# example
|
| 8 |
|
|
|
| 9 |
|
|
Just write some client-side javascript:
|
| 10 |
|
|
|
| 11 |
|
|
``` js
|
| 12 |
|
|
var vm = require('vm');
|
| 13 |
|
|
|
| 14 |
|
|
window.addEventListener('load', function () {
|
| 15 |
|
|
var res = vm.runInNewContext('a + 5', { a : 100 });
|
| 16 |
|
|
document.querySelector('#res').textContent = res;
|
| 17 |
|
|
});
|
| 18 |
|
|
```
|
| 19 |
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
|
compile it with [browserify](http://github.com/substack/node-browserify):
|
| 21 |
|
|
|
| 22 |
|
|
```
|
| 23 |
|
|
browserify entry.js -o bundle.js
|
| 24 |
|
|
```
|
| 25 |
|
|
|
| 26 |
|
|
then whip up some html:
|
| 27 |
|
|
|
| 28 |
|
|
``` html
|
| 29 |
|
|
<html>
|
| 30 |
|
|
<head>
|
| 31 |
|
|
<script src="/bundle.js"></script>
|
| 32 |
|
|
</head>
|
| 33 |
|
|
<body>
|
| 34 |
|
|
result = <span id="res"></span>
|
| 35 |
|
|
</body>
|
| 36 |
|
|
</html>
|
| 37 |
|
|
```
|
| 38 |
|
|
|
| 39 |
|
|
and when you load the page you should see:
|
| 40 |
|
|
|
| 41 |
|
|
```
|
| 42 |
|
|
result = 105
|
| 43 |
|
|
```
|
| 44 |
|
|
|
| 45 |

|
## vm.runInNewContext(code, context={})
|
| 48 |
|
|
|
| 49 |
|
|
Evaluate some `code` in a new iframe with a `context`.
|
| 50 |
|
|
|
| 51 |
|
|
Contexts are like wrapping your code in a `with()` except slightly less terrible
|
| 52 |
|
|
because the code is sandboxed into a new iframe.
|
| 53 |
|
|
|
| 54 |

|
# install
|
| 55 |
|
|
|
| 56 |
|
|
This module is depended upon by browserify, so you should just be able to
|
| 57 |
|
|
`require('vm')` and it will just work. However if you want to use this module
|
| 58 |
|
|
directly you can install it with [npm](http://npmjs.org):
|
| 59 |
|
|
|
| 60 |
|
|
```
|
| 61 |
|
|
npm install vm-browserify
|
| 62 |
|
|
```
|
| 63 |
