## Persistent references
|
|
|
|
An object reference that is independent of any `HandleScope` is a _persistent_ reference. Where a `Local` handle only lives as long as the `HandleScope` in which it was allocated, a `Persistent` handle remains valid until it is explicitly disposed.
|
|
|
|
Due to the evolution of the V8 API, it is necessary for NAN to provide a wrapper implementation of the `Persistent` classes to supply compatibility across the V8 versions supported.

### Nan::PersistentBase & v8::PersistentBase
|
|
|
|
A persistent handle contains a reference to a storage cell in V8 which holds an object value and which is updated by the garbage collector whenever the object is moved. A new storage cell can be created using the constructor or `Nan::PersistentBase::Reset()`. Existing handles can be disposed using an argument-less `Nan::PersistentBase::Reset()`.

|
|
**Tip:** To get a `v8::Local` reference to the original object back from a `PersistentBase` or `Persistent` object:
|
|
|
|
```c++
|
|
v8::Local<v8::Object> object = Nan::New(persistent);
|
|
```

### Nan::NonCopyablePersistentTraits & v8::NonCopyablePersistentTraits
|
|
|
|
Default traits for `Nan::Persistent`. This class does not allow use of the a copy constructor or assignment operator. At present `kResetInDestructor` is not set, but that will change in a future version.

### Nan::Persistent

/**

### Nan::Global
|
|
|
|
A type of `PersistentBase` which has move semantics.

```c++

template<typename T> class Global : public PersistentBase<T> {
|

*/
|
|
template<typename S> Global(v8::Local<S> that);
|
|
/**

### Nan::WeakCallbackInfo
|
|
|
|
`Nan::WeakCallbackInfo` is used as an argument when setting a persistent reference as weak. You may need to free any external resources attached to the object. It is a mirror of `v8:WeakCallbackInfo` as found in newer versions of V8.
|
|
|
|
Definition:
|
|
|
|
```c++
|
|
template<typename T> class WeakCallbackInfo {
|
|
public:
|
|
typedef void (*Callback)(const WeakCallbackInfo<T>& data);
|
|
|
|
v8::Isolate *GetIsolate() const;
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* Get the parameter that was associated with the weak handle.
|
|
*/
|
|
T *GetParameter() const;
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* Get pointer from internal field, index can be 0 or 1.
|
|
*/
|
|
void *GetInternalField(int index) const;
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example usage:
|
|
|
|
```c++
|
|
void weakCallback(const WeakCallbackInfo<int> &data) {
|
|
int *parameter = data.GetParameter();
|
|
delete parameter;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Persistent<v8::Object> obj;
|
|
int *data = new int(0);
|
|
obj.SetWeak(data, callback, WeakCallbackType::kParameter);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the V8 documentation for [`WeakCallbackInfo`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/node-8.11/d8/d06/classv8_1_1_weak_callback_info.html) for further information.

|
|
|
<a name="api_nan_weak_callback_type"></a>
|
|
### Nan::WeakCallbackType
|
|
|
|
Represents the type of a weak callback.
|
|
A weak callback of type `kParameter` makes the supplied parameter to `Nan::PersistentBase::SetWeak` available through `WeakCallbackInfo::GetParameter`.
|
|
A weak callback of type `kInternalFields` uses up to two internal fields at indices 0 and 1 on the `Nan::PersistentBase<v8::Object>` being made weak.
|
|
Note that only `v8::Object`s and derivatives can have internal fields.
|
|
|
|
Definition:
|
|
|
|
```c++
|
|
enum class WeakCallbackType { kParameter, kInternalFields };
|
|
```
