N-API Support

[Flackus]

Grretings.

First of all, thanks for all the effort creating and maintaining this module, it's very efficient and convenient to use.

I would like to know if there are any plans for supporting N-API https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v8.x/api/n-api.html?

Possibly related issue with a lot of info in it – TryGhost/node-sqlite3#830

Anyone care to provide an outline of what would be required to implement support for N-API?

Any plans on this? It gonna save tons of time doing re-compilation especially for electron apps.

@JoshuaWise would you be open to a PR that ported the V8 interface to N-API? I've been noodling on the continuous maintenance needed for Electron (#638, #693, etc.) and I believe using N-API might alleviate the need to update the build scripts every release.

Bumping this. I'm interested in taking this on, although I believe it's worthwhile porting off lzz onto vanilla C++ as part of this change. lzz is a learning barrier to contributors and is no longer available for download.

Any update on this?
