JavaScript (Node.js) bindings to PGF runtime

Using in your project

1. You must have installed the PGF C runtime (see ../c/README.md)
2. You may need to set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
3. Add to your project the usual way with:

npm install path/to/this/folder

4. Or install globally with:

npm install --global .

Building the package (development)

Pre-requisites

npm install

Compiling

npm run build

Running tests

npm run test

Compatability

Unfortunately, these bindings currently only work properly with Node.js < 14. Newer versions of Node.js case the bindings to crash randomly, and/or run very slowly. This issue is discussed here:
