Example of node.js app calling native C++ code doing linear algebra with Eigen

You need a recent version of node.js supporting the N-API interface for native modules. You also need node-gyp and Eigen installed.

To install, build and run the code you should roughly do the following:

1. git clone https://github.com/danm0nster/node-napi-example-eigenvalue.git napi-example
2. cd napi-example
3. npm install
4. node test/test_binding.js

Installing required software

1. Node.js can be downloaded from the official site
2. Install the node.js native add-on build tool node-gyp with npm: $ npm install -g node-gyp
3. Install Eigen from source or by using package, e.g.
   • Mac OS (using brew): $ brew install eigen
   • Linux (Debian | Ubuntu): $ apt-get install libeigen3-dev
