Research direction

Start by reviewing the C++ addon code that uses NAN and the Node.js return-value APIs mentioned in the issue. Determine whether continuous delivery is supported by the addon examples and what example or documentation change would clearly demonstrate the supported approach; completion requires an agreed behavior and a reproducible example.

Description

Hello everyone,

I have a c++ code that I'm using nan to be able to implement it in nodejs environment. The problem is, my code has an while loop and wants to send an array for each loop to the nodejs, but I can only send one array in the addon with args.GetReturnValue.Set() or info.GetReturnValue.Set(). Is there a way to continously send data rather than just returning one value at the end of the addon?

Appreciating any help.
