A minimal library for building compiled Node add-ons in Rust.
This library depends on N-API and requires Node 8.9 or later. It is still pretty raw and has not been tested in a production setting.
One nice feature is that this crate allows you to build add-ons purely with the Rust toolchain and without involving `node-gyp` .
## Building
2020-02-18 23:05:13 +08:00
This repository is a Cargo crate. Any napi-based add-on should contain `Cargo.toml` to make it a Cargo crate.
2018-04-28 16:26:38 +08:00
2020-02-18 23:05:13 +08:00
In your `Cargo.toml` you need to set the `crate-type` to `"cdylib"` so that cargo builds a C-style shared library that can be dynamically loaded by the Node executable. You'll also need to add this crate as a dependency.
2018-04-28 16:26:38 +08:00
2020-02-18 23:05:13 +08:00
```toml
2018-04-28 16:26:38 +08:00
[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"]
2020-02-18 23:05:13 +08:00
[dependencies]
napi-rs = "0.1"
[build-dependencies]
napi-build = "0.1"
2018-04-28 16:26:38 +08:00
```
2020-02-18 23:05:13 +08:00
And create `build.rs` in your own project:
```rs
// build.rs
extern crate napi_build;
fn main() {
napi_build::setup();
}
```
2018-04-28 16:26:38 +08:00
2020-02-18 23:05:13 +08:00
So far, the `napi` build script has only been tested on `macOS` `Linux` and `Windows x64 MSVC` .
2018-04-28 16:26:38 +08:00
2020-02-18 23:05:13 +08:00
See the included [test_module ](./test_module ) for an example add-on.
2018-04-28 16:26:38 +08:00
2020-02-18 23:05:13 +08:00
Run `cargo build` to produce the `Dynamic lib` file. And install the `napi-rs` to help you copy `Dynamic lib` file to `.node` file in case you can `require` it in your program.
2018-04-28 16:26:38 +08:00
```json
2020-02-18 23:05:13 +08:00
2018-04-28 16:26:38 +08:00
{
2020-02-18 23:05:13 +08:00
"package": "your pkg",
2018-04-28 16:26:38 +08:00
"dependencies": {
2020-02-18 23:05:13 +08:00
"napi-rs": "^0.1"
},
"scripts": {
"build": "cargo build & & napi",
"build-release": "cargo build --release & & napi --release"
2018-04-28 16:26:38 +08:00
}
}
```
2020-02-18 23:05:13 +08:00
Then you can require your native binding:
```js
require('./target/debug|release/[module_name].node')
```
The `module_name` would be your `package` name in your `Cargo.toml` .
`xxx => ./target/debug|release/xxx.node`
`xxx-yyy => ./target/debug|release/xxx_yyy.node`
You can also copy `Dynamic lib` file to an appointed location:
```bash
napi [--release] .
napi [--release] ./mylib
napi [--release] ./mylib.node
```
2018-04-28 16:26:38 +08:00
## Testing
Because libraries that depend on this crate must be loaded into a Node executable in order to resolve symbols, all tests are written in JavaScript in the `test_module` subdirectory.
To run tests:
```sh
cd test_module
npm run build
npm test
```
