napi make callback

NAPI_EXTERN napi_status napi_make_callback(napi_env env,
                                           napi_async_context async_context,
                                           napi_value recv,
                                           napi_value func,
                                           size_t argc,
                                           const napi_value* argv,

• [in] env: The environment that the API is invoked under.
• [in] async_context: Context for the async operation that is invoking the callback. This should normally be a value previously obtained from [napi_async_init][]. In order to retain ABI compatibility with previous versions, passing NULL for async_context does not result in an error. However, this results in incorrect operation of async hooks. Potential issues include loss of async context when using the AsyncLocalStorage API.
• [in] recv: The this object passed to the called function.
• [in] func: napi_value representing the JavaScript function to be invoked.
• [in] argc: The count of elements in the argv array.
• [in] argv: Array of JavaScript values as napi_value representing the arguments to the function.
• [out] result: napi_value representing the JavaScript object returned.

Returns napi_ok if the API succeeded.

This method allows a JavaScript function object to be called from a native add-on. This API is similar to napi_call_function. However, it is used to call from native code back into JavaScript after returning from an async operation (when there is no other script on the stack). It is a fairly simple wrapper around node::MakeCallback.

Note it is not necessary to use napi_make_callback from within a napi_async_complete_callback; in that situation the callback’s async context has already been set up, so a direct call to napi_call_function is sufficient and appropriate. Use of the napi_make_callback function may be required when implementing custom async behavior that does not use napi_create_async_work.

Any process.nextTicks or Promises scheduled on the microtask queue by JavaScript during the callback are ran before returning back to C/C++.
