# `@napi-rs/package-template`
![https://github.com/napi-rs/package-template/actions](https://github.com/napi-rs/package-template/workflows/CI/badge.svg)
> Template project for writing node package with napi-rs.
## Install this test package
```
yarn add @napi-rs/package-template
```
## Support matrix
> ⚠️ Linux musl has not been supported now.
### Operating Systems

## Ability
### Build
After `yarn build/npm run build` command, you can see `index.[darwin|win32|linux].node` file in project root. This is the native addon built from [lib.rs](./src/lib.rs).
### Test
With [ava](https://github.com/avajs/ava), run `yarn test/npm run test` to testing native addon. You can also switch to another testing framework if you want.
### CI
With github actions, every commits and pull request will be built and tested automatically in [`node@10`, `node@12`, `@node14`] x [`macOS`, `Linux`, `Windows`] matrix. You will never be afraid of the native addon broken in these platforms.
### Release
Release native package is very difficult in old days. Native packages may ask developers who use its to install `build toolchains` like `gcc/llvm` , `node-gyp` or something more.
With `Github actions`, we can easily prebuild `binary` for major platforms. And with `N-API`, we should never afraid of **ABI Compatible**.
The other problem is how to deliver prebuild `binary` to users. Download it in `postinstall` script is a common way which most packages do it right now. The problem of this solution is it introduced many other packages to download binary which has not been used by `runtime codes`. The other problem is some user may not easily download the binary from `github/CDN` if they are behind private network (But in most case, they have a private NPM mirror).
In this package we choose a better way to solve this problem. We release different `npm packages` for different platform. And add it to `optionalDependencies` before release the `Major` package to npm.
`NPM` will choose which native package should download from `registry` automatically. You can see [npm](./npm) dir for details. And you can also run `yarn add @napi-rs/package-template` to see how it works.
## Develop requirements
- Install latest `Rust`
- Install `NodeJS@8.9+` which supported `N-API`
- Install `yarn@1.x`
## Test in local
- yarn
- yarn build
- yarn test
And you will see:
```bash
$ ava --verbose
✔ sync function from native code
✔ sleep function from native code (201ms)
2 tests passed
✨ Done in 1.12s.
```
## Release package
Ensure you have set you **NPM_TOKEN** in `Github` project setting.
In `Settings -> Secrets`, add **NPM_TOKEN** into it.
When you want release package:
```
yarn version [xxx]
git push --follow-tags
```
Github actions will do the rest job for you.
