I'm creating this issue to continue the discussion from #15 (comment)
Attempting to work with JS TypedArrays from C# may result in an error from Electron's flavor of Node:
External buffers are not allowed: Error in CreateExternalArrayBuffer at D:\a\1\s\src\NodeApi\JSValue.cs:264
More information about the limitation is at electron/electron#35801. This appears to be quite a controversial issue, but the Electron team seems to believe the limitation is necessary for security.
As a workaround, node-api-dotnet probably will need to handle the new napi_no_external_buffers_allowed status code and fall back to copying the memory instead of using external buffers. That's very unfortunate since it can have a major performance impact in some scenarios, and doesn't have the same semantics as shared memory.
