Eval JavaScript Returning String

See more JavaScript Examples

Demonstrates getting the completion value of a JavaScript that returns a string. C++

#include <CkStringBuilder.h>
#include <CkJs.h>
#include <CkJsonObject.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    // This example demonstrates getting the completion value of a script,
    // where the last evaluated expression is a string.

    // The Javascript run in this example is shown below.

    // Load the JavaScript from a file.
    CkStringBuilder sbScript;
    success = sbScript.LoadFile("js_eval_return_string.js","utf-8");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << sbScript.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    CkJs js;
    CkJsonObject result;

    // Run the JavaScript
    // Eval returns the completion value of the script. This is generally the value of the last evaluated expression.
    // In this case, the last evaluated expression is a string.
    success = js.Eval(sbScript,result);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << js.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    result.put_EmitCompact(false);
    std::cout << result.emit() << "\r\n";

    // Output:

    // {
    //   "type": "string",
    //   "value": "Ready for Chilkat.Js"
    // }
    }
