Call a JavaScript Function Passing an Array Argument

See more JavaScript Examples

Demonstrates how to call a JavaScript function with an argument that is an array. Go

    success := false

    //  This is the JavaScript function we'll call:

    //  function calculateTotal(numbers) {
    //    console.log(numbers);
    //    let total = 0;
    //    
    //    // Loop through every number in the array
    //    for (const num of numbers) {
    //      console.log(num);
    //      total += num;
    //    }
    //    
    //    return total;
    //  }

    sbScript := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()
    success = sbScript.LoadFile("js_function_array_arg.js","utf-8")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(sbScript.LastErrorText())
        sbScript.DisposeStringBuilder()
        return
    }

    js := chilkat.NewJs()

    result := chilkat.NewJsonObject()
    result.SetEmitCompact(false)

    //  Call Eval to add the function to the context's global object
    success = js.Eval(sbScript,result)
    if success == false {
        //  Examine the result for an exception.
        fmt.Println(*result.Emit())

        //  Also examine the LastErrorText.
        fmt.Println(js.LastErrorText())
        sbScript.DisposeStringBuilder()
        js.DisposeJs()
        result.DisposeJsonObject()
        return
    }

    //  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  Call the function calculateTotal(numbers)

    funcCall := chilkat.NewJsonObject()
    funcCall.SetEmitCompact(false)

    //  Create JSON specifying the function name and arguments
    //  In this case, there is only 1 argument, and it is an array.

    funcCall.UpdateString("name","calculateTotal")

    //  Create the arguments array.
    argsArray := chilkat.NewJsonArray()

    //  The 1st argument in the arguments array is itself an array.
    //  Passing -1 indicates to append to the array.
    arg := chilkat.NewJsonArray()
    argsArray.AddArrayAt2(-1,arg)

    //  Fill in the values for the 1st argument.
    arg.AddNumberAt(-1,"10.50")
    arg.AddNumberAt(-1,"20.00")
    arg.AddNumberAt(-1,"5.25")

    //  Add the "args" array to the funcCall.
    funcCall.AppendArrayCopy("args",argsArray)

    fmt.Println(*funcCall.Emit())

    //  The funcCall is as follows.  Notice that the 1st (and only) argument is an array.

    //  {
    //    "name": "calculateTotal",
    //    "args": [
    //      [
    //        10.50,
    //        20.00,
    //        5.25
    //      ]
    //    ]
    //  }

    success = js.CallFunction(funcCall,result)
    if success == false {
        //  Examine the result for an exception.
        fmt.Println(*result.Emit())

        //  Also examine the LastErrorText.
        fmt.Println(js.LastErrorText())
        sbScript.DisposeStringBuilder()
        js.DisposeJs()
        result.DisposeJsonObject()
        funcCall.DisposeJsonObject()
        argsArray.DisposeJsonArray()
        arg.DisposeJsonArray()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println(*result.Emit())

    //  Result:
    //  {
    //    "type": "double",
    //    "value": 35.75
    //  }

    //  The function also emitted text to the console.

    sbOut := chilkat.NewStringBuilder()
    js.ConsoleOutputSb(sbOut)
    fmt.Println(*sbOut.GetAsString())

    //  Output:
    //  10.5,20,5.25
    //  10.5
    //  20
    //  5.25

    //  -----------------------------------------------------------
    //  Note: If the array argument is simple, this is an alternative
    //  and simpler way of creating the funcCall:

    funcCall.Clear()
    funcCall.UpdateString("name","calculateTotal")
    funcCall.UpdateNumber("args[0][0]","10.50")
    funcCall.UpdateNumber("args[0][1]","20.00")
    funcCall.UpdateNumber("args[0][2]","5.25")
    fmt.Println(*funcCall.Emit())

    sbScript.DisposeStringBuilder()
    js.DisposeJs()
    result.DisposeJsonObject()
    funcCall.DisposeJsonObject()
    argsArray.DisposeJsonArray()
    arg.DisposeJsonArray()
    sbOut.DisposeStringBuilder()

JavaScript

function calculateTotal(numbers) {
  console.log(numbers);
  let total = 0;
  
  // Loop through every number in the array
  for (const num of numbers) {
    console.log(num);
    total += num;
  }
  
  return total;
