This library depends on Node-API and requires `Node@10.0.0` or later.

We already have some packages written by `napi-rs`: [node-rs](https://github.com/napi-rs/node-rs)

One nice feature is that this crate allows you to build add-ons purely with the `Rust/JavaScript` toolchain and without involving `node-gyp`.

## Taste

> You can start from [package-template](https://github.com/napi-rs/package-template) to play with `napi-rs`

### Define JavaScript functions

```rust
#[js_function(1)] // ------> arguments length
fn fibonacci(ctx: CallContext) -> Result<JsNumber> {
  let n = ctx.get::<JsNumber>(0)?.try_into()?;
  ctx.env.create_int64(fibonacci_native(n))
}

#[inline(always)]
fn fibonacci_native(n: i64) -> i64 {
  match n {
    1 | 2 => 1,
    _ => fibonacci_native(n - 1) + fibonacci_native(n - 2),
  }
}
```

### Register module

```rust
#[macro_use]
extern crate napi_derive;

use napi::{JsObject, Result};

/// `exports` is `module.exports` object in NodeJS
#[module_exports]
fn init(mut exports: JsObject) -> Result<()> {
  exports.create_named_method("fibonacci", fibonacci)?;
  Ok(())
}
```

And you can also create `JavaScript` value while registering module:

```rust
#[macro_use]
extern crate napi_derive;

use napi::{JsObject, Result, Env};

#[module_exports]
fn init(mut exports: JsObject, env: Env) -> Result<()> {
  exports.create_named_method("fibonacci", fibonacci)?;
  exports.set_named_property("DEFAULT_VALUE", env.create_int64(100)?)?;
  Ok(())
}
```

## Building

This repository is a `Cargo` crate. Any napi-based add-on should contain `Cargo.toml` to make it a Cargo crate.

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.

```toml
[package]
name = "awesome"

[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"]

[dependencies]
napi = "1"
napi-derive = "1"

[build-dependencies]
napi-build = "1"
```

And create `build.rs` in your own project:

```rust
// build.rs
extern crate napi_build;

fn main() {
  napi_build::setup();
}
```

So far, the `napi` build script has only been tested on `macOS` `Linux` `Windows x64 MSVC` and `FreeBSD`.

See the included [test_module](./test_module) for an example add-on.

Install the `@napi-rs/cli` to help you build your `Rust` codes and copy `Dynamic lib` file to `.node` file in case you can `require` it in your program.

```js
{
  "package": "awesome-package",
  "devDependencies": {
    "@napi-rs/cli": "^1.0.0"
  },
  "napi": {
    "name": "jarvis" // <----------- Config the name of native addon, or the napi command will use the name of `Cargo.toml` for the binary file name.
  },
  "scripts": {
    "build": "napi build --release",
    "build:debug": "napi build"
  }
}
```

Then you can require your native binding:

```js
require('./jarvis.node')
```

The `module_name` would be your `package` name in your `Cargo.toml`.

`xxx => ./xxx.node`

`xxx-yyy => ./xxx_yyy.node`

You can also copy `Dynamic lib` file to an appointed location:

```bash
napi build [--release] ./dll
napi build [--release] ./artifacts
```

There are [documents](./cli) which contains more details about the `@napi-rs/cli` usage.

## 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
yarn build:test
yarn test
```

> I have no plan to implement `nape_type_tag` and related API in `napi-rs`, because we have implemented a `rust` replacement in [TaggedObject](https://github.com/napi-rs/napi-rs/blob/main/napi/src/js_values/tagged_object.rs) which is more convenient and more compatible.
