7 Runtime System

This library implements the JavaScript runtime system. It can be required via:

 (require (planet dherman/javascript:9:2/runtime))

7.1 Namespaces

(make-js-namespace)  namespace?

Creates a PLT namespace containing the standard JavaScript top-level bindings.

(reset-js-namespace! ns)  any
  ns : namespace?

Resets the global object in JavaScript namespace ns.

7.2 Values

All Scheme values are legal JavaScript values. A subset of Scheme values are designated as native JavaScript values. A native value is one of:

7.3 Objects

The type object? is an opaque structure type. The types function?, array? and wrapper? are structure subtypes of object?. All objects carry an internal, mutable property table.

A property is one of:

Plain value properties are assumed to have no attributes. An attributed value may have any combination of the attributes DONT-ENUM?, READ-ONLY?, and DONT-DELETE?.

(struct attributed (value attributes))
  value : value?
  attributes : bit-set?

A bit-set is an efficient representation of a vector of booleans.

(bit-flag-set? x bit)  boolean?
  x : bit-field?
  bit : bit?

Checks for a bit in a bit set.

READ-ONLY? : bit?

A bit representing the ECMAScript ReadOnly attribute.

DONT-ENUM? : bit?

A bit representing the ECMAScript DontEnum attribute.

DONT-DELETE? : bit?

A bit representing the ECMAScript DontDelete attribute.

A property-value is one of:

A ref is a special property with custom get, set, and delete behavior.

(ref? x)  boolean?
  x : any

Determines whether x is a ref.

(set-ref! x v)  any
  x : ref?
  v : value?

Invoke x’s setter.

(delete-ref! x)  any
  x : ref?

Invoke x’s deleter.

(deref x)  any
  x : ref?

Invoke x’s getter.

(has-property? x key)  boolean?
  x : object?
  key : string?

Checks for the presence of property key in x, searching the prototype chain if necessary.

(has-own-property? x key)  boolean?
  x : object?
  key : string?

Checks for the presence of property key in x without searching the prototype chain.

(has-attribute? x bit)  boolean?
  x : property?
  bit : bit?

Checks for attribute bit in property x.

(object-get x key)  (optional/c value?)
  x : object?
  key : string?

Attempts to lookup property key in x.

(object-set! x key v)  any
  x : object?
  key : string?
  v : value?

Sets property key in x.

(object-delete! x key)  any
  x : object?
  key : string?

Attempts to delete property key from x.

(object-keys-stream x)  (-> string?)
  x : object?

Produces an enumeration stream consistent with JavaScript’s for..in semantics.

7.4 JavaScript Library

global-object : object?

The global object.

(install-standard-library! global)  any
  global : object?

Installs the properties of the standard library in global.
