version of the jsapp

[Daniel Mascena]

Hai,

i'm trying to execute some examples in the jsapp using the Node
v0.3.0 api, but it's raising some error like missing methods. I'm
wondering what is the version of node used by the jsapp's sandbox,
thanks...

JSApp.us is running on the latest version of the 0.3.x branch, 0.3.8 at time of writing.  I am assuming that the problems that you are experiencing is due to the fact that jsapp uses a sandbox, where most of the node api is modified to work in the safety of the sandbox.  I have tried to make everything that is not supported by jsapp, but listed in the node docs throw an error and warn of its absents.  

You might want to checkout: https://github.com/matthewfl/node-host/blob/master/sandbox/modules.js as it contains the base for the interface of the base modules provided.  If there is some module that is not being properly warned about being absent, let me know so I can add it, or fork it and add it in.

Thanks Matthew for this informations.. could you tell me if there is a reference api for the sandbox? Another doubt is how can I load a module from my  virtual file system, i'm trying through "require('./myModule.js')", but didn't work out.

Yes you should be able to reference files from your local file system using ./file-name.js, Note that this will not search for files, so you will have to use an exact name.

Something that will not work on jsapp with the require is using a variable name, and not a string in require, for example:

var a = "./some-file-name1.js";

var b = require(a); // this will not work

var c = require("./some-file-name2.js"); // this will work

There is a sorta hackish way to get around this, but I am not recommending it.
