No, that's not what he's saying. Basically, instead of having the .node file be the "entry point" to your module, have a separate .js file that will act as the entry point, that also does other initialization like requiring your own native bindings. Then in your package.json file, the "main" field points to this .js file rather than the .node file.
See ref's main .js file for an example: https://github.com/TooTallNate/ref/blob/master/lib/ref.js On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 12:30 PM, sahal <ketam...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tuesday, June 19, 2012 3:04:00 PM UTC+3, Ben Noordhuis wrote: > >> On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 8:27 AM, sahal <> wrote: >> > I'm wrapping a module into an addon.
