bindung

Helps you require your native Node.js addon.

bindung is a simpler and more modern alternative to bindings. It removes support for legacy paths, requires Node.js v4 or later, and basically uses a simple try…catch statement as explained in the Node.js documentation.

Installation

$ npm install bindung --save

Usage

Pass the target_name, as defined in your binding.gyp, to bindung.

const addon = require('bindung')('addon')

Differences to bindings

• Only tries Release and Debug build paths (as opposed to bindings)
• Looks for binding.gyp instead of package.json (therefore it works without package.json being present)
• Always appends .node (as opposed to bindings), which means that you should not append .node yourself
• Requires Node.js v4 or later
