NodeJS Embedded Application Run-time for C++

Example - Simple

#include <unistd.h>

#include <near.hpp>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  const char* userScript = "console.log(process.version)";
  nearInit(nullptr, userScript, nullptr, nullptr, nullptr);

  usleep(1000*1000);
  return 0;
}

Example - Full

#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#include <near.hpp>

#ifdef _WIN32
#include <windows.h>
#define SLEEP_ONE_SECOND Sleep(1000);
#else
#include <unistd.h>
#define SLEEP_ONE_SECOND usleep(1000*1000);
#endif

app.js

'use strict'

// print near.version
console.log(`node :: near.version = ${near.version}`);

// assgined from example.cpp
console.log(`node :: _v = ${_v}`);

var num = 42;
var foo = 'foo';

near.on('test', function(x){
  console.log(`node :: near.on(test) = ${x}`);
});

var result = near.hostCall('dory', {num, foo});
console.log(`node :: near.hostCall() = ${result}`);

// exit after 2 secs
(function(){setTimeout(function(){
	process.exitCode = 42;
},2000)})();
