## Effortless JS Integration for Rust
[](https://crates.io/crates/rustyscript)

This crate is meant to provide a quick and simple way to integrate a runtime javascript or typescript component from within rust.
It uses the v8 engine through the `deno_core` crate, and is meant to be as simple as possible to use without sacrificing flexibility or performance.
I also have attempted to abstract away the v8 engine details so you can for the most part operate directly on rust types.
- **By default, the code being run is entirely sandboxed from the host, having no filesystem or network access.**
- It can be extended to include those capabilities and more if desired - please see the `web` feature, and the `runtime_extensions` example
- Asynchronous JS code is supported (I suggest using the timeout option when creating your runtime)
- Loaded JS modules can import other modules
- Typescript is supported by default, and will be transpiled into JS for execution
----
Here is a very basic use of this crate to execute a JS module. It will:
- Create a basic runtime
- Load a javascript module,
- Call a function registered as the entrypoint
- Return the resulting value
```rust
use rustyscript::{json_args, Runtime, Module, Error};
let module = Module::new(
"test.js",
"
export default (string, integer) => {
console.log(`Hello world: string=${string}, integer=${integer}`);
return 2;
}
"
);
let value: usize = Runtime::execute_module(
&module, vec![],
Default::default(),
json_args!("test", 5)
)?;
assert_eq!(value, 2);
```
Modules can also be loaded from the filesystem with [`Module::load`] or [`Module::load_dir`] if you want to collect all modules in a given directory.
----
If all you need is the result of a single javascript expression, you can use:
```rust
let result: i64 = rustyscript::evaluate("5 + 5").expect("The expression was invalid!");
```
Or to just import a single module for use:
```rust
use rustyscript::{json_args, import};
let mut module = import("js/my_module.js").expect("Something went wrong!");
let value: String = module.call("exported_function_name", json_args!()).expect("Could not get a value!");
```
There are a few other utilities included, such as [`validate`] and [`resolve_path`]
----
A more detailed version of the crate's usage can be seen below, which breaks down the steps instead of using the one-liner [`Runtime::execute_module`]:
```rust
use rustyscript::{json_args, Runtime, RuntimeOptions, Module, Error, Undefined};
use std::time::Duration;
let module = Module::new(
"test.js",
"
let internalValue = 0;
export const load = (value) => internalValue = value;
export const getValue = () => internalValue;
"
);
// Create a new runtime
let mut runtime = Runtime::new(RuntimeOptions {
timeout: Duration::from_millis(50), // Stop execution by force after 50ms
default_entrypoint: Some("load".to_string()), // Run this as the entrypoint function if none is registered
..Default::default()
})?;
// The handle returned is used to get exported functions and values from that module.
// We then call the entrypoint function, but do not need a return value.
//Load can be called multiple times, and modules can import other loaded modules
// Using `import './filename.js'`
let module_handle = runtime.load_module(&module)?;
runtime.call_entrypoint::(&module_handle, json_args!(2))?;
// Functions don't need to be the entrypoint to be callable!
let internal_value: i64 = runtime.call_function(Some(&module_handle), "getValue", json_args!())?;
```
There are also '_async' and 'immediate' versions of most runtime functions;
'_async' functions return a future that resolves to the result of the operation, while
'_immediate' functions will make no attempt to wait for the event loop, making them suitable
for using [`crate::js_value::Promise`]
Rust functions can also be registered to be called from javascript:
```rust
use rustyscript::{ Runtime, Module, serde_json::Value };
let module = Module::new("test.js", " rustyscript.functions.foo(); ");
let mut runtime = Runtime::new(Default::default())?;
runtime.register_function("foo", |args| {
if let Some(value) = args.get(0) {
println!("called with: {}", value);
}
Ok(Value::Null)
})?;
runtime.load_module(&module)?;
```
----
Asynchronous JS can be called in 2 ways;
The first is to use the 'async' keyword in JS, and then call the function using [`Runtime::call_function_async`]
```rust
use rustyscript::{ Runtime, Module, json_args };
let module = Module::new("test.js", "export async function foo() { return 5; }");
let mut runtime = Runtime::new(Default::default())?;
// The runtime has its own tokio runtime; you can get a handle to it with [Runtime::tokio_runtime]
// You can also build the runtime with your own tokio runtime, see [Runtime::with_tokio_runtime]
let tokio_runtime = runtime.tokio_runtime();
let result: i32 = tokio_runtime.block_on(async {
// Top-level await is supported - we can load modules asynchronously
let handle = runtime.load_module_async(&module).await?;
// Call the function asynchronously
runtime.call_function_async(Some(&handle), "foo", json_args!()).await
})?;
assert_eq!(result, 5);
```
The second is to use [`crate::js_value::Promise`]
```rust
use rustyscript::{ Runtime, Module, js_value::Promise, json_args };
let module = Module::new("test.js", "export async function foo() { return 5; }");
let mut runtime = Runtime::new(Default::default())?;
let handle = runtime.load_module(&module)?;
// We call the function without waiting for the event loop to run, or for the promise to resolve
// This way we can store it and wait for it later, without blocking the event loop or borrowing the runtime
let result: Promise = runtime.call_function_immediate(Some(&handle), "foo", json_args!())?;
// We can then wait for the promise to resolve
// We can do so asynchronously, using [crate::js_value::Promise::into_future]
// But we can also block the current thread:
let result = result.into_value(&mut runtime)?;
assert_eq!(result, 5);
```
- See [`Runtime::register_async_function`] for registering and calling async rust from JS
- See `examples/async_javascript.rs` for a more detailed example of using async JS
----
For better performance calling rust code, consider using an extension instead of a module - see the `runtime_extensions` example for details
----
A threaded worker can be used to run code in a separate thread, or to allow multiple concurrent runtimes.
the [`worker`] module provides a simple interface to create and interact with workers.
The [`worker::InnerWorker`] trait can be implemented to provide custom worker behavior.
It also provides a default worker implementation that can be used without any additional setup:
```rust
use rustyscript::{Error, worker::{Worker, DefaultWorker, DefaultWorkerOptions}};
use std::time::Duration;
fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
let worker = DefaultWorker::new(DefaultWorkerOptions {
default_entrypoint: None,
timeout: Duration::from_secs(5),
})?;
let result: i32 = worker.eval("5 + 5".to_string())?;
assert_eq!(result, 10);
Ok(())
}
```

#### Utility Functions
These functions provide simple one-liner access to common features of this crate:
- `evaluate`; Evaluate a single JS expression and return the resulting value
- `import`; Get a handle to a JS module from which you can get exported values and functions
- `resolve_path`; Resolve a relative path to the current working dir
- `validate`; Validate the syntax of a JS expression
- `init_platform`; Initialize the V8 platform for multi-threaded applications
#### Crate features
The table below lists the available features for this crate. Features marked at `Preserves Sandbox: NO` break isolation between loaded JS modules and the host system.
Use with caution.
More details on the features can be found in `Cargo.toml`
Please note that the `web` feature will also enable `fs_import` and `url_import`, allowing arbitrary filesystem and network access for import statements
- This is because the `deno_web` crate allows both fetch and FS reads already
