HandleScope

The HandleScope class is used to manage the lifetime of object handles which are created through the use of node-addon-api. These handles keep an object alive in the heap in order to ensure that the objects are not collected while native code is using them. A handle may be created when any new node-addon-api Value or one of its subclasses is created or returned. For more details refer to the section titled Object lifetime management.

Methods

Constructor

Creates a new handle scope on the stack.

Napi::HandleScope::HandleScope(Napi::Env env);

• [in] env: The environment in which to construct the Napi::HandleScope object.

Returns a new Napi::HandleScope

Constructor

Creates a new handle scope on the stack.

Napi::HandleScope::HandleScope(Napi::Env env, Napi::HandleScope scope);

• [in] env: Napi::Env in which the scope passed in was created.
• [in] scope: pre-existing Napi::HandleScope.

Returns a new Napi::HandleScope instance which wraps the napi_handle_scope handle passed in. This can be used to mix usage of the C N-API and node-addon-api.

operator HandleScope::napi_handle_scope

operator Napi::HandleScope::napi_handle_scope() const

Returns the N-API napi_handle_scope wrapped by the Napi::EscapableHandleScope object. This can be used to mix usage of the C N-API and node-addon-api by allowing the class to be used be converted to a napi_handle_scope.

Destructor

Napi::HandleScope::~HandleScope();

Deletes the Napi::HandleScope instance and allows any objects/handles created in the scope to be collected by the garbage collector. There is no guarantee as to when the gargbage collector will do this.

Env

Napi::Env Napi::HandleScope::Env() const;

Returns the Napi::Env associated with the Napi::HandleScope.
