Qode
Qode is a lightly modified fork of Node.js that allows Node's event loop to be merged with Qt's or any other Gui event loop.
It is designed to be used together with @nodegui/nodegui. Qode achieves this by allowing message loop injection via a NodeJS addon.
Qode allows you to run both Qt and Node's event loops in the same thread. This is crucial to achieving low CPU footprint.
Qode can be used as a drop in replacement of NodeJS and hence you could consider it as NodeJS with Qt powers
This npm module downloads the prebuilt qode for the current Operating System.
Build Instructions for qode can be found here: https://github.com/nodegui/qode
Installation
yarn add @nodegui/qode
or
npm install @nodegui/qode
Dowload mirrors
By default qode is downloaded using the github releases at
`https://github.com/nodegui/qodejs/releases/download/v${libVersion}-qode/${gitTagVersion}-${platform}-${arch}.tar.gz`if you need to specify an alternative download path you can set the environment variable QODE_MIRROR like so and run npm install
QODE_MIRROR=https://github.com/nodegui/qodejs/releases/download/v1.2-qode/1.2-linux-x64.tar.gz npm install @nodegui/qodejs
If it doesnt download make sure to clear the cached qode at https://github.com/nodegui/qodejs/blob/89ccb29fe3c9d66426311a95369c47820bca4de5/qode/npm/src/config.js#L29
