I am writing javascript in script#. I would want to write a function that looks like
function myFunc()
{
if(this.value > 100)
return true;
else
return false;
}
This function can be called with any instance which has a property 'value'.
How can I write this function in Script#? In Script#, the generated javascript code seems to be making a local reference to this and doesn't work when some other object is passed as
'this'.
This is similar to being able to reference "this" inside a jQuery callback function. See the Current property on jQuery class for example (https://github.com/nikhilk/scriptsharp/blob/cc/src/Libraries/jQuery/jQuery.Core/jQuery.cs).
Specifically, if you write this:
[ScriptImport]
public static class Global {
[ScriptField, ScriptAlias("this")]
public static object This {
get { return null; }
}
}
Then you can write this:
public static class MyCode {
public static bool MyFunction() {
return (Script.GetField<int>(Globals.This, "value") > 100);
}
}
Of course you could also write the imported class to return a strongly typed class (again see the jQuery example), which would make it possible to write MyFunction without using Script.GetField.
The code above assumes script# 0.8 APIs (which you can get from the project's download page on github). For prior builds replace [ScriptImport] with [Imported] and [ScriptField] with [IntrinsicProperty].
I am hoping to put something like the This property in the Script class so its available out-of-the-box in when 0.8 is finalized.
