Summary:
Yoga's JavaScript bindings do not work past Node 10, or on recent versions of Ubuntu even using it. This is due to a reliance on `nbind`, a library which is no longer maintained. `nbind` itself abstracts over `embind` running Emscripten to generate an asm.js build, along with building Node native modules. In the meantime, [yoga-layout-prebuilt](https://www.npmjs.com/package/yoga-layout-prebuilt) has been used by the community instead of the official package.
https://github.com/facebook/yoga/pull/1177 was contributed as a conversion of bindings created using `nbind` to instead use `embind` directly.
I continued building on this to add more:
1. WebAssembly support (required to be async in browsers)
2. CMake + Ninja Build for the 4 flavors
3. TypeScript typings (partially generated)
4. yarn scripts to build (working on macOS, Ubuntu, Windows)
5. A README with some usage and contribution instructions
6. Updated tests to work with Jest, and updated general infra
7. ESLint and clang-format scripts
8. More GitHub actions (and now testing Windows)
9. Probably more I kinda got carried away here lol
The plan is to eventually publish this to NPM, but there is a little bit of work after this before that happens.
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/yoga/pull/1177
Test Plan: The bindings pass Jest tests (both manual and generated). GitHub actions added for the different yarn scripts. Did some manual checks on using the library as TS.
