GLFW for Node.js

This is a part of Node3D project.

NPM CodeFactor

npm i glfw-raub

Synopsis

Node.js addon with GLFW3 bindings.

Note: this addon uses N-API, and therefore is ABI-compatible across different Node.js versions. Addon binaries are precompiled and there is no compilation step during the npm i command.

Example

  • GLFW version 3.3.4 backend.
  • Exposes low-level GLFW interface.
  • Multiple windows for a single Node.js process.
  • Able to switch to fullscreen and back.
  • Has Window class, simplifying low-level interactions.
  • Has Document class, capable of tricking other libs, as if we are in a browser.

GLFW

This is a low-level interface, where most of the stuff is directly reflecting GLFW API. It does NOT EXPOSE OpenGL commands. See GLFW Docs for useful info on what it does and doesn't.

const glfw = require('glfw-raub');

Here glfw is an API container, where all glfw* functions are accessible as glfw.*. E.g. glfwSetWindowTitle -> glfw.setWindowTitle.
