(eval-form+ ctx form opts)

Eval single form in ctx, return map of :val and :ns.

_Source

`eval-string+`

(eval-string+ ctx s)
(eval-string+ ctx s opts)

Same as eval-string* but returns map with :val, the evaluation result, and :ns, the last active namespace. The return value can be passed back into opts to preserve the namespace state.

_Source

`require`

Async require that can be substituted for sync require by {:namespaces {'clojure.core {'require scia/require}}}

_Source

sci.core

The main SCI API namespace.

`add-class!`

(add-class! ctx class-name class)

Adds class (JVM class or JS object) to ctx as class-name (a symbol). Returns mutated context.

_Source

`add-import!`

(add-import! ctx ns-name class-name alias)

Adds import of class named by class-name (a symbol) to namespace named by ns-name (a symbol) under alias alias (a symbol). Returns mutated context.

_Source

`add-js-lib!`

(add-js-lib! ctx name-str js-lib)

Add js library to context, so it can be used with require.

_Source

`add-namespace!`

(add-namespace! ctx ns-name ns-map)

Adds namespace map ns-map named by the symbol ns-name to ctx. Returns mutated context.

_Source

`all-ns`

(all-ns ctx)

_Source

`alter-var-root`

(alter-var-root v f)
(alter-var-root v f & args)

Atomically alters the root binding of sci var v by applying f to its current value plus any args.

_Source

`assert`

SCI var that represents SCI's clojure.core/assert

_Source

`binding`

(binding bindings & body)

Function.

Macro for binding sci vars. Must be called with a vector of sci dynamic vars to values.

_Source

Returns map of names to SCI vars as a result of copying public Clojure vars from ns-sym (a symbol). Attaches sci-ns (result of sci/create-ns) to meta. Copies :name, :macro :doc, :no-doc and :argslists metadata.

Options:

:exclude: a seqable of names to exclude from the namespace. Defaults to none.
:copy-meta: a seqable of keywords to copy from the original var meta. Use :all instead of a seqable to copy all. Defaults to [:doc :arglists :macro].
:exclude-when-meta: seqable of keywords; vars with meta matching these keys are excluded. Defaults to [:no-doc :skip-wiki]

The selection of vars is done at compile time which is mostly important for ClojureScript to not pull in vars into the compiled JS. Any additional vars can be added after the fact with sci/copy-var manually.

_Source

`copy-var`

(copy-var sym ns)
(copy-var sym ns opts)

Function.

Copies contents from var sym to a new sci var. The value ns is an object created with sci.core/create-ns.

`copy-var*`

(copy-var* clojure-var sci-ns)

Copies Clojure var to SCI var. Runtime analog of compile time copy-var.

_Source

`create-ns`

(create-ns sym)
(create-ns sym meta)

Creates namespace object. Can be used in var metadata.

_Source

`enable-unrestricted-access!`

(enable-unrestricted-access!)

Calling this will enable

Altering core vars using alter-var-root
In CLJS: set! is able to set the value of any var.
In CLJS: instance method calls are not restricted to only :classes

In the future, more unrestricted access may be added, so only use this when you're not using SCI as a sandbox.

_Source

SCI var that represents SCI's clojure.core/*err*

_Source

`eval-form`

(eval-form ctx form)

Evaluates form (as produced by parse-string or parse-next) in the context of ctx (as produced with init). To allow namespace switches, establish root binding of sci/ns with sci/binding or sci/with-bindings.

_Source

`eval-string`

(eval-string s)
(eval-string s opts)

Evaluates string s as one or multiple Clojure expressions using the Small Clojure Interpreter.

The map opts may contain the following:

:namespaces: a map of symbols to namespaces, where a namespace is a map with symbols to values, e.g.: {'foo.bar {'x 1}}. These namespaces can be used with require.
:bindings: :bindings x is the same as :namespaces {'user x}.
:allow: a seqable of allowed symbols. All symbols, even those brought in via :bindings or :namespaces have to be explicitly enumerated.
:deny: a seqable of disallowed symbols, e.g.: [loop quote recur].
:features: when provided a non-empty set of keywords, sci will process reader conditionals using these features (e.g. #{:bb}).
:ns-aliases: a map of aliases to namespaces that are globally valid, e.g. {'clojure.test 'cljs.test}

:val - the evaluated value
:ns - the namespace object
