Hello, I'm the author of the library.
nice works, thanks for the library!
Indeed I only tested it on 64-bit systems. I can try to make it
32-bit compatible if needed.
for me i think it would be needed, i made everything 64bit so it
at least compiled and ran.
Aside from the auto-translated headers, in the case of Windows
the repo also includes node.lib compiled for 64-bit, so unless
the 32-bit version is added it will also give errors.
I'm pretty sure it does work with electron as I have used it
myself.
I managed to compile the module and it passed this test:
```javascript
const nativeModule = require('./module.node');
const assert = require('assert');
assert(nativeModule.ultimate() == 42);
```
The D code looks like this:
```d
import std.stdio : stderr;
import node_dlang;
extern(C):
void atStart(napi_env env)
{
import std.stdio;
writeln ("Hello from D!");
}
int ultimate()
{
return 42;
}
mixin exportToJs! (ultimate, MainFunction!atStart);
```
its builds sucessfully with ```dub``` no arguments (no
--arch=x86_mscoff yet because it requires to fix other
compilation error). The dub script looks like this:
```json
{
"authors": [
"test"
],
"copyright": "Copyright © 2021, test",
"dependencies": {
"node_dlang": "~>0.4.11"
},
"description": "using electron from D",
"license": "proprietary",
"name": "eled",
"targetType": "dynamicLibrary",
"targetName" : "module.node",
"targetPath": "bin"
}
```
then i test with node:
```
node test.js
```
it works fine. However, when I attempt to use it in the prescript
within electron, I get this error:
```
A JavaScript error occured in the browser process

the lines of this in the prescript goes like this:
```javascript
const nativeModule = require('./module.node');
const assert = require('assert');
assert(nativeModule.ultimate() == 42);
```
What am I missing?
