tools-raub/cpbin')('ADDON')\""
|
|
},
|
|
```
|
|
Here ADDON should be replaced with the name of your addon, without `.node` extension.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## install.js
|
|
|
|
Downloads and unzips the platform specific binary for the calling package.
|
|
To use it, create a new script for your package, which may as well be named
|
|
**install.js**, with the following content:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
'use strict';
|
|
const install = require('addon-tools-raub/install');
|
|
const prefix = 'https://github.com/USER/ADDON-NAME/releases/download';
|
|
const tag = process.env.npm_package_config_install;
|
|
install(`${prefix}/${tag}`);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `prefix` - the constant base part of the download url.
|
|
* `tag` - the version-dependent part of the url,
|
|
here `process.env.npm_package_config_install` is taken
|
|
([automatically](https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/config#per-package-config-settings))
|
|
from **package.json**:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
"config": {
|
|
"install": "v2.0.0"
|
|
},
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"postinstall": "node install"
|
|
},
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## writable-buffer.js
|
|
|
|
A [Writable](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_writable_streams)
|
|
stream buffer, that is stored in-memory and can be fully
|
|
obtained when writing was finished. It is equivalent to stream-writing
|
|
a temporary file and then reading it into a `Buffer`.
|
|
|
|
Use `stream.get()` to obtain the data when writing was finished:
|
|
```
|
|
const stream = new WritableBuffer();
|
|
// ...
|
|
sourceStream.pipe(stream);
|
|
sourceStream.on('end', () => useData(stream.get()));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
