The entry point is src/lib.zig.

Run this project like this:

# 1. Git clone it
git clone https://github.com/felixdrp/node-addon-example-async-work-thread-safe-function-zig.git

# 2. Download Node.js header files
npm run postinstall

# 3. Compile the Zig module and produce `dist/lib.node`
npm run build

# 4. Run example. It will call the `foo()` function from Zig module.
npm run exec

# Bonus: Debug mode (build dev) 🐛
npm run bdev
