Next Generation N-API: A Hands-on Workshop
summary
Hands-on coverage of N-API v1–v6 shows exact APIs and build tools used: thread-safe functions (v4) for safe cross-thread callbacks, napi_set_instance_data (experimental toward v6) and cleanup hooks/finalizers to avoid worker-thread leaks, and the v5 finalizer/date additions. Examples use node-addon-api (C++ wrapper, 300k downloads/week), binding.gyp, prebuild/node-pre-gyp and cmake-js for distributing binaries, and step-by-step porting tutorials that demonstrate compiling, running, and cleaning up native add-ons across Node versions.
