I totally agree and I've been thinking about this myself. Thanks for opening the issue!

And thank you for awesome addon examples.

Found this.

I used the example of calculating π by using a Monte Carlo estimation with a single worker vs multiple workers here: https://github.com/rvagg/node-worker-farm#example-1-estimating--using-child-workers

That might be an easy-to-understand example that could be adapted to demonstrate how async activity can work.

Although, ideally it might be good to come up with something that involves I/O since that ought to be the main use-case for async work in Node addons.

There is 9, which is async_work...so this should be it :)

I am trying to implement this at the moment and am struggling

from node-addon-examples.

I just created an example. It's lightweight and it works.

Hi everyone, now there is an example about asynchronous operation here: https://github.com/nodejs/node-addon-examples/tree/master/async_pi_estimate

from node-addon-examples.

Since there is now an example, I'm going to close this, please let me know if that is not the right thing to do.
