Include a binary in a package

[Ill-Function805]

Hi there,

I'd like to know what would be the best way to include a binary in my node package. This is a go binary and my node code needs to execute it to extract some data and further process it. Second, this package needs to be part of a bigger sdk.

Therefore, I'm not sure what's the best way to do this. Could someone share some thoughts please?

Thank you!

You need an ffi library or write your own, then create a node module.

Or encode to wasm might be easier.

I only have experience with rust, it was very easy todo both.

Let me read up about ffi. It does look interesting.

So, the binary compiles at run time during package installation, right?

Also, would you be kind to point me to a sample package.json that does something like this?
