I'm writing an Node application (in TS) that needs to be interfaced with some native library.
I have a library (written in C) - let's consider it's a blackbox - and I'm writing a wrapper using NAN. The library native interface can be simplified into a following functions:
typedef void (*got_message_reply_cb)(context ctx, void * priv, struct X * the_reply);
context lib_connect();
bool lib_send_message(context ctx, message msg, got_message_reply_cb callback, void * priv);
I believe this is pretty straight-forward to understand.
So, I'm trying to wrap that black-box native library into something like:
class TheLibrary : public Nan::ObjectWrap {
Initialize(v8::Handle<v8::Object> target);
SendMessage(...)
}
And then to javascript object like:
class TheLibrary {
SendMessage(message: whatever, callback: (reply) => void); // or return promise, doesn't matter
}
How to do the actual handling of the callback in the NAN C++ module? I need to somehow pass the callback (represented probably by Local<Function> - which have, if I understand it correctly, limited scope) as a pointer to the function and then retrieve it back. How to do that? Thanks for your replies.
