eval in stratifiedjs

[gofrend...@gmail.com]

I really need synchronous flow as I made a google-blockly-based application that need to wait for user input before continue everything.

I glad to find stratifiedjs.

However, I've just realize that when I do eval, the script is executed as javascript, not as sjs.

How could I do sjs's eval?

Hi,

You're right, Stratifiedjs doesn't override the global `eval` function. It's not that often you really _need_ to use eval, but I don't know much about blocky so I'll assume you have a good reason for it ;)

So anyway, the StratifiedJS eval function lives in the sjs:sys module. You can use it with something like:

    require('sjs:sys').eval("hold(1000); console.log('done!');")

It's a little limited (IIRC it executes in the global scope and doesn't have access to local variables), but if you really do need eval, hopefully it's sufficient.

Cheers,

Hi Tim, thanks for your reply.
I have try your solution. I also do a trick to let stratifiedjs evaluate necessary functions.
Basically this is what I do:

<script id="my_prerequisites_scripts">
     // write all of my prerequisites javascript here, define functions etc
</script>

<script type="text/sjs">
    var my_code = '// some stratifiedjs script, that use hold etc';
    var my_prefix = document.getElementById('my_prerequisites_scripts').innerText;
    require('sjs:sys').eval(my_prefix + my_code + 'console.log("done")');
</script>

I hope this will help someone with the same problem too.
I glad I found stratifiedjs. It is just elegant and cool. Javascript should be like this :)
