otto/otto.go

/*
Package otto is a JavaScript parser and interpreter written natively in Go.

	// Create a new runtime
	Otto := otto.New()

	Otto.Run(`
		abc = 2 + 2
		console.log("The value of abc is " + abc)
		// The value of abc is 4
	`)

	value, err := Otto.Get("abc")
	{
		// value is an int64 with a value of 4
		value, _ := value.ToInteger()
	}

	Otto.Set("def", 11)
	Otto.Run(`
		console.log("The value of def is " + def)
		// The value of def is 11
	`)

	Otto.Set("xyzzy", "Nothing happens.")
	Otto.Run(`
		console.log(xyzzy.length) // 16
	`)

	value, _ = Otto.Run("xyzzy.length")
	{
		// value is an int64 with a value of 16
		value, _ := value.ToInteger()
	}

	value, err = Otto.Run("abcdefghijlmnopqrstuvwxyz.length")
	if err != nil {
		// err = ReferenceError: abcdefghijlmnopqrstuvwxyz is not defined
		// If there is an error, then value.IsUndefined() is true
		...
	}

Embedding a Go function in JavaScript:

	Otto.Set("sayHello", func(call otto.FunctionCall) otto.Value {
		fmt.Printf("Hello, %s.\n", call.Argument(0).String())
		return otto.UndefinedValue()
	})

	Otto.Set("twoPlus", func(call otto.FunctionCall) otto.Value {
		right, _ := call.Argument(0).ToInteger()
		result, _ := Otto.ToValue(2 + right)
		return result
	})

	result, _ = Otto.Run(`
		// First, say a greeting
		sayHello("Xyzzy") // Hello, Xyzzy.
		sayHello() // Hello, undefined

		result = twoPlus(2.0) // 4
	`)

You can run (Go) JavaScript from the commandline with: http://github.com/robertkrimen/otto/tree/master/otto

	$ go get -v github.com/robertkrimen/otto/otto

Run JavaScript by entering some source on stdin or by giving otto a filename:

	$ otto example.js

Optionally include the JavaScript utility-belt library, underscore, with this import:

	import (
		"github.com/robertkrimen/otto"
		_ "github.com/robertkrimen/otto/underscore"
	)

	// Now every otto runtime will come loaded with underscore

Caveat Emptor

    * For now, otto is a hybrid ECMA3/ECMA5 interpreter. Parts of the specification are still works in progress.
    * For example, "use strict" will parse, but does nothing.
    * Error reporting needs to be improved.
    * Does not support the (?!) or (?=) regular expression syntax (because Go does not)
    * JavaScript considers a vertical tab (\000B <VT>) to be part of the whitespace class (\s), while RE2 does not.
    * Really, error reporting could use some improvement.

Regular Expression Syntax

Go translates JavaScript-style regular expressions into something that is "regexp" package compatible.

Unfortunately, JavaScript has positive lookahead, negative lookahead, and backreferencing,
all of which are not supported by Go's RE2-like engine: https://code.google.com/p/re2/wiki/Syntax

A brief discussion of these limitations: "Regexp (?!re)" https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/golang-nuts/7qgSDWPIh_E

More information about RE2: https://code.google.com/p/re2/

JavaScript considers a vertical tab (\000B <VT>) to be part of the whitespace class (\s), while RE2 does not.
