Call a JavaScript Function Returning an Integer

See more JavaScript Examples

Demonstrates how to call a JavaScript function that returns an integer. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    //  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  The Javascript function called in this example is shown at the bottom of this page.
    //  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    //  In this example, we'll load the Javascript function definition from a file.
    //  It doesn't need to come from a file.  It could just as easily be loaded from a string.
    let sbScript = CkoStringBuilder()!
    success = sbScript.loadFile(path: "js_call_function.js", charset: "utf-8")
    if success == false {
        print("\(sbScript.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    //  Note: Each instance of a Chilkat Js object automatically establishes
    //  its own internal runtime and context.  Applications do not need to explicitly create
    //  the JavaScript runtime or context.
    let js = CkoJs()!

    let result = CkoJsonObject()!
    result.emitCompact = false

    //  Call Eval to add the function (shown at the bottom of this page) to the context's global object
    success = js.eval(jscript: sbScript, result: result)
    if success == false {
        //  Examine the result for an exception.
        print("\(result.emit()!)")

        //  Also examine the LastErrorText.
        print("\(js.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("\(result.emit()!)")

    //  The expected output is "undefined":

    //  {
    //    "type": "undefined",
    //    "value": "undefined"
    //  }

    //     When Eval processes a script containing only a function declaration,
    //     it successfully performs the action (the function becomes defined).
    //     However, since the script consists of a statement that produces no value,
    //     the script's overall completion value is empty. In JavaScript, the
    //     absence of a value is represented by `undefined`.
    //  
    //     Therefore, the Eval call returns `undefined`.

    //  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  Call the function calculateScore("Player1", 10, 20)

    let funcCall = CkoJsonObject()!

    //  Create JSON defining the function call:

    //  {
    //    "name": "calculateScore",
    //    "args": [ "Player1", 10, 20 ]
    //  }

    funcCall.updateString(jsonPath: "name", value: "calculateScore")
    funcCall.updateString(jsonPath: "args[0]", value: "Player1")
    funcCall.updateInt(jsonPath: "args[1]", value: 10)
    funcCall.updateInt(jsonPath: "args[2]", value: 20)

    funcCall.emitCompact = false
    print("\(funcCall.emit()!)")

    success = js.callFunction(func: funcCall, result: result)
    if success == false {
        //  Examine the result for an exception.
        print("\(result.emit()!)")

        //  Also examine the LastErrorText.
        print("\(js.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("\(result.emit()!)")

    //  Output:

    //  {
    //    "type": "int",
    //    "value": 37
    //  }

    var retval: Int = result.int(of: "value").intValue
    print("retval = \(retval)")

}

JavaScript

function calculateScore(name, pointsA, pointsB) {
    // Return length of name + both scores
    return name.length + pointsA + pointsB;
    }
