Note: We can build and run Node.JS Client with SWIG 4.0.2 for Node.js v10.

Install SWIG:

• Checkout SWIG with the upper commit ID at https://github.com/swig/swig
• Run commands below in command line at SWIG folder:

    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install

Install GridDB Server and C Client. (Note: If you build them from source code, please use GCC 4.8.5.)

Install Node.js(v12).

If required, change INCLUDES_JS path in Makefile.

Set LIBRARY_PATH.

export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:<C client library file directory path>

1. Execute the command on project directory.

$ npm install nan
$ make

2. Set the NODE_PATH variable for griddb Node.js module files.

$ export NODE_PATH=<installed directory path>

3. Write require("griddb_node") in Node.js.

GridDB Server need to be started in advance.

1. Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:<C client library file directory path>

2. The command to run sample

    $ node sample/sample1.js <GridDB notification address> <GridDB notification port>
        <GridDB cluster name> <GridDB user> <GridDB password>
      -->[ 'name01', false, 1, <Buffer 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 4a> ]

    cmake --build . --config Release

• Set path for SWIG_RESOURCE in CmakeList.txt.

set(SWIG_RESOURCE /PATH/TO/SWIG/FOLDER)

Install Node.js(v12)

• Download and install package from https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.13.0/node-v12.13.0-x64.msi

Install GridDB Server on CentOS. (Note: If you build them from source code, please use GCC 4.8.5.)

Install GridDB C Client.

• Please refer to https://github.com/griddb/c_client to install GridDB C client.
• After installing GridDB C client, set path for C_LIB (path for gridstore_c.lib) in CmakeList.txt.

    set(C_LIB C:/Users/User/Downloads/griddb_c_lib)

Install Cmake-js

• Use command line:
