Eval JavaScript Returning String

See more JavaScript Examples

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

import { Js, JsonObject, StringBuilder } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // 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.
  const sbScript = new StringBuilder();
  try {
    sbScript.loadFile('js_eval_return_string.js', 'utf-8');
  } catch {
    console.log(sbScript.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  const js = new Js();
  const result = new JsonObject();

  // 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.
  try {
    await js.evalAsync(sbScript, result);
  } catch {
    console.log(js.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  result.emitCompact = false;
  console.log(result.emit());

  // 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;
