Research direction

Review the existing Node.js C++ addon examples and the issue's request for wrapping pre-created classes. Determine whether a standalone example can demonstrate this use case without changing the existing library classes; done means the repository contains a working example that explains the approach.

Description

Hey!
This is more like something I am stuck at.

I have a library with header files, and I want to make bindings for that library. Yet, I can not change the already existing classes. So, I am looking for a way to wrap these existing classes into a nodejs module.

Currently, I am waiting for some peeps to respond. But it would still be awesome if that would be added here, as it is quite a usual case.

Kind regards, Ingwie! ^^
