node-px

I started working on this node module because I wanted to use node.js and node-webkit for a project that requires using Paradox DB. It is based on pxlib (see http://pxlib.sf.net) but I wanted to expose a more JavaScript friendly API.

Status

This is in the very early stage of development, API changes frequently and may eat you cat (if you have one).

Known limitations

• No support for index
• Only supports pxfAlpha, pxfShort, pxfLong, pxfLogical, pxfTimestamp and pxfDate at the moment.
• No async API.
• Only lightly tested on few different linux distros and very briefly in Windows (won't even compile out of box).
• Conversion between JavaScript Date and Paradox Date/Time/Timestamp is buggy (mainly due to the fact that pxlib don't support millisecond even though both Paradox and JavaScript do).

Build instructions

• Checkout the project from github
• Execute node-gyp configure and then node-gyp build from the project root directly will build and then execute unit-tests.
• Under Windows you'll need to install libiconv library and development files from GNU-Win32 project and tweak the binding.gyp files.
