Introduction

node-nim is a Node.js wrapper for the NetEase IM PC SDK, enabling you to utilize all of its features in your preferred frontend framework with native platform performance.
For comprehensive documentation, changelog, and technical support, please visit https://dev.yunxin.163.com/.

Runtime Requirements

Runtime	Version
Electron	>= v8.5.5
Node.js	>= v12.13.0

System Requirements

System	Requirements
Windows	>= Windows 7
macOS	>= 10.13.0
Linux	glibc >= 2.23

Supported Platforms

Platform	Architecture
Windows	x64
Windows	ia32
macOS	x64
macOS	arm64
Linux	x64
Linux	arm64

Installation

node-nim is an NPM package that can be installed using the npm install command.
It will automatically download the prebuilt binary file that fits your current platform.

npm install node-nim --save-dev

Maybe you need to build ia32 app on x64 platform or something like that, you can use --arch and --platform to specify the platform you want to build.

• Windows x64

npm install node-nim --save-dev --arch=x64 --platform=win32

• Windows x86

npm install node-nim --save-dev --arch=ia32 --platform=win32

• macOS x64

npm install node-nim --save-dev --arch=x64 --platform=darwin

• macOS arm64

npm install node-nim --save-dev --arch=arm64 --platform=darwin

• Linux x64

npm install node-nim --save-dev --arch=x64 --platform=linux

• Linux arm64

npm install node-nim --save-dev --arch=arm64 --platform=linux

Build From Source

Technically, native nim sdk is shipped with a prebuilt node-nim.node binary file, so there is no need to build it yourself..
But if you want to add personal features or simply prefer to do so, feel free to build it!
Build Requirements:

• Node.js
• npm
• CMake
• CMake supported generator(Unix Makefiles, Ninja, Visual Studio, Xcode...)

Now you are all set to build, run following commands in the root directory of the project:

cmake -Bbuild
cmake --build build --config Release

Now, you have your own node-nim binary file in the build directory.

Quick Start

First, you need to import the node-nim module:

// ES6 Module
import * as NIM from 'node-nim'
// CommonJS
const NIM = require('node-nim')

After importing the module, you can directly use the three types of objects we have instantiated for you, such as IM, chatroom, and qchat. Here is an example:

// IM related functions
NIM.nim.client.init('', '', '', {})
NIM.nim.client.cleanup('')

// Chatroom related functions
NIM.chatroom.init('', '')
NIM.chatroom.cleanup()

// QChat related functions
NIM.qchat.instance.init({ appkey: 'your appkey', app_data_path: 'qchat' })
NIM.qchat.instance.cleanup({})

The objects that can be directly accessed through NIM.nim are:

Object Name	Description
client	Client module
dataSync	Data sync module
friend	Friend module
global	Global module
msglog	Message log module
nos	Object storage module
onlineSession	Online session module
passThroughProxy	Pass-through proxy module
session	Local session module
subscribeEvent	Event subscription module
superTeam	Super team module
sysMsg	System message module
talk	Talk module
team	Team module
tool	Tool module
user	User module
plugin	Plugin module
talkEx	Message extension module, PIN messages, quick comments, collections

The object that can be directly accessed through NIM.chatroom corresponds to ChatRoomModule, and you can directly access the member functions under this object.

The objects that can be directly accessed through NIM.qchat are:

Object Name	Description
instance	QChat instance module
server	QChat server module
channel	QChat channel module
channelCategory	QChat channel category module
message	QChat message module
systemNotification	QChat system notification module
attachment	QChat attachment module
role	QChat role module
