About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

create_uint32

Convert an unsigned 32-bit integer to a Node-API value.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/napi-create-uint32

Usage

var headerDir = require( '@stdlib/napi-create-uint32' );

headerDir

Absolute file path for the directory containing header files for C APIs.

var dir = headerDir;
// returns <string>

Examples

var headerDir = require( '@stdlib/napi-create-uint32' );

console.log( headerDir );
// => <string>

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/napi/create_uint32.h"

stdlib_napi_create_uint32( env, value, *out )

Converts an unsigned 32-bit integer to a Node-API value.

#include "stdlib/napi/create_uint32.h"
#include <node_api.h>

static napi_value addon( napi_env env, napi_callback_info info ) {

    // ...

    napi_value value;
    napi_status status = stdlib_napi_create_uint32( env, 1, &value );
    assert( status == napi_ok );
    if ( err != NULL ) {
        assert( napi_throw( env, err ) == napi_ok );
        return NULL;
    }

    // ...
}

The function accepts the following arguments:

• env: [in] napi_env environment under which the function is invoked.
• value: [in] uint32_t unsigned 32-bit integer.
• out: [out] napi_value* destination for storing output value.

napi_status stdlib_napi_create_uint32( const napi_env env, const uint32_t value, napi_value *out );

The function returns a napi_status status code indicating success or failure (returns napi_ok if success).

STDLIB_NAPI_CREATE_UINT32( env, expression, name )

Macro for converting an unsigned 32-bit integer to a Node-API value.

#include "stdlib/napi/create_uint32.h"
#include "stdlib/napi/argv_uint32.h"
#include "stdlib/napi/argv.h"
#include <node_api.h>
#include <stdint.h>

static uint32_t fcn( const uint32_t v ) {
    return v;
}

// ...

static napi_value addon( napi_env env, napi_callback_info info ) {
    // Retrieve add-on callback arguments:
    STDLIB_NAPI_ARGV( env, info, argv, argc, 1 );

    // Convert the first argument to a C type:
    STDLIB_NAPI_ARGV_UINT32( env, value, argv, 0 );

    // ...

    // Convert a value having a C type to a Node-API value:
    STDLIB_NAPI_CREATE_UINT32( env, fcn( value ), out );

    return out;
}

The macro expects the following arguments:

• env: environment under which the callback is invoked.
• expression: expression returning an unsigned 32-bit integer.
• name: output variable name.
