準(zhǔn)備開始

首先我們用下面的目錄結(jié)構(gòu)來創(chuàng)建一個節(jié)點通知(node-notify)文件夾.

.
|-- build/                   # This is where our extension is built.
|-- demo/
|   `-- demo.js              # This is a demo Node.js script to test our extension.
|-- src/
|   `-- node_gtknotify.cpp   # This is the where we do the mapping from C++ to Javascript.
`-- wscript                  # This is our build configuration used by node-waf

這個看起來很漂亮的tree 用通用的 tree 生成.

現(xiàn)在讓我來創(chuàng)建測試腳本demo.js 和決定我們擴(kuò)展的API前期看起來應(yīng)該像:

// This loads our extension on the notify variable.// It will only load a constructor function, notify.notification().var notify = require("../build/default/gtknotify.node"); // path to our extension var notification = new notify.notification();notification.title = "Notification title";notification.icon = "emblem-default"; // see /usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16notification.send("Notification message");

編寫我們的Node.js擴(kuò)展
Init方法

為了創(chuàng)建一個Node.js擴(kuò)展，我們需要編寫一個繼承node::ObjectWrap的C++類。 ObjectWrap 實現(xiàn)了讓我們更容易與Javascript交互的公共方法

我們先來編寫類的基本框架：

#include <v8.h> // v8 is the Javascript engine used by QNode#include <node.h>// We will need the following libraries for our GTK+ notification#include <string>#include <gtkmm.h>#include <libnotifymm.h> using namespace v8; class Gtknotify : node::ObjectWrap { private: public:  Gtknotify() {}  ~Gtknotify() {}  static void Init(Handle<Object> target) {   // This is what Node will call when we load the extension through require(), see boilerplate code below.  }}; /* * WARNING: Boilerplate code ahead. * * See https://www.cloudkick.com/blog/2010/aug/23/writing-nodejs-native-extensions/ & http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dlsym *  * Thats it for actual interfacing with v8, finally we need to let Node.js know how to dynamically load our code. * Because a Node.js extension can be loaded at runtime from a shared object, we need a symbol that the dlsym function can find, * so we do the following:  */ v8::Persistent<FunctionTemplate> Gtknotify::persistent_function_template;extern "C" { // Cause of name mangling in C++, we use extern C here static void init(Handle<Object> target) {  Gtknotify::Init(target); } // @see http://github.com/ry/node/blob/v0.2.0/src/node.h#L101 NODE_MODULE(gtknotify, init);}

現(xiàn)在，我們必須把下面的代碼編寫到我們的Init()方法中：

聲明構(gòu)造函數(shù)，并將其綁定到我們的目標(biāo)變量。var n = require("notification");將綁定notification() 到 n:n.notification().

// Wrap our C++ New() method so that it's accessible from Javascript  // This will be called by the new operator in Javascript, for example: new notification();  v8::Local<FunctionTemplate> local_function_template = v8::FunctionTemplate::New(New);     // Make it persistent and assign it to persistent_function_template which is a static attribute of our class.  Gtknotify::persistent_function_template = v8::Persistent<FunctionTemplate>::New(local_function_template);     // Each JavaScript object keeps a reference to the C++ object for which it is a wrapper with an internal field.  Gtknotify::persistent_function_template->InstanceTemplate()->SetInternalFieldCount(1); // 1 since a constructor function only references 1 object  // Set a "class" name for objects created with our constructor  Gtknotify::persistent_function_template->SetClassName(v8::String::NewSymbol("Notification"));     // Set the "notification" property of our target variable and assign it to our constructor function  target->Set(String::NewSymbol("notification"), Gtknotify::persistent_function_template->GetFunction());

聲明屬性:n.title 和n.icon.

  // Set property accessors  // SetAccessor arguments: Javascript property name, C++ method that will act as the getter, C++ method that will act as the setter  Gtknotify::persistent_function_template->InstanceTemplate()->SetAccessor(String::New("title"), GetTitle, SetTitle);  Gtknotify::persistent_function_template->InstanceTemplate()->SetAccessor(String::New("icon"), GetIcon, SetIcon);  // For instance, n.title = "foo" will now call SetTitle("foo"), n.title will now call GetTitle()

聲明原型方法：n.send()

  // This is a Node macro to help bind C++ methods to Javascript methods (see https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/v0.2.0/src/node.h#L34)  // Arguments: our constructor function, Javascript method name, C++ method name  NODE_SET_PROTOTYPE_METHOD(Gtknotify::persistent_function_template, "send", Send);

現(xiàn)在我們的Init()方法看起來應(yīng)該是這樣的：

// Our constructorstatic v8::Persistent<FunctionTemplate> persistent_function_template; static void Init(Handle<Object> target) { v8::HandleScope scope; // used by v8 for garbage collection  // Our constructor v8::Local<FunctionTemplate> local_function_template = v8::FunctionTemplate::New(New); Gtknotify::persistent_function_template = v8::Persistent<FunctionTemplate>::New(local_function_template); Gtknotify::persistent_function_template->InstanceTemplate()->SetInternalFieldCount(1); // 1 since this is a constructor function Gtknotify::persistent_function_template->SetClassName(v8::String::NewSymbol("Notification"));  // Our getters and setters Gtknotify::persistent_function_template->InstanceTemplate()->SetAccessor(String::New("title"), GetTitle, SetTitle); Gtknotify::persistent_function_template->InstanceTemplate()->SetAccessor(String::New("icon"), GetIcon, SetIcon);  // Our methods NODE_SET_PROTOTYPE_METHOD(Gtknotify::persistent_function_template, "send", Send);  // Binding our constructor function to the target variable target->Set(String::NewSymbol("notification"), Gtknotify::persistent_function_template->GetFunction());}

剩下要做的就是編寫我們在Init方法中用的C++方法：New,GetTitle,SetTitle,GetIcon,SetIcon,Send

構(gòu)造器方法: New()

New() 方法創(chuàng)建了我們自定義類的新實例(一個 Gtknotify 對象)，并設(shè)置一些初始值，然后返回該對象的 JavaScript 處理。這是 JavaScript 使用 new 操作符調(diào)用構(gòu)造函數(shù)的期望行為。

 std::string title;std::string icon; // new notification()static Handle<Value> New(const Arguments& args) { HandleScope scope; Gtknotify* gtknotify_instance = new Gtknotify(); // Set some default values gtknotify_instance->title = "Node.js"; gtknotify_instance->icon = "terminal";  // Wrap our C++ object as a Javascript object gtknotify_instance->Wrap(args.This());  return args.This();}getters 和 setters: GetTitle(), SetTitle(), GetIcon(), SetIcon()

下面主要是一些樣板代碼，可以歸結(jié)為 C++ 和 JavaScript (v8) 之間的值轉(zhuǎn)換。

// this.titlestatic v8::Handle<Value> GetTitle(v8::Local<v8::String> property, const v8::AccessorInfo& info) { // Extract the C++ request object from the JavaScript wrapper. Gtknotify* gtknotify_instance = node::ObjectWrap::Unwrap<Gtknotify>(info.Holder()); return v8::String::New(gtknotify_instance->title.c_str());}// this.title=static void SetTitle(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const AccessorInfo& info) { Gtknotify* gtknotify_instance = node::ObjectWrap::Unwrap<Gtknotify>(info.Holder()); v8::String::Utf8Value v8str(value); gtknotify_instance->title = *v8str;}// this.iconstatic v8::Handle<Value> GetIcon(v8::Local<v8::String> property, const v8::AccessorInfo& info) { // Extract the C++ request object from the JavaScript wrapper. Gtknotify* gtknotify_instance = node::ObjectWrap::Unwrap<Gtknotify>(info.Holder()); return v8::String::New(gtknotify_instance->icon.c_str());}// this.icon=static void SetIcon(Local<String> property, Local<Value> value, const AccessorInfo& info) { Gtknotify* gtknotify_instance = node::ObjectWrap::Unwrap<Gtknotify>(info.Holder()); v8::String::Utf8Value v8str(value); gtknotify_instance->icon = *v8str;}

原型方法: Send()

首先我們抽取 C++ 對象的 this 引用，然后使用對象的屬性來構(gòu)建通知并顯示。

// this.send()static v8::Handle<Value> Send(const Arguments& args) { v8::HandleScope scope; // Extract C++ object reference from "this" Gtknotify* gtknotify_instance = node::ObjectWrap::Unwrap<Gtknotify>(args.This());  // Convert first argument to V8 String v8::String::Utf8Value v8str(args[0]);  // For more info on the Notify library: http://library.gnome.org/devel/libnotify/0.7/NotifyNotification.html Notify::init("Basic"); // Arguments: title, content, icon Notify::Notification n(gtknotify_instance->title.c_str(), *v8str, gtknotify_instance->icon.c_str()); // *v8str points to the C string it wraps // Display the notification n.show(); // Return value return v8::Boolean::New(true);}

編譯擴(kuò)展

node-waf 是一個構(gòu)建工具，用來編譯 Node 的擴(kuò)展，這是 waf 的基本封裝。構(gòu)建過程可通過名為 wscript 的文件進(jìn)行配置。

def set_options(opt): opt.tool_options("compiler_cxx") def configure(conf): conf.check_tool("compiler_cxx") conf.check_tool("node_addon") # This will tell the compiler to link our extension with the gtkmm and libnotifymm libraries. conf.check_cfg(package='gtkmm-2.4', args='--cflags --libs', uselib_store='LIBGTKMM') conf.check_cfg(package='libnotifymm-1.0', args='--cflags --libs', uselib_store='LIBNOTIFYMM') def build(bld): obj = bld.new_task_gen("cxx", "shlib", "node_addon") obj.cxxflags = ["-g", "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64", "-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE", "-Wall"] # This is the name of our extension. obj.target = "gtknotify" obj.source = "src/node_gtknotify.cpp" obj.uselib = ['LIBGTKMM', 'LIBNOTIFYMM']

現(xiàn)在我們已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好要開始構(gòu)建了，在頂級目錄下運行如下命令：

node-waf configure && node-waf build

如果一切正常，我們將得到編譯過的擴(kuò)展，位于：./build/default/gtknotify.node ，來試試：

$ node> var notif = require('./build/default/gtknotify.node');> n = new notif.notification();{ icon: 'terminal', title: 'Node.js' }> n.send("Hello World!");true

上述的代碼將在你的屏幕右上方顯示一個通知信息。

打成npm包

這是非常酷的, 但是怎樣與Node社區(qū)分享你的努力的成果呢? 這才是npm主要的用途: 使它更加容易擴(kuò)展和分發(fā).

打npm的擴(kuò)展包是非常簡單的. 你所要做的就是在你的頂級目錄中創(chuàng)建一個包含你的擴(kuò)展信息的文件package.json :

{ // 擴(kuò)展的名稱 (不要在名稱中包含node 或者 js, 這是隱式關(guān)鍵字). // 這是通過require() 導(dǎo)入擴(kuò)展的名稱.  "name" : "notify",  // Version should be http://semver.org/ compliant  "version" : "v0.1.0"  // 這些腳本將在調(diào)用npm安裝和npm卸載的時候運行.  , "scripts" : {   "preinstall" : "node-waf configure && node-waf build"   , "preuninstall" : "rm -rf build/*"  }  // 這是構(gòu)建我們擴(kuò)展的相對路徑.  , "main" : "build/default/gtknotify.node"  // 以下是可選字段:  , "description" : "Description of the extension...." , "homepage" : "https://github.com/olalonde/node-notify" , "author" : {   "name" : "Olivier Lalonde"   , "email" : "olalonde@gmail.com"   , "url" : "http://www.syskall.com/"  } , "repository" : {   "type" : "git"   , "url" : "https://github.com/olalonde/node-notify.git"  }}

關(guān)于package.json 格式的更多細(xì)節(jié), 可以通過 npm help json 獲取文檔. 注意大多數(shù)字段都是可選的.

你現(xiàn)在可以在你的頂級目錄中通過運行npm install 來安裝你的新的npm包了. 如果一切順利的話, 應(yīng)該可以簡單的加載你的擴(kuò)展 var notify = require('你的包名');. 另外一個比較有用的命令式 npm link 通過這個命令你可以創(chuàng)建一個到你開發(fā)目錄的鏈接,當(dāng)你的代碼發(fā)生變化時不必每次都去安裝/卸載.

假設(shè)你寫了一個很酷的擴(kuò)展, 你可能想要在中央npm庫發(fā)布到網(wǎng)上. 首先你要先創(chuàng)建一個賬戶:
