napi-build-utils is a pure JavaScript utility library designed specifically for developers creating tools that build Node-API native add-ons. It provides essential functions to programmatically determine the Node-API version supported by the current Node.js instance, read the declared supported N-API versions from a `package.json` file, and validate if a specific N-API version can be built in a given environment. Unlike the native add-ons it helps manage, this module itself is entirely written in JavaScript, ensuring broad compatibility without requiring compilation. The current stable version is 2.0.0, with releases typically occurring as new N-API versions emerge or specific Node.js runtime limitations need addressing. Its key differentiator is simplifying the often complex versioning and compatibility checks inherent in N-API development, preventing common build and runtime errors for native modules.
