4. Add the node "global" object to the environment. so that methods declared on it become global to all modules

Add the node "global" object to the environment. so that methods declared on it become global to all modules


  • I ran a test getting c# transpiled to JS (via DuoCode) to run last night. Sadly. It expects presence of either nodes "global" or the browsers "document" object.

    I faked it by manually editing its global object to a new JS object. and manually fixing calls to methods it register's "Globally" to instead call based upon that object.

    Example: https://gist.github.com/fusspawn/231beee4c6ddb90bfca3

    Changes made to DuoCode output to get it running are on lines 4-7 of the compiled js and a few commented lines at the end of the compiled js

    15723 -> 15736.

    Please can we have a global object please <3.


  • However. Supprinsgly. Setting up the .NET runtime. and calling the writeline. Takes very little cpu budget..


  • I don't know if this will help you, but objects created without var are visible globally.

    myModule:

    myGlobalVar = "immaglobal";
var myLocalVar = "immalocal";

    myOtherModule:

    console.log(myGlobal); // "immaglobal"
console.log(myLocal); // error, undefined

    main:

    require('myModule');
require('myOtherModule');
console.log(myGlobal); // > "immaglobal"
console.log(myLocal); // > error, undefined

  • While my post was true at the time I posted it, this no longer works, which is not awesome. I was using that fact to expose my constructors globally.


  • Thanks for the info. and the update.
