Top 3 Rust node-api Projects

node-api

  1. napi-rs

    A framework for building compiled Node.js add-ons in Rust via Node-API

    Project mention: Show HN: I rewrote my Mac Electron app in Rust (app went from 1GB to 172MB) | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-28

    If anyone does decide to pursue this, you can use napi-rs [0] to write Rust modules and call it from JS. Lower overhead than IPC but you will crash your process if there's an issue in your Rust code.

  3. canvas

    High performance skia binding to Node.js. Zero system dependencies and pure npm packages without any postinstall scripts nor node-gyp. (by Brooooooklyn)

    Project mention: Skia Canvas: Browser-Less Implementation of the HTML Canvas Drawing API for Node | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-03

    If you're interested in node-compatible canvas implementations, there are several:

    * canvaskit-wasm, from the skia project. I don't think it's gpu-accelerated: https://github.com/google/skia/tree/main/modules/canvaskit/n...

    * @napi-rs/canvas. This is the fastest binding: https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/canvas?tab=readme-ov-file#pe...

    * node-canvas. Uses Cairo instead of Skia: https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas

  4. node-rs

    Node.js bindings ❤️ Rust crates
