## hello

This is a synchronous standalone function that logs a string.

### Examples

```javascript
const { hello } = require('@mapbox/node-cpp-skel');
const check = hello();
console.log(check); // => "hello world"
```

Returns **[string][18]** 

## helloAsync

This is an asynchronous standalone function that logs a string.

### Parameters

*   `args` **[Object][19]** different ways to alter the string

    *   `args.louder` **[boolean][20]** adds exclamation points to the string
    *   `args.buffer` **[boolean][20]** returns value as a node buffer rather than a string
*   `callback` **[Function][21]** from whence the hello comes, returns a string

### Examples

```javascript
const { helloAsync } = require('@mapbox/node-cpp-skel');
helloAsync({ louder: true }, function(err, result) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(result); // => "...threads are busy async bees...hello
world!!!!"
});
```

Returns **[string][18]** 

## helloPromise

This is a function that returns a promise. It multiplies a string N times.

### Parameters

*   `options` **[Object][19]?** different ways to alter the string

    *   `options.phrase` **[string][18]** the string to multiply (optional, default `hello`)
    *   `options.multiply` **[Number][22]** duplicate the string this number of times (optional, default `1`)

### Examples

```javascript
const { helloPromise } = require('@mapbox/node-cpp-skel');
const result = await helloAsync({ phrase: 'Howdy', multiply: 3 });
console.log(result); // HowdyHowdyHowdy
```

Returns **[Promise][23]** 

## HelloObject

Synchronous class, called HelloObject

### Examples

```javascript
const { HelloObject } = require('@mapbox/node-cpp-skel');
const Obj = new HelloObject('greg');
```

### hello

Say hello

#### Examples

```javascript
const x = Obj.hello();
console.log(x); // => '...initialized an object...hello greg'
```

Returns **[String][18]** 

## HelloObjectAsync

Asynchronous class, called HelloObjectAsync

### Examples

```javascript
const { HelloObjectAsync } = require('@mapbox/node-cpp-skel');
const Obj = new module.HelloObjectAsync('greg');
```

### helloAsync

Say hello while doing expensive work in threads

#### Parameters

*   `args` **[Object][19]** different ways to alter the string

    *   `args.louder` **[boolean][20]** adds exclamation points to the string
    *   `args.buffer` **[buffer][24]** returns object as a node buffer rather then string
*   `callback` **[Function][21]** from whence the hello comes, returns a string

#### Examples

```javascript
const { HelloObjectAsync } = require('@mapbox/node-cpp-skel');
const Obj = new HelloObjectAsync('greg');
Obj.helloAsync({ louder: true }, function(err, result) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(result); // => '...threads are busy async bees...hello greg!!!'
});
```

Returns **[String][18]**
