24
+ ### SYNOPSIS
25
+
26
+ gem install therubyracer
27
+
28
+ then in your Ruby code
29
+
30
+ require 'v8'
31
+
32
+ or if using bundler (as with Rails), add the following to your Gemfile
33
+
34
+ gem "therubyracer"
35
+
36
+ evaluate some simple JavaScript
37
+
38
+ cxt = V8::Context.new
39
+ cxt.eval('7 * 6') #=> 42
40
+
41
+ access values inside your JavaScript context from Ruby
42
+
43
+ cxt.eval 'var val = {num: 5, fun: function isTruthy(arg) { return !!arg }}'
44
+ val = cxt[:val] #=> V8::Object
45
+ cxt[:val] == cxt.scope.val #=> true
46
+ val.num #=> 5
47
+ val.isTruthy(1) #=> true
48
+
49
+ this includes references to JavaScript functions
50
+
51
+ truthy = val[:isTruthy] #=> V8::Function
52
+ truthy.call(' ') #=> true
53
+ truthy.call(0) #=> false
54
+
55
+
56
+ embed values into the scope of your context
57
+
58
+ cxt['foo'] = "bar"
59
+ cxt.eval('foo') # => "bar"
60
+
61
+ embed Ruby code into your scope and call it from JavaScript
62
+
63
+ cxt["say"] = lambda {|this, word, times| word * times}
64
+ cxt.eval("say('Hello', 3)") #=> HelloHelloHello
65
+
66
+ embed a Ruby object into your scope and access its properties/methods
67
+ from JavaScript
68
+
69
+ class MyMath
70
+ def plus(lhs, rhs)
71
+ lhs + rhs
72
+ end
73
+ end
74
+
75
+ cxt['math'] = MyMath.new
76
+ cxt.eval("math.plus(20,22)") #=> 42
77
+
78
+ make a Ruby object *be* your global JavaScript scope.
79
+
80
+ math = MyMath.new
81
+ V8::Context.new(:with => math) do |cxt|
82
+ cxt.eval("plus(20,22)") #=> 42
83
+ end
84
+
85
+ you can do the same thing with Object#eval_js
86
+
87
+ math.eval_js("plus(20,22)")
88
+
89
+ ### Different ways of loading JavaScript source
90
+
91
+ In addition to just evaluating strings, you can also use streams, such
92
+ as files.
93
+
94
+ evaluate bytes read from any File/IO object:
95
+
96
+ File.open("mysource.js") do |file|
97
+ cxt.eval(file, "mysource.js")
98
+ end
99
+
100
+ or load it by filename
101
+
102
+ cxt.load("mysource.js")
103
+
104
+ ### Safe by default, dangerous by demand
105
+
106
+ The Ruby Racer is designed to let you evaluate JavaScript as safely as
107
+ possible unless you tell it to do something more dangerous. The
108
+ default context is a hermetically sealed JavaScript environment with
109
+ only the standard JavaScript objects and functions. Nothing from the
110
+ Ruby world is accessible at all.
111
+
112
+ For Ruby objects that you explicitly embed into JavaScript, by default
113
+ only the _public_ methods _below_ `Object` are exposed by default.
114
+ E.g.
115
+
116
+ class A
117
+ def a
118
+ "a"
119
+ end
120
+
121
+ def to_s
122
+ super
123
+ end
124
+ end
125
+
126
+ class B < A
127
+ def b
128
+ "b"
129
+ end
130
+ end
131
+
132
+
133
+ V8::Context.new do |cxt|
134
+ cxt['a'] = A.new
135
+ cxt['b'] = B.new
136
+ cxt.eval("a.a") # => 'a'
137
+ cxt.eval("b.b") # => 'b'
138
+ cxt.eval("b.a") # => 'a'
139
+ cxt.eval("b.to_s") # => #<B:0x101776be8> (because A explicitly defined it)
140
+ cxt.eval("b.object_id") #=> undefined, object_id is on Object
141
+ end
142
+
143
+ If needed, you can override the [Ruby Access][access] to allow whatever
144
+ behavior you'd like.
145
+
146
+ [access]:https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer/blob/master/lib/v8/access.rb
147
+
148
+ More documentation can be found on the [GitHub wiki](https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer/wiki)
149
+
150
+ ### Protecting Your CPU cycles
151
+
152
+ When running untrusted JavaScript code, you not only have to protect
153
+ which functions it has access to, but also how much of your CPU it can
154
+ consume. Take this simple, yet thoroughly malicious script:
155
+
156
+ ```javascript
157
+ while (true) {}
158
+ ```
159
+
160
+ It will loop forever and never return control to the calling Ruby
161
+ thread. To protect against such JavaScript code that either
162
+ deliberately or accidentally runs longer that it should, you can
163
+ set an explicit timeout on your context. If the code runs longer that
164
+ the allowed timeout, then it will throw an exception. Note that this
165
+ exception could be raised at any point in the execution of the
166
+ JavaScript.
167
+
168
+ To specify the timeout (in milliseconds), pass in the `timeout` option
169
+ to the constructor.
170
+
171
+ ```ruby
172
+ cxt = V8::Context.new timeout: 700
173
+ cxt.eval "while (true);" #= exception after 700ms!
174
+ ```
175
+
176
+ ### PREREQUISITES
177
+
178
+ The Ruby Racer requires the V8 Javascript engine, but it offloads the
179
+ handling of this dependency to the
180
+ [libv8](https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8) gem. Because libv8 is now a
181
+ gem dependency, you do not need a separate libv8 entry in your
182
+ project's Gemfile.
183
+
184
+ Please see [libv8](https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8) for V8 runtime
185
+ installation options.
186
+
