node-bindgen-loader v1.0.1

node-bindgen-loader

Bindings loader for node-bindgen that supports prebuilds.

npm install node-bindgen-loader

Based on neon-load-or-build except it does not conditionally compile your node-bindgen module.

Usage

In your node-bindgen module's index.js, instead of using the default require('./dist/index.node'), use node-bindgen to load your binding.

module.exports = require('node-bindgen-loader')({
  moduleName: 'my-package', // optional but recommended
  dir: __dirname,
})

When targeting nodejs-mobile, you must have moduleName, because it more accurately finds the correct path on both iOS and Android, even if you use noderify (or even if you don't).

Prebuilds will be attempted loaded from MODULE_PATH/prebuilds/ and then next EXEC_PATH/prebuilds/.

Supported prebuild names

If so desired you can bundle more specific flavors, for example musl builds to support Alpine, or targeting a numbered ARM architecture version.

These prebuilds can be bundled in addition to generic prebuilds; node-bindgen-loader will try to find the most specific flavor first. Prebuild filenames are composed of tags. The runtime tag takes precedence, as does an abi tag over napi. For more details on tags, please see prebuildify.

Values for the libc and armv tags are auto-detected but can be overridden through the LIBC and ARM_VERSION environment variables, respectively.
