I created this simple API to allow code written in C/C++ to run in Node.js. This type of API will come in handy when importing AI & Data Science projects into web applications. We use TypeScript primarily to write code for web apps, TypeScript code is then convereted into JavaScript for cross-browser compatibility.
Make sure you have the latest long-term support version of Node (v 18.+) & a supported version of Python. (Python >= v3.12 requires node-gyp >= v10)
Install the gcc/g++ compiler for Node.js, node-gyp globally
npm install -g node-gyp
If you are using Windows, make sure you execute these commands before installing node-gyp globally:
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
choco install python visualstudio2022-workload-vctools -y
node-gyp configure --msvs_version=2015
Compile C/C++ code by executing npm run build, this instruction replaces node-gyp configure && node-gyp build
To delete past builds, execute node-gyp clean
To clear the build, re-configure, and re-build run node-gyp clear
