# Function
The `Napi::Function` class provides a set of methods for creating a function object in
native code that can later be called from JavaScript. The created function is not
automatically visible from JavaScript. Instead it needs to be part of the add-on's
module exports or be returned by one of the module's exported functions.
In addition the `Napi::Function` class also provides methods that can be used to call
functions that were created in JavaScript and passed to the native add-on.
The `Napi::Function` class inherits its behavior from the `Napi::Object` class (for more info
see: [`Napi::Object`](object.md)).
## Example
```cpp
#include <napi.h>
using namespace Napi;
Value Fn(const CallbackInfo& info) {
Env env = info.Env();
// ...
return String::New(env, "Hello World");
}
Object Init(Env env, Object exports) {
exports.Set(String::New(env, "fn"), Function::New(env, Fn));
}
NODE_API_MODULE(NODE_GYP_MODULE_NAME, Init)
```
The above code can be used from JavaScript as follows:
```js
const addon = require('./addon');
addon.fn();
```
With the `Napi::Function` class it is possible to call a JavaScript function object
from a native add-on with two different methods: `Call` and `MakeCallback`.
The API of these two methods is very similar, but they are used in different
contexts. The `MakeCallback` method is used to call from native code back into
JavaScript after returning from an [asynchronous operation](async_operations.md)
and in general in situations which don't have an existing JavaScript function on
the stack. The `Call` method is used when there is already a JavaScript function
on the stack (for example when running a native method called from JavaScript).
## Methods
### Constructor
Creates a new empty instance of `Napi::Function`.
```cpp
Napi::Function::Function();
```
### Constructor
Creates a new instance of the `Napi::Function` object.
```cpp
Napi::Function::Function(napi_env env, napi_value value);
```
- `[in] env`: The `napi_env` environment in which to construct the `Napi::Function` object.
- `[in] value`: The `napi_value` which is a handle for a JavaScript function.
Returns a non-empty `Napi::Function` instance.
### New
Creates an instance of a `Napi::Function` object.
```cpp
template <typename Callable>
static Napi::Function Napi::Function::New(napi_env env, Callable cb, const char* utf8name = nullptr, void* data = nullptr);
```
- `[in] env`: The `napi_env` environment in which to construct the `Napi::Function` object.
- `[in] cb`: Object that implements `Callable`.
- `[in] utf8name`: Null-terminated string to be used as the name of the function.
- `[in] data`: User-provided data context. This will be passed back into the
function when invoked later.
Returns an instance of a `Napi::Function` object.
### New
```cpp
template <typename Callable>
static Napi::Function Napi::Function::New(napi_env env, Callable cb, const std::string& utf8name, void* data = nullptr);
```

- `[in] cb`: Object that implements `Callable`.

- `[in] data`: User-provided data context. This will be passed back into the
function when invoked later.

object.
