In most of tutorials, they use gyp as the building system for C++ node.js add-on development. However, compared to gyp, CMake has a long history and have much much more documentations.
Therefore, my question is that: which one is better for node.js C++ addon development?
Thank you.

It is good to install the node-gyp globally because main purpose of the node-gyp is to build the node native modules. node-gyp also need some tool like visual studio (in case of building on Windows) and python which also installed globally.
node-gyp requires that you have installed a compatible version of Python, one of: v3. 7, v3. 8, v3. 9, or v3.
I've just made available my new module today: CMake.js to support CMake based Node.js and io.js native addon development. It works exactly like node-gyp, please take a look at the readme and to the tutorial, then decide what's better for you.
