What
Creates a Hello World Node.js Addon using C++ code that gets compiled into a requirable Node package.
Why
To lay the base to begin hooking into Poppler's
pdffonts
.Notes
node-gyp
(which comes with every installation of Node) to build/compile the C++ code.nan
so that it can be targeted for many different versions of Node with one consistent API, even though v8's API have changed drastically.build/Release
,build/Debug
,build/default
,build/Release/bindings
, etc.). So instead of having a bunch oftry/catch
s orfs.exists
s,bindings
takes care of that.
