reval v0.1.1

reval

A JavaScript lib for building continuous execution style programming interfaces.

Example

Evaluate some javascript.

function src() {
	return 2 + 2 + 2;
}

console.info(reval(src.toString()).run()); // 6

Print all local variables.

function locals() {
  var x = 2
    , y = 3;

  return x * y;
}

var ctx = reval(locals.toString());

ctx.watch(function(name, val) {
  console.info(arguments);
});

ctx.run();

Output:

['x', 2]
['y', 3]

Infinite recursion protection.

function bad() {
  while(true) {
    // infinte loop
  }

  for(var i = 0; true; i++) {
    // infinite loop
  }
}

reval(bad.toString()).run();

console.info('...nope still here!');
