Overview
node-cpp-skel is a skeleton project for writing C++ addons for Node.js with node-addon-api. It generates simple HelloWorld JavaScript constructors whose methods show different ways to use the Node C++ API, including asynchronous functions. The README explains that moving heavy work into C++ and C++ workers can keep the single-threaded Node event loop free. You can copy it as a template for your own addon or read it to learn how addons are structured.
Key features
- HelloWorld examples in C++ using node-addon-api
- Methods showing different addon patterns, such as async functions
- Works as a template for new addons
- Doubles as a learning resource for Node/C++ beginners
Best for
Developers starting a Node.js C++ addon who want a working structure to copy. It is a small example set, not a full library.
