node-addon-api module

NPM NPM

This module contains header-only C++ wrapper classes which simplify the use of the C based Node-API provided by Node.js when using C++. It provides a C++ object model and exception handling semantics with low overhead.

API References

API references are available in the doc directory.

Current version: 8.0.0

(See CHANGELOG.md for complete Changelog)

node-addon-api is based on Node-API and supports using different Node-API versions. This allows addons built with it to run with Node.js versions which support the targeted Node-API version. However the node-addon-api support model is to support only the active LTS Node.js versions. This means that every year there will be a new major which drops support for the Node.js LTS version which has gone out of service.

The oldest Node.js version supported by the current version of node-addon-api is Node.js 18.x.

Badges

The use of badges is recommended to indicate the minimum version of Node-API required for the module. This helps to determine which Node.js major versions are supported. Addon maintainers can consult the Node-API support matrix to determine which Node.js versions provide a given Node-API version. The following badges are available:

Node-API v1 Badge Node-API v2 Badge Node-API v3 Badge Node-API v4 Badge Node-API v5 Badge Node-API v6 Badge Node-API v7 Badge Node-API v8 Badge Node-API v9 Badge Node-API Experimental Version Badge
