flutterscript
An embeddable interpreter for Flutter applications
Getting Started
import "package:flutterscript/flutterscript.dart";
main() async {
FlutterScript interpreter = await FlutterScript.create();
await interpreter.eval('"Hello World"'); //> "Hello World"
}
You can embed dart functions into the interpreter using the defn
method:
await interpreter.defn("loud", (DartArguments arguments) {
String input = arguments.positional.first.toString();
return "${input.toUpperCase()}!";
});
await interpreter.eval('(loud "Hello World")'); //> "HELLO WORLD!";
To embed a class into the interpreter, you use the defClass method
where you give it a constructor function, and a list of methods on
that class.
await interpreter.defClass("Text", (DartArguments args) => Text(args[0]), {
"data": (text, __) => text.data,
"toString": (text, __) => "Text(${text.data})"
})
await interpreter.eval('(setq text (Text "Hello World"))');
await interpreter.eval('(-> text data)') //> "Hello World";
await interpreter.eval('(-> text toString)') //> "Text(Hello World)";
The door swings boths ways as well. Not only can you embed dart functions into FlutterScript and call them from FlutterScript code, but you can also bring FlutterScript functions into Dart and call them from Dart code:
FlutterScriptFn add = await interpreter.eval('(=> (x y) (+ x y))');
add([10, 7]); //=> 17
