Nodejs integration with DLL

Question

I need to make Nodejs read a DLL to create a Rest API.

I have the file . dll, but I don’t have the source code, this . dll is in a Chinese C# program. What I want is to use this . dll by creating a Rest API with Nodejs, and do the front end in Reactjs.

Is it possible to do? Is there anyone who’s ever done?

I’ve read around, but the articles I found mentioned changes in the archives. dll for nodejs to be able to call, but as I mentioned, I don’t have the source code.

Thank you in advance. I am available to clarify further details if necessary.

There is a lib called Edge. In its documentation it guides how to perform a DLL function.

var hello = require('edge').func({
    assemblyFile: 'My.Edge.Samples.dll',
    typeName: 'Samples.FooBar.MyType',
    methodName: 'MyMethod' // Func<object,Task<object>>
}});

hello('Node.js', function (error, result) { ... });

Follow the library page: Edge
