Node.js ABI

Get the Node ABI (application binary interface) for a given target and runtime, and vice versa.

Installation

npm install node-abi

Usage

const nodeAbi = require('node-abi')

nodeAbi.getAbi('7.2.0', 'node')
// '51'
nodeAbi.getAbi('1.4.10', 'electron')
// '50'
nodeAbi.getTarget('51', 'node')
// '7.2.0'
nodeAbi.getTarget('50', 'electron')
// '1.4.15'

nodeAbi.allTargets
// [
//  { runtime: 'node', target: '0.10.48', abi: '11', lts: false },

prebuild

Prebuild is a package that simplifies the process of building native modules across different Node.js versions. It automates the process of prebuilding binaries for multiple versions, which is a similar domain to node-abi but focuses more on the building process rather than just determining ABI versions.

nvm

NVM (Node Version Manager) is a tool for managing multiple Node.js versions. While not a direct alternative to node-abi, it relates in the sense that managing different Node.js versions is crucial for developers working with native modules and needing to ensure compatibility across versions.
