Just realeased “Node Eval”, whiche allows arbitrary javascript to be evaluated using V8.
This is mostly useful for other servers to evaluate javascript, without needing a direct bridge. I’m using it in Ruby instead of Johnson (which seems to have problems with GC) which provides a nice degree of separation.
Use:
/eval?js=12*12 => {“success”:true,”result”:144}
/eval?js=12*a => {“success”:false,”exception”:”ReferenceError: a is not defined”}
Context is maintained
/eval?js=this.a=9 => {“success”:true,”result”:null}
/eval?js=12*a => {“success”:true,”result”:108}
It’s also possible to supply a source file on disk and a context name:
/eval?js=func()&file=/abs/path/to/file => {“success”:true,”result”: “func output ok”}
Note that to be able to call functions, you’ll need to expose them using the CommonJS “exports” declaration.
