hello

I wanted to try out neon (rust bindings for node.js), so I started reading the neon guide and spun this up as my playground.

There's probably not too much interesting here, but if you look in native/src/lib.rs you'll see the examples I've been trying out.

npm install -g neon

git clone https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/hello.neon.js.git
pushd hello.neon.js/
neon build --release
node

var hello = require('.');
console.log(hello);

hello.any();

node example.js

How I made this

1. Install Node.js.
2. Install build tools

• macOS: XCode and xcode-select install (CLI Tools)
• Windows: npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
• Ubuntu: sudo apt install -y build-essential

3. Install Rust
4. Install neon; Create (and rename) project

npm install --global neon-cli
neon version
neon new hello.neon
mv hello.neon hello.neon.js
pushd hello.neon.js
neon build

Then I just followed along in the docs and the examples
