enables platform independent java support
npm install node-java-connector
!npm bundle size
This package helps with running JAR-Files from JavaScript.
If no Java is installed on the system, a openJDK version will be installed temporarily.
An example can be found at https://github.com/NLueg/node-java-connector-example.
1. Install the package:
``sh`
npm install node-java-connector
2. Define a file like install.js where you deal with installing the JRE with the following content:
`js
const njb = require("node-java-connector");
njb
.install()
.then((dir) => {
// do something with the directory
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
});
`
3. Add the script to your package.json that the JRE gets installed everytime when your package gets installed:
`json`
{
...
"scripts": {
"install": "node install.js",
}
...
}
4. Use the executeJar method with the path to your JAR-file and optional arguments or executeClassWithCP` for non-executable JARs.
