What is a NODE File Type?
The NODE files are used by web and application developers to create addons for Node.js applications. This allows Node.js d'applications to link to libraries that offer functionality. A reusable addon usually consists of d' a package.json file, d' a binding.gyp file and C + source code, whereas non-@ reusable modules do not; t need the package.json file.
To create NODE files, they install d&apos, first, node-gyp ", utility provided with Node.js using the following command.
Npm install - g node-gyp.
The developers then create binding.gyp files that describe the build configuration of the Node.js module. They use the-gyp configure command to create the appropriate compilation files and use the-gyp build command to create the addon.node file.
Use the require () function to load an addon as a Node.js module.
