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

import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

# This is the JavaScript function we'll call:

# function getSettings() {
#     return {
#         theme: "dark",
#         notifications: true,
#         version: 1.0
#     };
# }

sbScript = chilkat2.StringBuilder()
sbScript.Append("function getSettings() {")
sbScript.Append("    return {")
sbScript.Append("        theme: \"dark\",")
sbScript.Append("        notifications: true,")
sbScript.Append("        version: 1.0")
sbScript.Append("    };")
sbScript.Append("}")

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 getSettings()

funcCall = chilkat2.JsonObject()

# Create JSON specifying the function name and arguments
# The function has no arguments, so we only specify the name.

# {
#   "name": "getSettings",
# }

funcCall.UpdateString("name","getSettings")

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": "object",
#   "value": {
#     "theme": "dark",
#     "notifications": true,
#     "version": 1
#   }
# }

# Examine the object's members
print("theme: " + result.StringOf("value.theme"))
print("notifications: " + str(result.BoolOf("value.notifications")))
print("version: " + str(result.IntOf("value.version")))

# Output:
# theme: dark
# notifications: True
# version: 1
