JavaScript-accessible methods

A template is a blueprint for JavaScript functions and objects in a context. You can use a template to wrap C++ functions and data structures within JavaScript objects so that they can be manipulated from JavaScript. See the V8 Embedders Guide section on Templates for further information.

In order to expose functionality to JavaScript via a template, you must provide it to V8 in a form that it understands. Across the versions of V8 supported by NAN, JavaScript-accessible method signatures vary widely, NAN fully abstracts method declaration and provides you with an interface that is similar to the most recent V8 API but is backward-compatible with older versions that still use the now-deceased v8::Argument type.

Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo

Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo should be used in place of v8::FunctionCallbackInfo, even with older versions of Node where v8::FunctionCallbackInfo does not exist.

Definition:

template<typename T> class FunctionCallbackInfo {
 public:
  ReturnValue<T> GetReturnValue() const;
  v8::Local<v8::Function> Callee(); // NOTE: Not available in NodeJS >= 10.0.0
  v8::Local<v8::Value> Data();
  v8::Local<v8::Object> Holder();
  bool IsConstructCall();
  int Length() const;
  v8::Local<v8::Value> operator[](int i) const;
  v8::Local<v8::Object> This() const;
  v8::Isolate *GetIsolate() const;
};

See the v8::FunctionCallbackInfo documentation for usage details on these. See Nan::ReturnValue for further information on how to set a return value from methods.

Note: FunctionCallbackInfo::Callee is removed in Node.js after 10.0.0 because it is was deprecated in V8. Consider using info.Data() to pass any information you need.

Nan::PropertyCallbackInfo

Nan::PropertyCallbackInfo should be used in place of v8::PropertyCallbackInfo, even with older versions of Node where v8::PropertyCallbackInfo does not exist.

Definition:

template<typename T> class PropertyCallbackInfo : public PropertyCallbackInfoBase<T> {
 public:
  ReturnValue<T> GetReturnValue() const;
  v8::Isolate* GetIsolate() const;
  v8::Local<v8::Value> Data() const;
  v8::Local<v8::Object> This() const;
  v8::Local<v8::Object> Holder() const;
};

See the v8::PropertyCallbackInfo documentation for usage details on these. See Nan::ReturnValue for further information on how to set a return value from property accessor methods.

Nan::ReturnValue

Nan::ReturnValue is used in place of v8::ReturnValue on both Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo and Nan::PropertyCallbackInfo as the return type of GetReturnValue().

Example usage:

void EmptyArray(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info) {
  info.GetReturnValue().Set(Nan::New<v8::Array>());
}

Definition:

template<typename T> class ReturnValue {
 public:
  // Handle setters
  template <typename S> void Set(const v8::Local<S> &handle);
  template <typename S> void Set(const Nan::Global<S> &handle);

  // Fast primitive setters
  void Set(bool value);
  void Set(double i);
  void Set(int32_t i);
  void Set(uint32_t i);

  // Fast JS primitive setters
  void SetNull();
  void SetUndefined();
  void SetEmptyString();

  // Convenience getter for isolate
  v8::Isolate *GetIsolate() const;
};

See the documentation on v8::ReturnValue for further information on this.

Method declaration

JavaScript-accessible methods should be declared with the following signature to form a Nan::FunctionCallback:

typedef void(*FunctionCallback)(const FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>&);

Example:

void MethodName(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info) {
  ...
}

You do not need to declare a new HandleScope within a method as one is implicitly created for you.

Example usage

// .h:
class Foo : public Nan::ObjectWrap {
  ...

  static void Bar(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info);
  static void Baz(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info);
}


// .cc:
void Foo::Bar(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info) {
  ...
}

void Foo::Baz(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info) {
  ...
}

A helper macro NAN_METHOD(methodname) exists, compatible with NAN v1 method declarations.

Example usage with NAN_METHOD(methodname)

// .h:
class Foo : public Nan::ObjectWrap {
  ...

  static NAN_METHOD(Bar);
  static NAN_METHOD(Baz);
}


// .cc:
NAN_METHOD(Foo::Bar) {
  ...
}

NAN_METHOD(Foo::Baz) {
  ...
}

Use Nan::SetPrototypeMethod to attach a method to a JavaScript function prototype or Nan::SetMethod to attach a method directly on a JavaScript object.

Example:

void GetterName(v8::Local<v8::String> property,
                const Nan::PropertyCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info) {
  ...

                v8::Local<v8::Value> value,
                const Nan::PropertyCallbackInfo<void>& info) {
  ...

Example:

void PropertyGetterName(v8::Local<v8::String> property,
                        const Nan::PropertyCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info) {
  ...
