Chrome extension: Nodehun in webpack about nodehun HOT 6 CLOSED

hey @vahaknp, hope things are well.

Is it possible for you to push your code to github or a similar platform?

Hi @Wulf! Doing well, hope you are as well! Thank you for such a quick response, and sorry I haven't gotten back to you until now.

Here's my very much WIP code: https://github.com/vahaknp/armenianinternetproject/tree/spellcheck_nodehun

Any advice you can give would be super helpful – I'm very much a webpack beginner 😅

Could it be that I need to use a specific loader, such as https://github.com/ushu/node-addon-loader, because Nodehun uses node-addon-api?

hey @vahaknp thanks for sharing your code :)

I recommend you bundle NSpell with your chrome extension instead; it's almost a drop-in replacement for this library and is implemented completely in JavaScript. You'll miss out on native performance, but it should hopefully be fast enough.

Otherwise, I think there are a few hurdles to cross when dealing with native binaries and chrome extensions. I'm not sure if it'll be possible to just use the loader you linked. If it does work, you'd have to then compile a binary for every platform/arch you want to support and load in the appropriate binary.

Thanks for the response @Wulf !

I figured that as well, so I have a parallel branch where I use NSpell – I've run into one issue already (which I've reported wooorm/nspell#27), but I think that one is probably much easier to solve than dealing with native binaries.

Another approach I was considering was calling C++ directly (through https://webassembly.org/ or whatever the current standard is).

Hey @vahaknp, hope things are well. I'm going to close this issue but feel free to reopen it :)
