Checker Tool

node-addon-api provides a checker tool that will inspect a given directory tree, identifying all Node.js native addons therein, and further indicating for each addon whether it is an N-API addon.

To use the checker tool:

  1. Install the application with npm install.

  2. If the application does not depend on node-addon-api, copy the checker tool into the application's directory.

  3. If the application does not depend on node-addon-api, run the checker tool from the application's directory:

     node ./check-napi.js
    

    Otherwise, the checker tool can be run from the application's node_modules/ subdirectory:

     node ./node_modules/node-addon-api/tools/check-napi.js
    

The tool accepts the root directory from which to start checking for Node.js native addons as a single optional command line parameter. If ommitted it will start checking from the current directory (.).
