# node-api-headers - **[Introduction](#introduction)** - **[Contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md)** - **[Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)** - **[Install](#install)** - **[API](#api)** - **[Creating a release](CREATING_A_RELEASE.md)** - **[Team](#team)** - **[License](#license)** ## Introduction **node-api-headers** contains the header files for the C-based Node-API provided by Node.js. Node-API is an API for building native addons that guarantees the ABI (Application Binary Interface) stability across versions of Node.js (see: [Node-API](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/api/n-api.html)). Node-API headers are in the `include` folder. The Node-APIs that provide ECMAScript features from native code can be found in `js_native_api_types.h` and `js_native_api.h`. The APIs defined in these headers are included in `node_api_types.h` and `node_api.h`. The headers are structured in this way in order to allow implementations of Node-API outside of Node.js considering that for those implementations the Node.js specific APIs may not be applicable. **node-api-headers** is also a package published on **npm** that could be used in a process to compile and build native addons for Node.js. ## Install ``` npm i node-api-headers ``` ## Versions Node-API C headers are backward-compatible. Its version (e.g. `8`) is released separately from the Node.js version stream (e.g. `19.8.1`) and changes are backported to active Node.js LTS lines (e.g. `16.x` and `18.x`). This package publishes semver-minor versions with new Node-API C headers changes. JS API breaking changes are published with new semver-major versions. ## API The module exports two properties `include_dir` and `symbols`. ### `include_dir` This property is a string that represents the include path for the Node-API headers. ### `def_paths` This property is an object that has two keys `js_native_api_def` and `node_api_def` which represents the path of the module definition file for the `js_native_api` and `node_api` respectively. ### `symbols` This property is an object that represents the symbols exported by Node-API grouped by version and api types. ```js V1: { js_native_api_symbols: [ // List of symbols in js_native_api.h for the version 1. ], node_api_symbols: [ // List of symbols in node_api.h for the version 1 ] }, // ... ``` ## Team members The project is maintained by the [Node-API team members](https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/?tab=readme-ov-file#project-participants). ## License Licensed under [MIT](./LICENSE.md)
