Overview
node-pre-gyp is a Node.js tool for publishing and installing C++ addons as prebuilt binaries. It sits between npm and node-gyp and gives addon authors a cross-platform way to deploy binaries, so people installing the package do not have to compile it themselves. It is installed as a dependency of the addon and run through its own command line tool.
Key features
- Command line tool that installs a package's C++ module from a binary
- Commands for building, packaging, testing and publishing binaries
- Options to build from source or fall back to a build
- JavaScript module that finds and requires the installed binary
Best for
Authors of Node.js C++ addons who want users to install prebuilt binaries instead of compiling. Its configuration expects entries in package.json and an S3 client for publishing.
