See more JavaScript Examples

Demonstrates how to call a JavaScript function that returns a boolean. Chilkat2-Python

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

# This is the JavaScript function we'll call:

# function isEven(number) {
#     return number % 2 === 0;
# }

sbScript = chilkat2.StringBuilder()
sbScript.Append("function isEven(number) { return number % 2 === 0; }")

js = chilkat2.Js()

result = chilkat2.JsonObject()
result.EmitCompact = False

# Call Eval to add the function to the context's global object
success = js.Eval(sbScript,result)
if (success == False):
    # Examine the result for an exception.
    print(result.Emit())

    # Also examine the LastErrorText.
    print(js.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Call the function isEven(8)

funcCall = chilkat2.JsonObject()

# Create JSON specifying the function name and arguments

# {
#   "name": "isEven",
#   "args": [ 8 ]
# }

funcCall.UpdateString("name","isEven")
funcCall.UpdateInt("args[0]",8)

success = js.CallFunction(funcCall,result)
if (success == False):
    # Examine the result for an exception.
    print(result.Emit())

    # Also examine the LastErrorText.
    print(js.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

print(result.Emit())

# Output:
# {
#   "type": "bool",
#   "value": true
# }

retval = result.BoolOf("value")
print(str(retval))

# Output:
# True
