# `@hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae` - Node.js native addon build tool

[![Build Status](https://github.com/hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae/workflows/Tests/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://github.com/hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae/actions?query=workflow%3ATests+branch%3Amain)

`@hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae` is a cross-platform command-line tool written in Node.js for
compiling native addon modules for Node.js. It contains a vendored copy of the
[gyp-next](https://github.com/nodejs/gyp-next) project that was previously used
by the Chromium team and extended to support the development of Node.js native
addons.

Note that `@hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae` is _not_ used to build Node.js itself.

All current and LTS target versions of Node.js are supported. Depending on what version of Node.js is actually installed on your system
`@hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae` downloads the necessary development files or headers for the target version. List of stable Node.js versions can be found on [Node.js website](https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases).

## Features

 * The same build commands work on any of the supported platforms
 * Supports the targeting of different versions of Node.js

## Installation

> [!Important]
> Python >= v3.12 requires `@hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae` >= v10

You can install `@hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae` using `npm`:

``` bash
npm install -g @hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae
```

Depending on your operating system, you will need to install:

### On Unix

   * [A supported version of Python](https://devguide.python.org/versions/)
   * `make`
   * A proper C/C++ compiler toolchain, like [GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org)

### On macOS

   * [A supported version of Python](https://devguide.python.org/versions/)
   * `Xcode Command Line Tools` which will install `clang`, `clang++`, and `make`.
     * Install the `Xcode Command Line Tools` standalone by running `xcode-select --install`. -- OR --
     * Alternatively, if you already have the [full Xcode installed](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/download/), you can install the Command Line Tools under the menu `Xcode -> Open Developer Tool -> More Developer Tools...`.


### On Windows

Install tools with [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org):
``` bash
choco install python visualstudio2022-workload-vctools -y
```

Or install and configure Python and Visual Studio tools manually:

  * Install the current [version of Python](https://devguide.python.org/versions/) from the
  [Microsoft Store](https://apps.microsoft.com/store/search?publisher=Python+Software+Foundation).

   * Install Visual C++ Build Environment: For Visual Studio 2019 or later, use the `Desktop development with C++` workload from [Visual Studio Community](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community).  For a version older than Visual Studio 2019, install [Visual Studio Build Tools](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=BuildTools) with the `Visual C++ build tools` option.

   If the above steps didn't work for you, please visit [Microsoft's Node.js Guidelines for Windows](https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejs-guidelines/blob/master/windows-environment.md#compiling-native-addon-modules) for additional tips.

   To target native ARM64 Node.js on Windows on ARM, add the components "Visual C++ compilers and libraries for ARM64" and "Visual C++ ATL for ARM64".

   To use the native ARM64 C++ compiler on Windows on ARM, ensure that you have Visual Studio 2022 [17.4 or later](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/arm64-visual-studio-is-officially-here/) installed.

It's advised to install following Powershell module: [VSSetup](https://github.com/microsoft/vssetup.powershell) using `Install-Module VSSetup -Scope CurrentUser`.
This will make Visual Studio detection logic to use more flexible and accessible method, avoiding Powershell's `ConstrainedLanguage` mode.

### Configuring Python Dependency

`@hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae` requires that you have installed a [supported version of Python](https://devguide.python.org/versions/).
If you have multiple versions of Python installed, you can identify which version
`@hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae` should use in one of the following ways:

1. by setting the `--python` command-line option, e.g.:

``` bash
@hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae <command> --python /path/to/executable/python
```

2. If `@hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae` is called by way of `npm`, *and* you have multiple versions of
Python installed, then you can set the `npm_config_python` environment variable
to the appropriate path:
``` bash
export npm_config_python=/path/to/executable/python
```
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Or on Windows:
```console
py --list-paths  # To see the installed Python versions
set npm_config_python=C:\path\to\python.exe  # CMD
$Env:npm_config_python="C:\path\to\python.exe"  # PowerShell
```

3. If the `PYTHON` environment variable is set to the path of a Python executable,
then that version will be used if it is a supported version.

4. If the `NODE_GYP_FORCE_PYTHON` environment variable is set to the path of a
Python executable, it will be used instead of any of the other configured or
built-in Python search paths. If it's not a compatible version, no further
searching will be done.

### Build for Third Party Node.js Runtimes

When building modules for third-party Node.js runtimes like Electron, which have
different build configurations from the official Node.js distribution, you
should use `--dist-url` or `--nodedir` flags to specify the headers of the
runtime to build for.

Also when `--dist-url` or `--nodedir` flags are passed, @hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae will use the
`config.gypi` shipped in the headers distribution to generate build
configurations, which is different from the default mode that would use the
`process.config` object of the running Node.js instance.

Some old versions of Electron shipped malformed `config.gypi` in their headers
distributions, and you might need to pass `--force-process-config` to @hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae
to work around configuration errors.

## How to Use

To compile your native addon first go to its root directory:

``` bash
cd my_node_addon
```

The next step is to generate the appropriate project build files for the current
platform. Use `configure` for that:

``` bash
@hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae configure
```

Auto-detection fails for Visual C++ Build Tools 2015, so `--msvs_version=2015`
needs to be added (not needed when run by npm as configured above):
``` bash
@hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae configure --msvs_version=2015
```

__Note__: The `configure` step looks for a `binding.gyp` file in the current
directory to process. See below for instructions on creating a `binding.gyp` file.

Now you will have either a `Makefile` (on Unix platforms) or a `vcxproj` file
(on Windows) in the `build/` directory. Next, invoke the `build` command:

``` bash
@hutechtechnical/ab-minima-impedit-repudiandae build
```

Now you have your compiled `.node` bindings file! The compiled bindings end up
in `build/Debug/` or `build/Release/`, depending on the build mode. At this point,
you can require the `.node` file with Node.js and run your tests!

__Note:__ To create a _Debug_ build of the bindings file, pass the `--debug` (or
`-d`) switch when running either the `configure`, `build` or `rebuild` commands.

## The `binding.gyp` file

A `binding.gyp` file describes the configuration to build your module, in a
JSON-like format. This file gets placed in the root of your package, alongside
`package.json`.

A barebones `gyp` file appropriate for building a Node.js addon could look like:

```python
{
  "targets": [
    {
      "target_name": "binding",
      "sources": [ "src/binding.cc" ]
    }
  ]
}
```
