quaint-javascript

Allows inline JavaScript code in Quaint markup.

Expressions in curly brackets will be evaluated in JavaScript.

Install

quaint --setup javascript

Usage

2 + 2 is {2 + 2}

API

var quaint = require("quaint");
var qjs = require("quaint-javascript");

var q = quaint(qjs);

q.toHTML("2 + 3 = {2 + 3}");
// ==> "2 + 3 = 5"

Functionality

In embedded JavaScript, you can use the h function to create HTML elements programmatically:

q.toHTML("{h('a.cls#id', {href: 'there'}, 'A', 'B')}")
// ==> '<a href="there" id="id" class="cls">AB</a>'

q.toHTML("{[1, 2, 3].map(function (x) { return h('b', x); })}")
// ==> "<b>1</b><b>4</b><b>9</b>"

Options

sandbox

An object to use as the global object for eval. All the properties you set on that object will be available as top level variables in scripts.

transform

A function to use to preprocess the code before evaluating it. This could be a compiler, for example.

vm

The module to use for the virtualization (defaults to the standard vm module, so you usally won't have to set it).

The module must implement these two methods:

• vm.createContext(sandbox): "contextify" the object, i.e. make it into a proper environment for the evaluator. If you implement your own, you return the sandbox itself, or a copy.

• vm.runInContext(code, sandbox): evaluate the code in the sandbox returned by createContext.
