## JavaScript-accessible methods

A _template_ is a blueprint for JavaScript functions and objects in a context. You can use a template to wrap C++ functions and data structures within JavaScript objects so that they can be manipulated from JavaScript. See the V8 Embedders Guide section on [Templates](https://github.com/v8/v8/wiki/Embedder%27s-Guide#templates) for further information.

In order to expose functionality to JavaScript via a template, you must provide it to V8 in a form that it understands. Across the versions of V8 supported by NAN, JavaScript-accessible method signatures vary widely, NAN fully abstracts method declaration and provides you with an interface that is similar to the most recent V8 API but is backward-compatible with older versions that still use the now-deceased `v8::Argument` type.

### Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo

`Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo` should be used in place of [`v8::FunctionCallbackInfo`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/dd/d0d/classv8_1_1_function_callback_info.html), even with older versions of Node where `v8::FunctionCallbackInfo` does not exist.

Definition:

```c++
template<typename T> class FunctionCallbackInfo {
 public:
  ReturnValue<T> GetReturnValue() const;
  v8::Local<v8::Function> Callee(); // NOTE: Not available in NodeJS >= 10.0.0
  v8::Local<v8::Value> Data();
  v8::Local<v8::Object> Holder();
  bool IsConstructCall();
  int Length() const;
  v8::Local<v8::Value> operator[](int i) const;
  v8::Local<v8::Object> This() const;
  v8::Isolate *GetIsolate() const;
};
```

See the [`v8::FunctionCallbackInfo`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/dd/d0d/classv8_1_1_function_callback_info.html) documentation for usage details on these. See [`Nan::ReturnValue`](#api_nan_return_value) for further information on how to set a return value from methods.

**Note:** `FunctionCallbackInfo::Callee` is removed in Node.js after `10.0.0` because it is was deprecated in V8. Consider using `info.Data()` to pass any information you need.

<a name="api_nan_property_callback_info"></a>
### Nan::PropertyCallbackInfo

`Nan::PropertyCallbackInfo` should be used in place of [`v8::PropertyCallbackInfo`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/d7/dc5/classv8_1_1_property_callback_info.html), even with older versions of Node where `v8::PropertyCallbackInfo` does not exist.

Definition:

```c++
template<typename T> class PropertyCallbackInfo : public PropertyCallbackInfoBase<T> {
 public:
  ReturnValue<T> GetReturnValue() const;
  v8::Isolate* GetIsolate() const;
  v8::Local<v8::Value> Data() const;
  v8::Local<v8::Object> This() const;
  v8::Local<v8::Object> Holder() const;
};
```

See the [`v8::PropertyCallbackInfo`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/d7/dc5/classv8_1_1_property_callback_info.html) documentation for usage details on these. See [`Nan::ReturnValue`](#api_nan_return_value) for further information on how to set a return value from property accessor methods.

<a name="api_nan_return_value"></a>
### Nan::ReturnValue

`Nan::ReturnValue` is used in place of [`v8::ReturnValue`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/da/da7/classv8_1_1_return_value.html) on both [`Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo`](#api_nan_function_callback_info) and [`Nan::PropertyCallbackInfo`](#api_nan_property_callback_info) as the return type of `GetReturnValue()`.

Example usage:

```c++
void EmptyArray(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info) {
  info.GetReturnValue().Set(Nan::New<v8::Array>());
}
```

Definition:

```c++
template<typename T> class ReturnValue {
 public:
  // Handle setters
  template <typename S> void Set(const v8::Local<S> &handle);
  template <typename S> void Set(const Nan::Global<S> &handle);

  // Fast primitive setters
  void Set(bool value);
  void Set(double i);
  void Set(int32_t i);
  void Set(uint32_t i);

  // Fast JS primitive setters
  void SetNull();
  void SetUndefined();
  void SetEmptyString();

  // Convenience getter for isolate
  v8::Isolate *GetIsolate() const;
};
```

See the documentation on [`v8::ReturnValue`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/da/da7/classv8_1_1_return_value.html) for further information on this.

<a name="api_nan_method"></a>
### Method declaration

JavaScript-accessible methods should be declared with the following signature to form a `Nan::FunctionCallback`:

```c++
typedef void(*FunctionCallback)(const FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>&);
```

Example:

```c++
void MethodName(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info) {
  ...
}
```

You do not need to declare a new `HandleScope` within a method as one is implicitly created for you.

**Example usage**

```c++
// .h:
class Foo : public Nan::ObjectWrap {
  ...

  static void Bar(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info);
  static void Baz(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info);
}


// .cc:
void Foo::Bar(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info) {
  ...
}

void Foo::Baz(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info) {
  ...
}
```

A helper macro `NAN_METHOD(methodname)` exists, compatible with NAN v1 method declarations.

**Example usage with `NAN_METHOD(methodname)`**

```c++
// .h:
class Foo : public Nan::ObjectWrap {
  ...

  static NAN_METHOD(Bar);
  static NAN_METHOD(Baz);
}


// .cc:
NAN_METHOD(Foo::Bar) {
  ...
}

NAN_METHOD(Foo::Baz) {
  ...
}
```

Use [`Nan::SetPrototypeMethod`](#api_nan_set_prototype_method) to attach a method to a JavaScript function prototype or [`Nan::SetMethod`](#api_nan_set_method) to attach a method directly on a JavaScript object.

                const Nan::PropertyCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& info) {
  ...
}
```

### Nan::SetTemplate()

Adds properties on an `Object`'s or `Function`'s template.

Signature:

```c++
void Nan::SetTemplate(v8::Local<v8::Template> templ,
                      const char *name,
                      v8::Local<v8::Data> value);
void Nan::SetTemplate(v8::Local<v8::Template> templ,
                      v8::Local<v8::String> name,
                      v8::Local<v8::Data> value,
                      v8::PropertyAttribute attributes)
```

Calls the `Template`'s [`Set()`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/db/df7/classv8_1_1_template.html#ae3fbaff137557aa6a0233bc7e52214ac).

<a name="api_nan_set_prototype_template"></a>
### Nan::SetPrototypeTemplate()

Adds properties on an `Object`'s or `Function`'s prototype template.

Signature:

```c++
void Nan::SetPrototypeTemplate(v8::Local<v8::FunctionTemplate> templ,
                               const char *name,
                               v8::Local<v8::Data> value);
void Nan::SetPrototypeTemplate(v8::Local<v8::FunctionTemplate> templ,
                               v8::Local<v8::String> name,
                               v8::Local<v8::Data> value,
                               v8::PropertyAttribute attributes)
```

Calls the `FunctionTemplate`'s _PrototypeTemplate's_ [`Set()`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/db/df7/classv8_1_1_template.html#a2db6a56597bf23c59659c0659e564ddf).

<a name="api_nan_set_instance_template"></a>
### Nan::SetInstanceTemplate()

Use to add instance properties on `FunctionTemplate`'s.

Signature:

```c++
void Nan::SetInstanceTemplate(v8::Local<v8::FunctionTemplate> templ,
                              const char *name,
                              v8::Local<v8::Data> value);
void Nan::SetInstanceTemplate(v8::Local<v8::FunctionTemplate> templ,
                              v8::Local<v8::String> name,
                              v8::Local<v8::Data> value,
                              v8::PropertyAttribute attributes)
```

Calls the `FunctionTemplate`'s _InstanceTemplate's_ [`Set()`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/db/df7/classv8_1_1_template.html#a2db6a56597bf23c59659c0659e564ddf).

<a name="api_nan_set_call_handler"></a>
### Nan::SetCallHandler()

Set the call-handler callback for a `v8::FunctionTemplate`.
This callback is called whenever the function created from this FunctionTemplate is called.

Signature:

```c++
void Nan::SetCallHandler(v8::Local<v8::FunctionTemplate> templ, Nan::FunctionCallback callback, v8::Local<v8::Value> data = v8::Local<v8::Value>())
```

Calls the `FunctionTemplate`'s [`SetCallHandler()`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/d8/d83/classv8_1_1_function_template.html#ab7574b298db3c27fbc2ed465c08ea2f8).

<a name="api_nan_set_call_as_function_handler"></a>
### Nan::SetCallAsFunctionHandler()

Sets the callback to be used when calling instances created from the `v8::ObjectTemplate` as a function.
If no callback is set, instances behave like normal JavaScript objects that cannot be called as a function.

Signature:

```c++
void Nan::SetCallAsFunctionHandler(v8::Local<v8::ObjectTemplate> templ, Nan::FunctionCallback callback, v8::Local<v8::Value> data = v8::Local<v8::Value>())
```

Calls the `ObjectTemplate`'s [`SetCallAsFunctionHandler()`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.16/db/d5f/classv8_1_1_object_template.html#a5e9612fc80bf6db8f2da199b9b0bd04e).
