Wrapper for the QuickJS Javascript Engine.

This library is a wrapper for the QuickJS Javascript Engine.

To get started, see the ReadMe below.

quickjs-hs

This package provides a Haskell wrapper for the QuickJS Javascript Engine. It has been inspired by the quickjs-rs and ocaml-quickjs libraries.

Features

The functionality is quite basic and is currently limited to:

• evaluating JS code
• calling a JS function in the global scope
• marshalling Aeson Values to and from JSValues.

Examples

Evaluate an expression:

import Quickjs

one_plus_two = quickjs $ do
  res <- eval "1+2"
  liftIO $ print res

Declare a function and call it on an argument:

call_f = quickjs $ do
  _ <- eval_ "f = (x) => x+1"
  res <- eval "f(2)"
  liftIO $ print res

Pass a Haskell value (which has a ToJSON instance) to the JS runtime:

aeson_marshall = quickjs $ do
  _ <- eval_ "f = (x) => x+1"
  res <- withJSValue (3::Int) $ \x -> call "f" [x]
  liftIO $ print res
