Javet is Java + V8 (JAVa + V + EighT). It is an awesome way of embedding Node.js and V8 in Java.
From v0.9.8, Javet allows injecting arbitrary Java objects into V8 which enables the complete interop between Java and JavaScript. To enable this feature, application just needs to call v8Runtime.setConverter(new JavetProxyConverter());. Here are 3 examples.
Inject a Static Class
v8Runtime.getGlobalObject().set("System", System.class);
v8Runtime.getExecutor("function main() {\n" +
// Java reference can be directly called in JavaScript.
" System.out.println('Hello from Java');\n" +
// Java reference can be directly assigned to JavaScript variable.
" const println = System.out.println;\n" +
// Java reference can be directly assigned to JavaScript variable.
" println('Hello from JavaScript');\n" +
"}\n" +
"main();").executeVoid();
v8Runtime.getGlobalObject().delete("System");/*
* Output:
* Hello from Java
* Hello from JavaScript
*/
Inject an Enum
v8Runtime.getGlobalObject().set("Color", Color.class);
System.out.println(v8Runtime.getExecutor("Color.pink.toString();").executeString());
System.out.println("The enum in JavaScript is the one in Java: " +
(Color.pink == (Color) v8Runtime.getExecutor("Color.pink;").executeObject()));
v8Runtime.getGlobalObject().delete("Color");/*
* Output:
* java.awt.Color[r=255,g=175,b=175]
* The enum in JavaScript is the one in Java: true
*/
Inject a Pattern
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("^\\d+$");
v8Runtime.getExecutor("function main(pattern) {\n" +
" return [\n" +
" pattern.matcher('123').matches(),\n" +
" pattern.matcher('abc').matches(),\n" +
" ];\n" +
"}").executeVoid();
System.out.println(v8Runtime.getGlobalObject().invokeObject("main", pattern).toString());/*
* Output:
* [true, false]
*/
Inject a StringBuilder
v8Runtime.getGlobalObject().set("StringBuilder", StringBuilder.class);
System.out.println(v8Runtime.getExecutor("function main() {\n" +
" return new StringBuilder('Hello').append(' from StringBuilder').toString();\n" +
"}\n" +
"main();").executeString());
v8Runtime.getGlobalObject().delete("StringBuilder");/*
* Output:
* Hello from StringBuilder
*/
