Function

The Napi::Function class provides a set of methods for creating a function object in native code that can later be called from JavaScript. The created function is not automatically visible from JavaScript. Instead it needs to be part of the add-on's module exports or be returned by one of the module's exported functions.

In addition the Napi::Function class also provides methods that can be used to call functions that were created in JavaScript and passed to the native add-on.

The Napi::Function class inherits its behavior from the Napi::Object class (for more info see: Napi::Object).

For callbacks that will be called with asynchronous events from a non-JavaScript thread, please refer to Napi::ThreadSafeFunction for more examples.

Example

#include <napi.h>

using namespace Napi;

Value Fn(const CallbackInfo& info) {
  Env env = info.Env();
  // ...
  return String::New(env, "Hello World");
}

Object Init(Env env, Object exports) {
  exports.Set(String::New(env, "fn"), Function::New<Fn>(env));
  return exports;
}

NODE_API_MODULE(NODE_GYP_MODULE_NAME, Init)

The above code can be used from JavaScript as follows:

const addon = require('./addon');
addon.fn();

With the Napi::Function class it is possible to call a JavaScript function object from a native add-on with two different methods: Call and MakeCallback. The API of these two methods is very similar, but they are used in different contexts. The MakeCallback method is used to call from native code back into JavaScript after returning from an asynchronous operation and in general in situations which don't have an existing JavaScript function on the stack. The Call method is used when there is already a JavaScript function on the stack (for example when running a native method called from JavaScript).

Type definitions

Napi::Function::VoidCallback

This is the type describing a callback returning void that will be invoked from JavaScript.

typedef void (*VoidCallback)(const Napi::CallbackInfo& info);

Napi::Function::Callback

This is the type describing a callback returning a value that will be invoked from JavaScript.

typedef Value (*Callback)(const Napi::CallbackInfo& info);
