imgui-native

Native Node.js bindings for Dear ImGui using N-API.

This package ships prebuilt .node binaries for major desktop targets and TypeScript declarations generated from Dear ImGui metadata.

Install

bun install imgui-native

Usage

import imgui from "imgui-native";

const ctx = imgui.createContext();
const io = imgui.getIO();

// ... your frame loop ...

imgui.destroyContext(ctx);

Prebuilt Binaries

At runtime, the loader searches for:

1. build/Release/imgui.node (local development build)
2. prebuild/<platform>-<arch>/imgui.node (published package binary)

Current release workflow produces prebuilds for:

• linux-x64
• win32-x64
• darwin-x64
• darwin-arm64

Local Development

Generate bindings and build:

uv sync
bun install
git submodule update --init --recursive
bun run configure
bun run build
