getboolean / dpaperback_cli Goto Github PK

This is a note for myself. This project has stalled since I am unable to get Dart generated JavaScript to run on iOS' JavaScriptCore.

Issues

1. self is not defined in JavaScriptCore, but is used by the generated Javascript to create bindings between Dart and Javascript.
2. dpaperback_cli has not been updated to work with the latest dart_pb_extensions_common refactor, which puts the registered sources in a Sources module on context.

What I've Tried

Running Dart Generated Javascript Through Browserify

An attempt was made on the branch compile_refactor to fix it by running Dart code through browserify. I also inserted the below javascript so that the self variable would be defined.

var g;
if (typeof window !== "undefined") {
  g = window;
} else if (typeof global !== "undefined") {
  g = global;
} else if (typeof self !== "undefined") {
  g = self;
} else {
  g = this;
}
var self = g;

However, browserify did not pick up the objects registered by Dart, so the resulting Sources module did not have the registered source or source info.

Register Dart Objects Directly to Sources Module

This assumes that the Dart generated Javascript is appended after the paperback-commons library was run through browserify. An attempt was made to register the Dart objects to the Sources module, but only the Sources module created, however the Sources module created by browserify seemed to override it.
