node-rcedit is a thin Node.js wrapper around the `rcedit` Windows binary (from electron/rcedit) that modifies metadata of Windows executables (`.exe` files). It provides a single async function `rcedit(exePath, options)` that constructs CLI arguments for the underlying binary and spawns it using `cross-spawn-windows-exe`, which handles Wine on non-Windows platforms. The library supports setting version strings, file/product versions, icons, requested execution levels, application manifests, and resource strings. It is primarily used in the Electron ecosystem for build-time customization of Windows executables. The codebase is minimal, well-structured, and thoroughly tested with Mocha, including cross-platform CI (macOS, Linux, Windows). TypeScript declarations are provided for type safety. The repository is actively maintained with semantic release, dependabot, and modern tooling (Yarn 4, Node 22).
