Vite

To integrate cpp.js into your project using Vite as a bundler, you can utilize the @cpp.js/plugin-vite plugin. Start by installing these package with the following command:

npm install @cpp.js/plugin-vite --save-dev

To enable the plugin, modify the vite.config.js file as shown below.

vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
+ import viteCppjsPlugin from '@cpp.js/plugin-vite'

// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
+ viteCppjsPlugin(),
]
});

Cpp.js requires a configuration file to work. For a minimal setup, create a cppjs.config.mjs file and add the following content.

cppjs.config.mjs
import getDirName from 'cpp.js/src/utils/getDirName.js';

export default {
paths: {
project: getDirName(import.meta.url),
},
};

Move your C++ code to the src/native directory. For example;

src/native/MySampleClass.h
#pragma once
#include <string>

class MySampleClass {
public:
static std::string sample() {
return "Hello World!";
}
};

Modify the JavaScript file to call the C++ function. For example:

import { initCppJs } from './native/native.h'

initCppJs().then(({ MySampleClass }) => {;
console.log(MySampleClass.sample());
});

The project is now fully set up and ready to run.

warning

Before proceeding, ensure that you have met all the prerequisites for setting up a working development environment.
