## JavaScript-accessible methods
A _template_ is a blueprint for JavaScript functions and objects in a context. You can use a template to wrap C++ functions and data structures within JavaScript objects so that they can be manipulated from JavaScript. See the V8 Embedders Guide section on [Templates](https://developers.google.com/v8/embed#templates) for further information.
In order to expose functionality to JavaScript via a template, you must provide it to V8 in a form that it understands. Across the versions of V8 supported by NAN, JavaScript-accessible method signatures vary widely, NAN fully abstracts method declaration and provides you with an interface that is similar to the most recent V8 API but is backward-compatible with older versions that still use the now-deceased `v8::Argument` type.

`Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo` should be used in place of [`v8::FunctionCallbackInfo`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/io.js-3.0/dd/d0d/classv8_1_1_function_callback_info.html), even with older versions of Node where `v8::FunctionCallbackInfo` does not exist.

`c++

public:
ReturnValue

v8::Local
v8::Local
bool IsConstructCall();
int Length() const;
v8::Local
v8::Local
v8::Isolate *GetIsolate() const;
};
`
See the [`v8::FunctionCallbackInfo`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/io.js-3.0/dd/d0d/classv8_1_1_function_callback_info.html) documentation for usage details on these. See [`Nan::ReturnValue`](#api_nan_return_value) for further information on how to set a return value from methods.
`Nan::PropertyCallbackInfo` should be used in place of [`v8::PropertyCallbackInfo`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/io.js-3.0/d7/dc5/classv8_1_1_property_callback_info.html), even with older versions of Node where `v8::PropertyCallbackInfo` does not exist.
Definition:
`c++
template
public:
ReturnValue
v8::Isolate* GetIsolate() const;
v8::Local
v8::Local
v8::Local
};
`
See the [`v8::PropertyCallbackInfo`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/io.js-3.0/d7/dc5/classv8_1_1_property_callback_info.html) documentation for usage details on these. See [`Nan::ReturnValue`](#api_nan_return_value) for further information on how to set a return value from property accessor methods.
`Nan::ReturnValue` is used in place of [`v8::ReturnValue`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/io.js-3.0/da/da7/classv8_1_1_return_value.html) on both [`Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo`](#api_nan_function_callback_info) and [`Nan::PropertyCallbackInfo`](#api_nan_property_callback_info) as the return type of `GetReturnValue()`.
Example usage:
`c++
void EmptyArray(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo
info.GetReturnValue().Set(Nan::New
}
`
Definition:
`c++
template
public:
// Handle setters
template &handle);
template &handle);
// Fast primitive setters
void Set(bool value);
void Set(double i);
void Set(int32_t i);
void Set(uint32_t i);
// Fast JS primitive setters
void SetNull();
void SetUndefined();
void SetEmptyString();
// Convenience getter for isolate
v8::Isolate *GetIsolate() const;
};
`
See the documentation on [`v8::ReturnValue`](https://v8docs.nodesource.com/io.js-3.0/da/da7/classv8_1_1_return_value.html) for further information on this.
JavaScript-accessible methods should be declared with the following signature to form a `Nan::FunctionCallback`:
`c++
typedef void(*FunctionCallback)(const FunctionCallbackInfo
`
Example:
`c++
void MethodName(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo
}
`
You do not need to declare a new `HandleScope` within a method as one is implicitly created for you.
**Example usage**
`c++
// .h:
class Foo : public Nan::ObjectWrap {
static void Bar(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo
static void Baz(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo
}
// .cc:
void Foo::Bar(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo
}
void Foo::Baz(const Nan::FunctionCallbackInfo
}
`
A helper macro `NAN_METHOD(methodname)` exists, compatible with NAN v1 method declarations.
**Example usage with `NAN_METHOD(methodname)`**
`c++
// .h:
class Foo : public Nan::ObjectWrap {
static NAN_METHOD(Bar);
static NAN_METHOD(Baz);
}
// .cc:
NAN_METHOD(Foo::Bar) {
}
NAN_METHOD(Foo::Baz) {
