A new test to show how to implement a native object as a Proxy object instead of
napi_define_class
.The issue
V8 has
ObjectTemplate
that allows defining native objects as proxies.If native object has many methods, then
ObjectTemplate
does not require to implement JavaScript property for each method.The Node.js NAN uses
ObjectTemplate
to define native objects.Since Node API does not have such API, it creates issues when we convert code from NAN to Node API.
See: nodejs/node-addon-api#1114
Solution
We discussed this issue with the Node API team.
Since we want the Node API to work with all JavaScript engines, we want to see if we can achieve the same results without adding new APIs.
In this PR I have created a new Node API unit test that shows how to use JavaScript
Proxy
to simulate some behavior ofObjectTemplate
using existing Node API.TODO
Proxy
behavior
