Eval JavaScript Returning String

See more JavaScript Examples

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

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

#  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.
$sbScript = chilkat::CkStringBuilder->new();
$success = $sbScript->LoadFile("js_eval_return_string.js","utf-8");
if ($success == 0) {
    print $sbScript->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$js = chilkat::CkJs->new();
$result = chilkat::CkJsonObject->new();

#  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 == 0) {
    print $js->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$result->put_EmitCompact(0);
print $result->emit() . "\r\n";

#  Output:

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

JavaScript

var status = "Ready";
var system = "Chilkat.Js";

// The last statement is an expression
status + " for " + system;
