This is the Javascript language module used by
mod-lang-dynjs and
mod-lang-rhino.
This module is not typically used directly, but rather both mod-lang-rhino
and mod-lang-dynjs have a dependency on this module which provides
the core Javascript API for Vert.x.
The module is built on our Cloudbees CI server, as well as on Travis CI with each push to GitHub.
You'll need to have Maven and JDK7 or better installed. If you don't, do that first. Then you can clone and build.
$ git clone https://github.com/vert-x/mod-lang-js.git
$ cd mod-lang-js
$ mvn verify
This will run all of the integration tests against both mod-lang-rhino and mod-lang-dynjs.
If you're hacking on this code and want to install this module locally:
$ mvn install
Now your local vert.x installation will pick up the local version when
testing against mod-lang-dynjs or mod-lang-rhino.
By default, vert.x runs Javascript verticles and modules with Rhino. Change
this by creating a langs.properties file at the root of your project that
looks like this for dynjs.
dynjs=io.vertx~lang-dynjs~1.0.0:org.dynjs.vertx.DynJSVerticleFactory
.js=dynjs
Or if you want to use the experimental nashorn module, do this.
nashorn=io.vertx~lang-nashorn~1.0.0-beta2-SNAPSHOT:org.vertx.java.platform.impl.NashornVerticleFactory
.js=nashorn
Enjoy. And if you have any problems, hit us on on freenode at #dynjs or #vertx.
