Short overview
Currently nut.js uses octalmage/robotjs, a nan module. For easier support of multiple node versions, our N-API port should be elaborated.
Use case
Easier support for multiple node modules without recompiling the native module.
Detailed description
N-API is an ABI stable C interface provided by Node.js for building native addons. It is independent from the underlying JavaScript runtime (e.g. V8 or ChakraCore) and is maintained as part of Node.js itself. It is intended to insulate native addons from changes in the underlying JavaScript engine and allow modules compiled for one version to run on later versions of Node.js without recompilation.
In @nut-tree/libnut, octalmage/robotjs has been ported to N-API, which allows to use it with any node version >= 10 without having to recompile the native module.
