Javascript Engine

Revision as of 17:30, 7 March 2016

Javascript static Engine object.
This object is frozen.

Methods

• output([value1 [, value2 [, ...]]])

Output data to console / log.
Concatenate parameters. Put a space between them.
Does nothing if the resulting string is empty.

Engine.output("1",1,"test");
Engine.output("1" + " " + 1 + " test");
// Output: "1 1 test"

• debug([level, ][value1 [, value2 [, ...]]])

Put a debug message in console / log.
Concatenate values. Put a space between them.
Does nothing if the resulting string is empty.
Debug level is handled if the first parameter is an integer value. Defaults to Engine.DebugNote otherwise.

// The following calls will produce the same debug message:
Engine.debug(Engine.DebugNote,"test","out");
Engine.debug(8,"test out");
Engine.debug("test" + " out");

• alarm([info, ]level, value1 [, value2 [, ...]])

Put a debug message. Emits an alarm if a callback is installed.
Concatenate values. Put a space between them.
Does nothing if the resulting string is empty.
Parameters:
info: Optional alarm extra information
level: Debug/Alarm level

Engine.alarm("myscript",Engine.DebugWarn,"Some warning");
// Run time error:
Engine.alarm("some text");
Engine.alarm("myscript",Engine.DebugWarn);
// No alarm, no debug message:
Engine.alarm("myscript",Engine.DebugWarn,"");

• usleep()
• yield()
• idle()
• restart()
• dump_r()
• print_r()
• dump_t()
• print_t()
• debugName([name])

Set the debug name.
Retrieve debug name if no parameter is given.
Parameters:
name: Debug name to set

• debugLevel([level])

Set the debug level.
Retrieve the debug level if no parameter is given.
Parameters:
level: Debug level to set. Ignored if not an integer value

• debugEnabled([on])

Toggle (set) the debug enabled flag.
Retrieve the debug enabled flag if no parameter is given.
Parameters:

• debugAt(level)

Check if the current debug level is greater or equal to requested level.
Parameters:

Handled commands:
- level <level_value>: Set debug level to requested level value
- reset: Reset debug level to javascript module debug level
- engine: Reset debug level and debug enabled flag to yate engine settings
- boolean: Set debug enabled flag
All other values are ignored.

• started()

Check if engine is started at the time this method is called (engine.start message was sent).
Return:
TRUE if engine was started (all modules were loaded and initialized), FALSE if not.

• runParams([param])

Retrieve engine list of parameters specific to this run or a specified one.
Parameters:
param: Optional name of parameter to retrieve
Return:
Object with fields set to engine parameters or string with requested parameter value.

• configFile()
• setInterval()
• clearInterval()
• setTimeout()
• clearTimeout()
• loadLibrary()
• loadObject()
• replaceParams()

• atob

Decode Base64 data.
Parameters:
b64_str: Mandatory, Base64 encoded data
Return:
Decoded data, boolean false on failure (invalid Base64 data)

str = Engine.atob(b64_str)

• btoa

Encode string data to Base64.
Parameters:
str: Mandatory, data to encode
line_len: Optional line length (split encoded data, add end of line after each line_len chars)
add_eol: Optional, add an extra end of line after encoded data
Return:
Base64 encoded data

b64_str = Engine.btoa(str[,line_len[,add_eol]])

• atoh

Decode Base64 data.
Parameters:
b64_str: Mandatory, Base64 encoded data
hex_sep: Optional separator to use between octets. Set it to 'undefined' if not used and hex_upcase is given
hex_upcase: Optional, use upper case characters in hexa
Return:
Hexified string, boolean false on failure (invalid Base64 data)

hex_str = Engine.atoh(b64_str[,hex_sep[,hex_upcase]])

• htoa

Encode hexified binary (string) data to Base64.
Parameters:
hex_str: Mandatory, data to encode
line_len: Optional line length (split encoded data, add end of line after each line_len chars)
add_eol: Optional, add an extra end of line after encoded data
Return:
The string, boolean false on failure (invalid input string).

b64_str = Engine.htob(hex_str[,line_len[,add_eol]])

• btoh

Convert binary (string) data to hexified string.
Parameters:
str: Mandatory, data to hexify
hex_sep: Optional separator to use between octets. Set it to 'undefined' if not used and hex_upcase is given
hex_upcase: Optional, use upper case characters in hexa
Return:
Hexified string

hex_str = Engine.btoh(str[,hex_sep[,hex_upcase]])

• htob

Unhexify binary (string) data.
Parameters:
hex_str: Mandatory, data to unhexify
hex_sep: Optional separator between octets. Set it to 'undefined' if missing or unknown (autodetect)
Return:
The string, boolean false on failure (invalid input string).

str = Engine.htob(hex_str[,hex_sep])

Properties

• DebugFail, DebugTest, DebugGoOn, DebugConf, DebugStub, DebugWarn, DebugMild, DebugCall, DebugNote, DebugInfo, DebugAll

Debug levels to be used when calling Engine.debug() or Engine.alarm().
NOTE:: Debug level is clamped to interval [DebugTest .. DebugAll] unless 'allow_abort' is enabled in javascript.conf (in this case the debug level is clamped to interval [DebugFail .. DebugAll].

• shared

Provides access to Shared object.

• name

Script name. It may not be available.
This is the name assigned to the script.
This property is missing when running javascript eval command.
Example:

javascript.conf:
[scripts]
test=some_script.js
