Migration Script
The migration tool is designed to reduce repetitive work in the migration process. However, the script is not aiming to convert every thing for you. There are usually some small fixes and major reconstruction required.
How To Use
To run the conversion script, first make sure you have the latest node-addon-api
in your node_modules
directory.
npm install node-addon-api
Then run the script passing your project directory
node ./node_modules/node-addon-api/tools/conversion.js ./
After finish, recompile and debug things that are missed by the script.
Quick Fixes
Here is the list of things that can be fixed easily.
- Change your methods' return value to void if it doesn't return value to JavaScript.
- Use
.
to access attribute or to invoke member function in Napi::Object instead of->
. Napi::New(env, value);
to `Napi::[Type]::New(env, value);
Major Reconstructions
The implementation of Napi::ObjectWrap
is significantly different from NAN's. Napi::ObjectWrap
takes a pointer to the wrapped object and creates a reference to the wrapped object inside ObjectWrap constructor. Napi::ObjectWrap
also associates wrapped object's instance methods to Javascript module instead of static methods like NAN.
So if you use Nan::ObjectWrap in your module, you will need to execute the following steps.
- Convert your [ClassName]::New function to a constructor function that takes a
Napi::CallbackInfo
. Declare it as
[ClassName](const Napi::CallbackInfo& info);
and define it as
[ClassName]::[ClassName](const Napi::CallbackInfo& info) : Napi::ObjectWrap<[ClassName]>(info){
...
}
This way, the Napi::ObjectWrap
constructor will be invoked after the object has been instantiated and Napi::ObjectWrap
can use the this
pointer to create a reference to the wrapped object.
- Move your original constructor code into the new constructor. Delete your original constructor.
- In your class initialization function, associate native methods in the following way. The
&
character before methods is required because they are not static methods but instance methods.
Napi::FunctionReference constructor;
void [ClassName]::Init(Napi::Env env, Napi::Object exports, Napi::Object module) {
Napi::HandleScope scope(env);
Napi::Function ctor = DefineClass(env, "Canvas", {
InstanceMethod<&[ClassName]::Func1>("Func1"),
InstanceMethod<&[ClassName]::Func2>("Func2"),
InstanceAccessor<&[ClassName]::ValueGetter>("Value"),
StaticMethod<&[ClassName]::StaticMethod>("MethodName"),
InstanceValue("Value", Napi::[Type]::New(env, value)),
});
constructor = Napi::Persistent(ctor);
constructor .SuppressDestruct();
exports.Set("[ClassName]", ctor);
}
- In function where you need to Unwrap the ObjectWrap in NAN like
[ClassName]* native = Nan::ObjectWrap::Unwrap<[ClassName]>(info.This());
, usethis
pointer directly as the unwrapped object as each ObjectWrap instance is associated with a unique object instance.
