Add-on Arguments

C API for validating, extracting, and transforming (to native C types) function arguments provided to an ndarray Node-API add-on interface.

Usage

var headerDir = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/napi/addon-arguments' );

headerDir

Absolute file path for the directory containing header files for C APIs.

var dir = headerDir;
// returns <string>

Examples

var headerDir = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/napi/addon-arguments' );

console.log( headerDir );
// => <string>

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/ndarray/base/napi/addon_arguments.h"

stdlib_ndarray_napi_addon_arguments( env, argv, nargs, nin, *arrays[], *err )

Validates, extracts, and transforms (to native C types) function arguments provided to an ndarray Node-API add-on interface.

#include <node_api.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <assert.h>

// ...

/**
* Receives JavaScript callback invocation data.
*
* @param env    environment under which the function is invoked
* @param info   callback data
* @return       Node-API value
*/
napi_value addon( napi_env env, napi_callback_info info ) {
    napi_status status;

    // ...

    int64_t nargs = 6;
    int64_t nin = 2;

    // Get callback arguments:
    size_t argc = 6;
    napi_value argv[ 6 ];
    status = napi_get_cb_info( env, info, &argc, argv, nullptr, nullptr );
    assert( status == napi_ok );

    // ...

    // Process the provided arguments:
    struct ndarray *arrays[ 3 ];

    napi_value err;
    status = stdlib_ndarray_napi_addon_arguments( env, argv, nargs, nin, arrays, &err );
    assert( status == napi_ok );

    // ...

}

// ...

The function accepts the following arguments:

  • env: [in] napi_env environment under which the function is invoked.
  • argv: [in] napi_value* ndarray function arguments.
  • nargs: [in] int64_t total number of expected arguments.
  • nin: [in] int64_t number of input ndarray arguments.
  • arrays: [out] struct ndarrays** destination array for storing pointers to both input and output ndarrays.
  • err: [out] napi_value* pointer for storing a JavaScript error.
napi_status stdlib_ndarray_napi_addon_arguments( const napi_env env, const napi_value *argv, const int64_t nargs, const int64_t nin, struct ndarray *arrays[], napi_value *err );

The function returns a napi_status status code indicating success or failure (returns napi_ok if success).

Notes

  • The function assumes the following argument order:

    [ ib1, im1, ib2, im2, ..., ob1, om1, ob2, om2, ... ]
    

    where

    • ib# is a data buffer for an input ndarray.
    • im# is meta data for an input ndarray.
    • ob# is a data buffer for an output ndarray.
    • om# is meta data for an output ndarray.
  • The function may return one of the following JavaScript errors:

    • Error: unable to allocate memory when processing input ndarray.
    • Error: unable to allocate memory when processing output ndarray.
