I have a client who interfaces the IRIS Exchequer accountancy suite via the Windows Component Object Model(COM). I'm re-writing their existing Exchequer integration layer and would like to replace this with a non-blocking RESTful service in Express. I've done an npm search and some googles, but cannot seem to find any bindings which will directly interface COM.
Is there such a module out there and, if not, how would one set about implementing such a module?

COM is still in wide use today, although it's considered an older cousin to the . NET Framework. Many technologies you rely on, and use with PowerShell, are still based on COM.
So to pause for a specific time we use the setTimeout() function.
LTS version is an abbreviation of the Long Time Support version where the release of the software is maintained for a more extended period of time. The LTS version is commonly recommended for most users. In Node. js, new versions frequently come with more features, optimized performance, and bug fixes.
I know this is an old question, but I was searching for the answer even in 2020. Thankfully, it seems there are more options now. For example, this article talks about it. It's using this (very old) module: https://github.com/idobatter/node-win32ole
There's another newer one called winax: https://github.com/durs/node-activex
I also stumbled across https://www.npmjs.com/package/activex/ but it appears quite stale and says "Under development. Do not use!"
I haven't actually tried any of these yet, but winax looks the most promising.
