Issue for 2018-2019 - (https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/issues/346)

[gabrielschulhof]

@vweevers has created a list of native addons that are (not yet) ported to N-API. The list exists for a different reason, but I believe it is relevant to us because it gives us targets for which to evangelize and/or PR the move to N-API.

[vweevers]

@gabrielschulhof I can extend the list if there's interest.

[NickNaso]

@vweevers Yes please because we can use in our evangelism activities. We already have a list of native add-on here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HopFSLMs5gj3G6_eBEZM2ET7oXKdokAF7VU2XZnzYGk

[gabrielschulhof]

@NickNaso I added sodium-native to the top of that list.

WIP: https://github.com/vweevers/about-native-modules#data

[vweevers]

In case y'all missed it: I also committed the data as JSON, to easily filter it. For example, to get the top 100 non-napi addons:

const addons = require('about-native-modules/data.json')
const top = addons.filter(addon => !addon.napi).slice(0, 100)

console.log(top.map(addon => addon.name))

Hi everyone, thanks for the effort you've made to get N-API stable and provide node-addon-api to ease working with it. You'll be pleased to learn that the latest version of sharp has now migrated to it from nan.

According to the data in the linked https://github.com/vweevers/about-native-modules repo, it looks like sharp is now the most-downloaded native module to be using N-API!

[gabrielschulhof]

I also noticed that simdjson was using node-addon-api.

[NickNaso]

I want report this new Rust binding to N-API: https://github.com/napi-rs/napi-rs

@jschlight mentioned that sqlite3 v5.0.0 is running on N-API: https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/releases/tag/v5.0.0

[NickNaso]

I contributed to port this module https://github.com/lovell/highwayhash the next release will be a N-API add-on.

v1.0.32 has been released and is using N-API modules from ws project.

[jschlight]

I've updated Matteo's native-hdr-histogram binding to N-API 3 using my automated binding tool. Now published at v1.0.0, the project is completely modernized using prebuildify and GitHub Actions for testing, prebuild, and publishing.
