native-c-node-module

From simple roots, a module will grow.

There's a lot of information about creating native node modules in C++ but few resources on creating native node modules in C. Well, this template is for that.

requirements

• Any operating system that node-gyp works on.
• NodeJS and npm
• Python
• GNU Make. Windows users should use mingw32-make.exe
• clangd (optional)

instructions

1. Clone this repo.
2. Remove files you don't want or need.
3. Edit the package.json and .editorconfig.
4. Inspect the Makefile.
5. When you are satisfied, run make to generate compile_flags.txt for clangd.
6. Run make print to compile and run hello world.
7. Enjoy!

I highly recommend sticking with Make for your build system since it's generally easy to understand.
