setimmediate-napi

setImmediate() for N-API code

Installation

Install with npm:

$ npm install setimmediate-napi

Usage

In your binding.gyp:

    'include_dirs': ["<!@(node -p \"require('node-addon-api').include\")",
                     "<!@(node -p \"require('setimmediate-napi').include\")"],

(Just have "<!@(node -p \"require('setimmediate-napi').include\")" somewhere in that list, ok?)

In your C++ code:

#include <setimmediate.h>

int a = 10;
SetImmediate(env, [a]() {
  /* do something with a ... */
});

Keep in mind:

• You need to use References to keep track of JS objects, since this code runs asynchronously.
• Use MakeCallback rather than Call to make sure Node.js can track your async context.
• This function can be invoked even when executing JS code itself is not allowed.
