Basic Usage
Here's a simple example of how to use the package:
import { quickJS } from '@sebastianwessel/quickjs'
// General setup like loading and init of the QuickJS wasm
// It is a ressource intensive job and should be done only once if possible
const { createRuntime } = await quickJS()
// Create a runtime instance (sandbox)
const { evalCode } = await createRuntime({
allowFetch: true, // inject fetch and allow the code to fetch data
allowFs: true, // mount a virtual file system and provide node:fs module
env: {
MY_ENV_VAR: 'env var value'
},
})
const result = await evalCode(`
import { join } as path from 'path'
const fn = async ()=>{
console.log(join('src','dist')) // logs "src/dist" on host system
console.log(env.MY_ENV_VAR) // logs "env var value" on host system
const url = new URL('https://example.com')
const f = await fetch(url)
return f.text()
}
export default await fn()
`)
console.log(result) // { ok: true, data: '<!doctype html>\n<html>\n[....]</html>\n' }Credits
