The HandleScope class is used to manage the lifetime of object handles which are created through the use of node-addon-api. These handles keep an object alive in the heap in order to ensure that the objects are not collected while native code is using them. A handle may be created when any new node-addon-api Value or one of its subclasses is created or returned. For more details refer to the section titled Object lifetime management.
Creates a new handle scope on the stack.
Napi::HandleScope::HandleScope(Napi::Env env);
[in] env
: The environment in which to construct the Napi::HandleScope
object.Returns a new Napi::HandleScope
Creates a new handle scope on the stack.
Napi::HandleScope::HandleScope(Napi::Env env, Napi::HandleScope scope);
[in] env
: Napi::Env
in which the scope passed in was created.[in] scope
: pre-existing Napi::HandleScope
.Returns a new Napi::HandleScope
instance which wraps the napi_handle_scope
handle passed in. This can be used to mix usage of the C N-API
and node-addon-api.
operator HandleScope::napi_handle_scope
operator Napi::HandleScope::napi_handle_scope() const
Returns the N-API napi_handle_scope wrapped by the Napi::EscapableHandleScope
object.
This can be used to mix usage of the C N-API and node-addon-api by allowing
the class to be used be converted to a napi_handle_scope.
Napi::HandleScope::~HandleScope();
Deletes the Napi::HandleScope
instance and allows any objects/handles created
in the scope to be collected by the garbage collector. There is no
guarantee as to when the gargbage collector will do this.
Napi::Env Napi::HandleScope::Env() const;
Returns the Napi::Env
associated with the Napi::HandleScope
.
