otto.go

/*
Package otto is a JavaScript parser and interpreter written natively in Go.

http://godoc.org/github.com/robertkrimen/otto

    import (
        "github.com/robertkrimen/otto"
    )

Run something in the VM

    vm := otto.New()
    vm.Run(`
        abc = 2 + 2;
    	console.log("The value of abc is " + abc); // 4
    `)

Get a value out of the VM

    value, err := vm.Get("abc")
    	value, _ := value.ToInteger()
    }

Set a number

    vm.Set("def", 11)
    vm.Run(`
    	console.log("The value of def is " + def);
    	// The value of def is 11
    `)

Set a string

    vm.Set("xyzzy", "Nothing happens.")
    vm.Run(`
    	console.log(xyzzy.length); // 16
    `)

Get the value of an expression

    value, _ = vm.Run("xyzzy.length")
    {
    	// value is an int64 with a value of 16
    	value, _ := value.ToInteger()
    }

An error happens

    value, err = vm.Run("abcdefghijlmnopqrstuvwxyz.length")
    if err != nil {
    	// err = ReferenceError: abcdefghijlmnopqrstuvwxyz is not defined
    	// If there is an error, then value.IsUndefined() is true
    	...
    }

Set a Go function

    vm.Set("sayHello", func(call otto.FunctionCall) otto.Value {
        fmt.Printf("Hello, %s.\n", call.Argument(0).String())
        return otto.Value{}
    })

Set a Go function that returns something useful

    vm.Set("twoPlus", func(call otto.FunctionCall) otto.Value {
        right, _ := call.Argument(0).ToInteger()
        result, _ := vm.ToValue(2 + right)
        return result
    })

Use the functions in JavaScript

    result, _ = vm.Run(`
        sayHello("Xyzzy");      // Hello, Xyzzy.
        sayHello();             // Hello, undefined

        result = twoPlus(2.0); // 4
    `)

Parser

A separate parser is available in the parser package if you're just interested in building an AST.

http://godoc.org/github.com/robertkrimen/otto/parser

Parse and return an AST

    filename := "" // A filename is optional
    src := `
        // Sample xyzzy example
        (function(){
            if (3.14159 > 0) {
                console.log("Hello, World.");
                return;
            }

            var xyzzy = NaN;
            console.log("Nothing happens.");
            return xyzzy;
        })();
    `

    // Parse some JavaScript, yielding a *ast.Program and/or an ErrorList
    program, err := parser.ParseFile(nil, filename, src, 0)

otto

You can run (Go) JavaScript from the commandline with: http://github.com/robertkrimen/otto/tree/master/otto

	$ go get -v github.com/robertkrimen/otto/otto

Run JavaScript by entering some source on stdin or by giving otto a filename:

	$ otto example.js

underscore

Optionally include the JavaScript utility-belt library, underscore, with this import:

	import (
		"github.com/robertkrimen/otto"
		_ "github.com/robertkrimen/otto/underscore"
	)

	// Now every otto runtime will come loaded with underscore

For more information: http://github.com/robertkrimen/otto/tree/master/underscore

Caveat Emptor

The following are some limitations with otto:

    * "use strict" will parse, but does nothing.
    * The regular expression engine (re2/regexp) is not fully compatible with the ECMA5 specification.

Regular Expression Incompatibility

Go translates JavaScript-style regular expressions into something that is "regexp" compatible via `parser.TransformRegExp`.
Unfortunately, RegExp requires backtracking for some patterns, and backtracking is not supported by the standard Go engine: https://code.google.com/p/re2/wiki/Syntax

Therefore, the following syntax is incompatible:

    (?=)  // Lookahead (positive), currently a parsing error
    (?!)  // Lookahead (backhead), currently a parsing error
    \1    // Backreference (\1, \2, \3, ...), currently a parsing error

A brief discussion of these limitations: "Regexp (?!re)" https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#%21topic/golang-nuts/7qgSDWPIh_E

More information about re2: https://code.google.com/p/re2/

In addition to the above, re2 (Go) has a different definition for \s: [\t\n\f\r ].
The JavaScript definition, on the other hand, also includes \v, Unicode "Separator, Space", etc.

Halting Problem

If you want to stop long running executions (like third-party code), you can use the interrupt channel to do this:

    package main

    import (
        "errors"
        "fmt"
        "os"
        "time"

        "github.com/robertkrimen/otto"
    )

    var halt = errors.New("Stahp")

    func main() {
        runUnsafe(`var abc = [];`)
        runUnsafe(`
        while (true) {
            // Loop forever
        }`)
    }

    func runUnsafe(unsafe string) {
        start := time.Now()
        defer func() {
            duration := time.Since(start)
            if caught := recover(); caught != nil {
                if caught == halt {
                    fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Some code took to long! Stopping after: %v\n", duration)
                    return
                }
                panic(caught) // Something else happened, repanic!
            }
            fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Ran code successfully: %v\n", duration)
        }()

        vm := otto.New()
        vm.Interrupt = make(chan func(), 1) // The buffer prevents blocking

        go func() {
            time.Sleep(2 * time.Second) // Stop after two seconds
            vm.Interrupt <- func() {
                panic(halt)
            }
        }()

        vm.Run(unsafe) // Here be dragons (risky code)
    }

Where is setTimeout/setInterval?

These timing functions are not actually part of the ECMA-262 specification. Typically, they belong to the `windows` object (in the browser).
It would not be difficult to provide something like these via Go, but you probably want to wrap otto in an event loop in that case.

For an example of how this could be done in Go with otto, see natto:
