Run this project like this:

# 1. Git clone it
git clone https://github.com/felixdrp/node-addon-example-buffer-zig.git

# 2. Download Node.js header files
npm install

# 3. Compile the Zig module and produce `dist/lib.node`
npm run build

# 4. Run example. It will call the `foo()` function from Zig module.
npm run exec
