13 Converts an object to a UTF-8-encoded character array. If conversion to a string fails (e.g. due to an exception in the toString() method of the object) then the length() method returns 0 and the * operator returns NULL. The underlying memory used for this object is managed by the object.
15 An implementation of [`v8::String::Utf8Value`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.11/d4/d1b/classv8_1_1_string_1_1_utf8_value.html) that is consistent across all supported versions of V8.
20 class Nan::Utf8String {
22 Nan::Utf8String(v8::Local<v8::Value> from);
27 const char* operator*() const;
31 <a name="api_nan_get_current_context"></a>
32 ### Nan::GetCurrentContext()
34 A call to [`v8::Isolate::GetCurrent()->GetCurrentContext()`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.11/d5/dda/classv8_1_1_isolate.html#a81c7a1ed7001ae2a65e89107f75fd053) that works across all supported versions of V8.
39 v8::Local<v8::Context> Nan::GetCurrentContext()
42 <a name="api_nan_set_isolate_data"></a>
43 ### Nan::SetIsolateData()
45 A helper to provide a consistent API to [`v8::Isolate#SetData()`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.11/d5/dda/classv8_1_1_isolate.html#a7acadfe7965997e9c386a05f098fbe36).
50 void Nan::SetIsolateData(v8::Isolate *isolate, T *data)
54 <a name="api_nan_get_isolate_data"></a>
55 ### Nan::GetIsolateData()
57 A helper to provide a consistent API to [`v8::Isolate#GetData()`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.11/d5/dda/classv8_1_1_isolate.html#aabd223436bc1100a787dadaa024c6257).
62 T *Nan::GetIsolateData(v8::Isolate *isolate)
65 <a name="api_nan_typedarray_contents"></a>
66 ### Nan::TypedArrayContents<T>
68 A helper class for accessing the contents of an ArrayBufferView (aka a typedarray) from C++. If the input array is not a valid typedarray, then the data pointer of TypedArrayContents will default to `NULL` and the length will be 0. If the data pointer is not compatible with the alignment requirements of type, an assertion error will fail.
70 Note that you must store a reference to the `array` object while you are accessing its contents.
76 class Nan::TypedArrayContents {
78 TypedArrayContents(v8::Local<Value> array);
80 size_t length() const;
83 const T* const operator*() const;
