This library depends on Node-API and requires [email protected]
or later.
We already have some packages written by 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
.
You can start from package-template to play with
napi-rs
/// import the preludes
use napi::bindgen_prelude::*;
use napi_derive::napi;
/// module registration is done by the runtime, no need to explicitly do it now.
#[napi]
fn fibonacci(n: u32) -> u32 {
match n {
1 | 2 => 1,
_ => fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2),
}
}
/// use `Fn`, `FnMut` or `FnOnce` traits to defined JavaScript callbacks
/// the return type of callbacks can only be `Result`.
#[napi]
fn get_cwd<T: Fn(String) -> Result<()>>(callback: T) {
callback(env::current_dir().unwrap().to_string_lossy().to_string()).unwrap();
}
/// or, define the callback signature in where clause
#[napi]
fn test_callback<T>(callback: T)
where T: Fn(String) -> Result<()>
{}
/// async fn, require `async` feature enabled.
/// [dependencies]
/// napi = {version="2", features=["async"]}
#[napi]
async fn read_file_async(path: String) -> Result<Buffer> {
tokio::fs::read(path)
.map(|r| match r {
Ok(content) => Ok(content.into()),
Err(e) => Err(Error::new(
Status::GenericFailure,
format!("failed to read file, {}", e),
)),
})
.await
}

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.
[package]
name = "awesome"
[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"]
[dependencies]
napi = "2"
napi-derive = "2"
[build-dependencies]
napi-build = "1"
And create build.rs
in your own project:
// 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
.
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.
{
"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:
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:
napi build [--release] ./dll
napi build [--release] ./artifacts
There are documents which contains more details about the @napi-rs/cli
usage.
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:
yarn build:test
yarn test
