Nan::Callback

Nan::Callback makes it easier to use v8::Function handles as callbacks. A class that wraps a v8::Function handle, protecting it from garbage collection and making it particularly useful for storage and use across asynchronous execution.

  // non-empty JS stack), you can use Nan::Call instead.

callback.Call(0, 0);
