# 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
|

## 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.

# 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
|
```
