* ci: test the Node binding on the 22/24 LTS (18/20 are EOL) Node 18 is EOL and 20 reaches EOL; move the binding CI matrix from [18, 20] to [22, 24] (both LTS), bump the fixed Node setups in ci.yml/release.yml to 22, and raise package.json engines to >= 20. The N-API 8 binary is ABI-stable across Node versions, so no per-version build is needed. The `npm test` script (`node --test __tests__/`) breaks on Node 22 — it resolves `__tests__` as a module — so switch to `node --test` (auto- discovery). Verified locally on Node 22: build + 584 tests green. * build(node): sync package-lock engines.node to >= 20 * ci(node): drop the __tests__/ path arg so node --test auto-discovers On Node 22+, `node --test __tests__/` resolves the directory as a single module and fails with one unrunnable subtest. `node --test` (no path) auto-discovers every *.test.js under the package, matching the package.json test script. Verified locally: 584 tests pass.
Wickra — Node.js
Streaming-first technical indicators for Node.js. npm install wickra —
prebuilt native binary, no system dependencies.
Wickra is a multi-language technical-analysis library with a Rust core and bindings for Python, Node.js and WASM, plus a C ABI for C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R and any other C-capable language. Every indicator is an O(1) streaming state machine, so live trading bots and historical backtests share the exact same implementation. This package is the Node.js binding (napi-rs); it exposes all 514 streaming-first indicators across twenty-four families.
Install
npm install wickra
The native addon ships as a prebuilt binary per platform (Linux, macOS, Windows — x64 and arm64), selected automatically through optional dependencies. There is nothing to compile.
Quick start
const wickra = require('wickra');
// Batch: run an indicator over a whole array.
const prices = Array.from({ length: 1000 }, (_, i) => 100 + i * 0.1);
const values = new wickra.RSI(14).batch(prices); // null during warmup
// Streaming: the same indicator, fed tick by tick in O(1).
const rsi = new wickra.RSI(14);
for (const price of liveFeed) {
const value = rsi.update(price); // no recomputation over history
if (value !== null && value > 70) {
console.log('overbought');
}
}
batch(prices) and feeding the same prices through update() produce
identical values — the equivalence is enforced by the test suite.
Benchmark
benchmarks/throughput.js reports streaming and batch updates-per-second for
SMA, ATR and MACD. It measures this binding's FFI overhead, not a
cross-library ratio (the same Rust core runs under every binding) — see the
repository BENCHMARKS.md §3.
npx napi build --platform --release
node benchmarks/throughput.js

Wickra ships native bindings for Python, Node.js, WASM and Rust, plus a
C ABI hub that any C-capable language (C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R) links against —
all exposing the same indicators from the shared, unsafe-forbidden Rust core.
