Quaint-javascript NPM

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.
