Rustify Node.js in few lines!
lib.rs
use napi_derive::napi;
#[napi]
fn fibonacci(n: u32) -> u32 {
match n {
1 | 2 => 1,
_ => fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2),
}
}Compatible with both CommonJS and esm, with auto generated .d.ts file:
main.mjs
import { fibonacci } from './index.js'
// output: 5
console.log(fibonacci(5))main.cjs
const { fibonacci } = require('./index')
// output: 5
console.log(fibonacci(5))Features
