Node API for .NET: JavaScript + .NET Interop

This project enables advanced interoperability between .NET and JavaScript in the same process.

• Load .NET assemblies and call .NET APIs in-proc from a JavaScript application.
• Load JavaScript packages and call JS APIs in-proc from a .NET application.

Interop is high-performance and supports TypeScript type-definitions generation, async (tasks/promises), streams, and more. It uses Node API so it is compatible with any Node.js version (without recompiling) or other JavaScript runtime that supports Node API.

⚠️ Status: Public Preview - Most functionality works well, though there are some known limitations around the edges, and there may still be minor breaking API changes.

Documentation

Getting-started guidance, feature details, and API reference documentation are published at https://microsoft.github.io/node-api-dotnet

Minimal example - JS calling .NET

// JavaScript
const Console = require('node-api-dotnet').System.Console;
Console.WriteLine('Hello from .NET!'); // JS writes to the .NET console API

Minimal example - .NET calling JS

// C#
interface IConsole { void Log(string message); }

var nodejs = new NodejsPlatform(libnodePath).CreateEnvironment();
nodejs.Run(() =>
{
    var console = nodejs.Import<IConsole>("global", "console");
    console.Log("Hello from JS!"); // C# writes to the JS console API
});
