Readme
The series of @nodert-win11
packages is unofficially-published NodeRT modules for Windows 11 SDK, version 21H2 (10.0.22000.0) corresponding to Windows 11v21H2 (Original Release).
These are generated by the modified version of NodeRT thus are experimental, as the original doesn't have support for 21H2 SDK, nor for building with VS2022. Supporting for VS2022 is based on Taosenai's workaround with lxbndr's suggestion. The modified source code can be found here.
Below is the original description about this module.
A Node.js wrapper for the Windows.Networking.Vpn WinRT namespace, compatible with Windows 10 APIs.
Using this module, you'll be able to consume the Windows.Networking.Vpn API directly from Node.js.
This module was automatically generated by NodeRT. For more information on NodeRT and examples on how to use NodeRT modules, please visit the project page at: https://github.com/NodeRT/NodeRT.
The API exposed by this module is (almost) the same as the API that is listed in: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/Windows.Networking.Vpn.aspx
The only difference in the API is in the way that asynchronous methods and events are used. (See https://github.com/NodeRT/NodeRT#ConsumingNodeRT for more details)
This module also contains TypeScript definition files for the API exposed by the module, as well as JavaScript intellisense support for Node.js tools for Visual Studio.
