onoff is a Node.js library providing GPIO access and interrupt detection on Linux single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone. It offers synchronous, callback, and promise-based APIs for reading and writing GPIO pins and watching for edge-triggered interrupts.
Use cases
- blink an LED from a Node.js script on a Raspberry Pi
- read button presses with interrupt detection in Node.js
- debounce physical buttons connected to GPIO pins
- control hardware outputs on a BeagleBone Black with JavaScript
- build IoT prototypes using Node.js on Linux boards
- configure pullup and pulldown resistors for GPIO inputs
When to choose
- you need GPIO control from Node.js on a Linux SBC like Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone
- you want interrupt-driven input handling with edge detection
- you prefer a simple, well-documented npm package with sync, callback, and promise APIs
When to avoid
- you are on a non-Linux platform such as Windows or macOS
- you need high-performance or real-time GPIO timing
- you are working with newer Node.js versions beyond those the library supports
- you need support for other interfaces like I2C, SPI, or PWM
