And then, use ClearScript (JavaScript+V8) from .NET
End of Universe around the corner ;-)
Something we could need:
var dotnet = require('dotnet');
var form = dotnet.createNew('System.Windows.Forms');
form.setText('Look ma... WinForm from Node.js');
form.show();
(Ok, I missed the Application loop)
That is, some module that expose (via reflection) the native methods
on an object or type to JavaScript/V8.
I don't know:
- How to manage garbage collection (V8 objects vs .NET objects)
- How to "marshall" arguments/return values (V8 objects vs .NET
objects) and if it is feasible
- V8 calls C++. How to call .NET from C++.
Any example of how to return a new V8 object in C++ with C++ methods
attached? Like the above form.setText?
Maybe, @tomasz code has some answers to me. But V8 C++ code is still
some obscure black magic to me, yet.
