Node.js bindings glfwJS added
Posted onArtem Kunets has written the Node.js bindings glfwJS that cover GLFW 3.3. They are based on the new N-API.
GLFW is an Open Source, multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES and Vulkan development on the desktop. It provides a simple API for creating windows, contexts and surfaces, receiving input and events.
GLFW is written in C and supports Windows, macOS, the X Window System and the Wayland protocol.
GLFW is licensed under the zlib/libpng license.
Gives you a window and OpenGL context with just two function calls
Support for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan and related options, flags and extensions
Support for multiple windows, multiple monitors, high-DPI and gamma ramps
Support for keyboard, mouse, gamepad, time and window event input, via polling or callbacks
Comes with a tutorial, guides and reference documentation, examples and test programs
Open Source with an OSI-certified license allowing commercial use
Access to native objects and compile-time options for platform specific features
