jerry_init

Summary

Initializes JerryScript engine, making possible to run JavaScript code and perform operations on JavaScript values.

Prototype

{% highlight cpp %} void jerry_init (jerry_flag_t flags); {% endhighlight %}

flags - combination of various engine configuration flags:

  • JERRY_FLAG_MEM_STATS - dump memory statistics;
  • JERRY_FLAG_ENABLE_LOG - enable logging;
  • JERRY_FLAG_SHOW_OPCODES - print compiled byte-code;
  • JERRY_FLAG_EMPTY - no flags, just initialize in default configuration.

See also

Example

{% highlight cpp %} { jerry_init (JERRY_FLAG_ENABLE_LOG);

// ...

jerry_cleanup (); } {% endhighlight %}

jerry_cleanup

Summary

Finish JavaScript engine execution, freeing memory and JavaScript values.

JavaScript values, received from engine, are inaccessible after the cleanup.

Prototype

{% highlight cpp %} void jerry_cleanup (void) {% endhighlight %}

jerry_parse

Summary

Parse specified script to execute in Global scope.

Current API doesn't permit replacement or modification of Global scope's code without engine restart, so jerry_parse could be invoked only once between jerry_init and jerry_cleanup.

Prototype

{% highlight cpp %} bool jerry_parse (const char* source_p, size_t source_size) {% endhighlight %}

  • source_p - string, containing source code to parse;
  • source_size - size of the string, in bytes.

See also

Example

{% highlight cpp %} { jerry_init (JERRY_FLAG_ENABLE_LOG);

char script [] = "print ('Hello, World!');"; jerry_parse (script, strlen (script));

jerry_run ();

jerry_cleanup (); } {% endhighlight %}

jerry_run

Summary

Run Global scope's code.

The code should be previously registered through jerry_parse.

Prototype

{% highlight cpp %} jerry_completion_code_t jerry_run (void) {% endhighlight %}

Returned completion code indicates whether run performed successfully (JERRY_COMPLETION_CODE_OK), or an unhandled JavaScript exception occurred (JERRY_COMPLETION_CODE_UNHANDLED_EXCEPTION).

See also

Example

{% highlight cpp %} { jerry_init (JERRY_FLAG_ENABLE_LOG);

char script [] = "print ('Hello, World!');"; jerry_parse (script, strlen (script));

jerry_run ();

jerry_cleanup (); } {% endhighlight %}

jerry_api_value_t

Summary

The data type represents any JavaScript value that can be sent to / received from the engine.

Type of value is identified by jerry_api_value_t::type, and can be one of the following:

  • JERRY_API_DATA_TYPE_UNDEFINED - JavaScript undefined;
  • JERRY_API_DATA_TYPE_NULL - JavaScript null;
  • JERRY_API_DATA_TYPE_BOOLEAN - boolean;
  • JERRY_API_DATA_TYPE_FLOAT64 - number;
  • JERRY_API_DATA_TYPE_STRING - string;
  • JERRY_API_DATA_TYPE_OBJECT - reference to JavaScript object.

Structure

{% highlight cpp %} typedef struct jerry_api_value_t { jerry_api_data_type_t type;

union { bool v_bool;

float v_float32;
double v_float64;

uint32_t v_uint32;

union
{
  jerry_api_string_t *v_string;
  jerry_api_object_t *v_object;
};

}; } jerry_api_value_t; {% endhighlight %}

jerry_api_eval

Summary

Perform JavaScript eval.

Prototype

{% highlight cpp %} jerry_completion_code_t jerry_api_eval (const char *source_p, size_t source_size, bool is_direct, bool is_strict, jerry_api_value_t *retval_p); {% endhighlight %}

  • source_p - source code to evaluate;
  • source_size - length of the source code;
  • is_direct - whether to perform eval in "direct" mode (possible only if eval invocation is performed from native function, called from JavaScript);
  • is_strict - perform eval as it is called from "strict mode" code;
  • retval_p - value, returned by eval (output parameter).

See also

Example

{% highlight cpp %} { jerry_api_value_t ret_val;

jerry_completion_code_t status = jerry_api_eval (str_to_eval, strlen (str_to_eval), false, false, &ret_val); } {% endhighlight %}

jerry_api_create_string

Summary

Create new JavaScript string.

Upon the JavaScript string becomes unused, all pointers to it should be released using jerry_api_release_string.

Prototype

{% highlight cpp %} jerry_api_string_t* jerry_api_create_string (const char *v) {% endhighlight %}

  • v - value of string to create;
  • returned value is pointer to created string.

See also

Example

{% highlight cpp %} { jerry_api_string_t *string_p = jerry_api_create_string ("abc");

...

jerry_api_release_string (string_p); } {% endhighlight %}

jerry_api_acquire_string

Summary

Acquire new pointer to the string for usage outside of the engine.

The acquired pointer should be released with jerry_api_release_string.

{% highlight cpp %} jerry_api_string_t* jerry_api_acquire_string (jerry_api_string_t *string_p) {% endhighlight %}

  • string_p - pointer to the string;

See also

Example

{% highlight cpp %} { jerry_api_string_t *str_ptr1_p = jerry_api_create_string ("abc"); jerry_api_string_t *str_ptr2_p = jerry_api_acquire_string (str_ptr1_p);

... // usage of both pointers

jerry_api_release_string (str_ptr1_p);

... // usage of str_ptr2_p pointer

jerry_api_release_string (str_ptr2_p); } {% endhighlight %}

jerry_api_release_string

Summary

Release specified pointer to the string.

... // usage of both pointers

jerry_api_release_string (str_ptr1_p);

... // usage of str_ptr2_p pointer

jerry_api_release_string (str_ptr2_p); } {% endhighlight %}

jerry_api_create_object

  • this_arg_p - object to use as 'this' during the invocation, or NULL - to set the Global object as 'this';
  • retval_p - function's return value (output parameter);
  • args_p, args_count - array of arguments and number of them;
  • returned value - true, if call was performed successfully, i.e.:
    • specified object is a function object (see also jerry_api_is_function);
    • no unhandled exceptions were thrown in connection with the call.

If call was performed successfully, returned value should be freed with jerry_api_release_value just when it becomes unnecessary.
