Creating a sub-context

[Florent S.]

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a way to create a sub-context, that is a context that inherit from another context.

The goal is to simulate the import feature.

1/ Create a global context

2/ Load and excute main script

3/ import creates a sub-context

4/ Load and execute the imported script in the sub-context

5/ copy some stuff from the sub-context back into the global context

I can't find a decent way to do so ...

Any clue ?

Regards, 

Florent

What have you tried so far? What did or didn't work?

There's no problem in creating as much Context objects as needed per Isolate.

When trying to detach an object from a context to reference it from another one, make sure both context objects share the same security token (SetSecurityToken) otherwise the operation will fail.

I don't really see why you'd like to create another context to load/compile/run javascript and then get a Context object reference to set on another Context. If it is for code privacy, wrapping the file contents on a different scope, pretty much like nodejs does would suffice.

Take into account that creating a Context is an expensive operation in every sense.

Hope that helps.
