Edited Issue: Properties of Nullable type [30]

Dear Sir or Madam,
I seems to having problems setting properties of type Nullable<> from within JScript.

Sample script:
```
function foo(obj, propValue)
{
// obj.Prop is declared as of type Nullable<double>
// neither double nor Nullable<double> works for propValue parameter
obj.Prop = propValue;
}

```
Please help,
Yours faithfully

Comments: Hello MW! You're right; ClearScript does not support nullable types at the moment. Thanks for reporting this issue! We'll fix this problem as soon as possible. In the meantime, you could work around it by accessing nullable properties from the host rather than the script engine. Suppose your class looks like this: ``` C# public class MyObj { public int? Prop { get; set; } } ``` You could define a temporary helper class like this: ``` C# public static class MyObjHelpers { public static void SetProp(this MyObj myObj, dynamic value) { myObj.Prop = value; } public static object GetProp(this MyObj myObj) { return myObj.Prop; } } ``` Exposing the helper class allows you to do this in script code: ``` JavaScript myObj.SetProp(null); myObj.SetProp(123); var value = myObj.GetProp(); ``` Thanks again, and good luck!

It would be great to get access to the IE9+ Chakra engine as a lightweight (in terms of file size), ES5 compatible alternative to V8.

Comments: Chakra support would be great, but it's unlikely in the short term. The only official Chakra API is [JsRT](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn249673(v=vs.94).aspx), which doesn't support general interception in its initial (current) release. Without general interception, ClearScript-style hosting would be extremely inefficient.

Comments: Thanks for the reply. I will definitely check out the JsRT API. TBH I was pretty certain this was going to be a non-trivial request when I wrote it. Still, I wonder if there is some way to get access to the modern bits of Chakra (parsing, ES5 extras, JSON etc.) via it's ActiveScript implementation? So far all the attempts I've seen just make JScript go faster, but can't access the rest of the new features.

I would like to be able to build and use a lib of helper scripts preferably residing separately (in separate files or storage records).
How can I load or include such scripts in addition to or perhaps from within a main script being executed.
What would be your recommendations.

Yours faithfully,
MW

Hello MW!

You can execute any number of library scripts to prepare the environment for your main script. There really are no limitations. You can do something simple:
using (var engine = new V8ScriptEngine()) {
    engine.Execute(File.ReadAllText(@"C:\path\to\lib1.js"));
    engine.Execute(File.ReadAllText(@"C:\path\to\lib2.js"));
    // and so on
}
Or you can use a module manager such as RequireJS for a bit more structure; see here for a simple RequireJS implementation on ClearScript.

And because ClearScript executes scripts from in-memory strings, you can use whatever storage is convenient - files, resources, database records, etc. You can also construct scripts on the fly in memory.

Cheers!

Comments: >Still, I wonder if there is some way to get access to the modern bits of Chakra (parsing, ES5 extras, JSON etc.) via it's ActiveScript implementation? ​ From [this page](http://www.panopticoncentral.net/2013/07/02/introducing-jsrt-embedding-javascript-on-windows/): _The new Chakra engine, which has a high-performance GC and JIT compiler, does not officially support the IActiveScript interfaces._ We remain very much interested in Chakra because it's the only modern JavaScript engine that supports debugging in Visual Studio, but it does look like ClearScript integration will take some time, and that's assuming that general interception is on the JsRT roadmap. Cheers!

InfoIcon.jpgVersion 5.3.10 released. More...

Description

ClearScript is a library that makes it easy to add scripting to your .NET applications. It currently supports JavaScript (via V8 and JScript) and VBScript.

Features

  • Simple usage; create a script engine, add your objects and/or types, run scripts
  • Support for several script engines: Google's V8, Microsoft's JScript and VBScript
  • Exposed resources require no modification, decoration, or special coding of any kind
  • Scripts get simple access to most of the features of exposed objects and types:
    • Methods, properties, fields, events
    • (Objects) Indexers, extension methods, conversion operators, explicitly implemented interfaces
    • (Types) Constructors, nested types
  • Full support for generic types and methods, including C#-like type inference and explicit type arguments
  • Scripts can invoke methods with output parameters, optional parameters, and parameter arrays
  • Script delegates enable callbacks into script code
  • Support for exposing all the types defined in one or more assemblies in one step
  • Optional support for importing types and assemblies from script code
  • The host can invoke script functions and access script objects directly
  • Full support for script debugging

Examples

using System;
using Microsoft.ClearScript;
using Microsoft.ClearScript.V8;

// create a script engineusing (var engine = new V8ScriptEngine())
{
    // expose a host type
    engine.AddHostType("Console", typeof(Console));
    engine.Execute("Console.WriteLine('{0} is an interesting number.', Math.PI)");

    // expose a host object
    engine.AddHostObject("random", new Random());
    engine.Execute("Console.WriteLine(random.NextDouble())");

    // expose entire assemblies
    engine.AddHostObject("lib", new HostTypeCollection("mscorlib", "System.Core"));
    engine.Execute("Console.WriteLine(lib.System.DateTime.Now)");

    // create a host object from script
    engine.Execute(@"
        birthday = new lib.System.DateTime(2007, 5, 22);
        Console.WriteLine(birthday.ToLongDateString());
    ");

    // use a generic class from script
    engine.Execute(@"
        Dictionary = lib.System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary;
        dict = new Dictionary(lib.System.String, lib.System.Int32);
        dict.Add('foo', 123);
    ");

    // call a host method with an output parameter
    engine.AddHostObject("host", new HostFunctions());
    engine.Execute(@"
        intVar = host.newVar(lib.System.Int32);
        found = dict.TryGetValue('foo', intVar.out);
        Console.WriteLine('{0} {1}', found, intVar);
    ");

    // create and populate a host array
    engine.Execute(@"
        numbers = host.newArr(lib.System.Int32, 20);
        for (var i = 0; i < numbers.Length; i++) { numbers[i] = i; }
        Console.WriteLine(lib.System.String.Join(', ', numbers));
    ");

    // create a script delegate
    engine.Execute(@"
        Filter = lib.System.Func(lib.System.Int32, lib.System.Boolean);
        oddFilter = new Filter(function(value) {
            return (value & 1) ? true : false;
        });
    ");

    // use LINQ from script
    engine.Execute(@"
        oddNumbers = numbers.Where(oddFilter);
        Console.WriteLine(lib.System.String.Join(', ', oddNumbers));
    ");

    // use a dynamic host object
    engine.Execute(@"
        expando = new lib.System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject();
        expando.foo = 123;
        expando.bar = 'qux';
        delete expando.foo;
    ");

    // call a script function
    engine.Execute("function print(x) { Console.WriteLine(x); }");
    engine.Script.print(DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek);

    // examine a script object
    engine.Execute("person = { name: 'Fred', age: 5 }");
    Console.WriteLine(engine.Script.person.name);

An error in the 1st line is reported as being in line 0
An error in the 2nd line is also reported as being in line 0
And error in the 3rd as line 1
And then it increments as you would expect 2,3,4 ...

The JS engine is OK this is only in the VBScript engine.
