Node WebIDL

Bindings generator for Node Addons given a WebIDL document.

Installation

$ npm install --global node-webidl

Usage

Generate a Node Addon binding given a C header and annotated Web IDL.

$ webidl-bind [options] [files]

Options

| | | | -------------------------- | --- | | -V, --version | print the version number | | -o, --out-file <path> | redirect generated output to a file | | -h, --help | print usage information |

Binding to C

Given a C source implementation file, e.g. add.h:

float addition(float x, float y) {
  return x + y;
}

Write a Web IDL interface describing how to interop with Node, e.g. add.webidl:

[Bind="add.h"]
interface Add {
  [Bind="addition"]
  float add(float x, float y);
};

Generate bindings:

$ webidl-bind -o add.c add.webidl
