I just finished my new plugin QuickJs. You can try it out here https://github.com/joehinkle11/QuickJs
It’s now live on the public Solar2D directory. Add it like this.
{
plugins = {
["plugin.quickjs"] = {
publisherId = "io.joehinkle",
},
},
}
It lets you run JavaScript without leaving your Lua script. Here’s some examples.
Returning a value
local QuickJs = require "plugin_quickjs"
local returnedMessage = QuickJs.run {
js = [[
var message = "hello from js!"
return message
]],
lua = function()
return "hello from lua!"
end
}
print(returnedMessage) -- "hello from js!" on HTML5 builds and "hello from lua!" on all other builds
Using a callback
QuickJs.run {
js = [[
// wait one second
setTimeout(function(){
callback("hello from js!")
}, 1000)
]],
lua = function(callback)
-- wait one second
timer.performWithDelay(1000, function()
callback("hello from lua!")
end)
end,
callback = function(callbackMessage)
print(callbackMessage) -- "hello from js!" on HTML5 builds and "hello from lua!" on all other builds
end
}
Passing data
QuickJs.run {
data = {
hello = "hello"
},
js = [[
console.log(data.hello) // "hello"
]],
lua = function(data)
print(data.hello) -- "hello"
end
}
That’s just the basics. There’s more settings you can find in the readme on the GitHub! Hope you guys enjoy this! I made this for myself mostly because I’m going to be making more HTML5 games in Solar2D.
