Example of compiling C++ to asm.js and Node.js addons

nbind-example-universal

This is an example of using nbind to distribute a native Node.js addon with an asm.js fallback, also usable from web browsers.

The optional native addon is installed if you have one of the following C++ compilers:

• GCC 4.8 or above
• Clang 3.6 or above
• Visual Studio 2015 (The Community version is fine)

Otherwise the asm.js fallback is used.

Usage

First install:

git clone https://github.com/charto/nbind-example-universal.git
cd nbind-example-universal
npm install

Then run the example in Node.js with npm test or in the browser by running npm start and navigating to http://localhost:8080/.

Note that you shouldn't add the compiled asm.js code in version control. In this example it's present in the dist directory simply to allow installing directly from Github without having Emscripten available.
