Modern C++ Addons for Node.js

on YouTube ↗21m

" summary

Shows a working Node.js C++ addon that generates year calendars using a C++23 module and range-v3, built with CMake + Conan + cmake-js and the node-addon-api C++ wrapper; JavaScript calls return string arrays of calendar lines. Describes packaging: CI builds per-OS (including macOS M1), combining artifacts, and using prebuilds to publish binaries inside the npm package so users avoid local C++ toolchains. Demo hits a build error but overall workflow and deployment are proven.
