VroomJs
This is a version of VroomJs that can on on the new .NET Core runtime.
Examples
Execute some Javascript:
using (var engine = new JsEngine())
{
using (var context = engine.CreateContext())
{
var x = (double)context.Execute("3.14159+2.71828");
Console.WriteLine(x); // prints 5.85987
}
}
Create and return a Javascript object, then call a method on it:
using (JsEngine js = new JsEngine(4, 32))
{
using (JsContext context = js.CreateContext())
{
// Create a global variable on the JS side.
context.Execute("var x = {'answer':42, 'tellme':function (x) { return x+' '+this.answer; }}");
// Get it and use "dynamic" to tell the compiler to use runtime binding.
dynamic x = context.GetVariable("x");
// Call the method and print the result. This will print:
// "What is the answer to ...? 42"
Console.WriteLine(x.tellme("What is the answer to ...?"));
}
}
Access properties and call methods on CLR objects from Javascript:
class Test
{
public int Value { get; set; }
public void PrintValue(string msg)
{
Console.WriteLine(msg+" "+Value);
}
}
using (JsEngine js = new JsEngine(4, 32))
{
using (JsContext context = js.CreateContext())
{
context.SetVariable("m", new Test());
// Sets the property from Javascript.
context.Execute("m.Value = 42");
// Call a method on the CLR object from Javascript. This prints:
// "And the answer is (again!): 42"
context.Execute("m.PrintValue('And the answer is (again!):')");
}
}
Platforms
Windows
There are embedded .dlls (x64/x86) in the project that can be loaded dynamically.
VroomJs.AssemblyLoader.EnsureLoaded(); // windows only
Call this method on start of your application.
Mac/Linux
The native libraries used in this project must be manually built for Mac/Linux. We are using a forked version of VroomJs used by ReactJS.NET. The instructions to generate a native assembly are the same (found here).
