mod_console, Servoy 4 JavaScript interpreter released

[agiletortoise]

I've posted my console module for Servoy, for anyone who may be interested.

mod_console provides an interactive JavaScript interpreter in the client runtime, and can be easily added to any existing solution, to allow you explore objects and execute testing code in the Smart or web client. Think of it as a JavaScript command line for you solution.

Some of you may have seen me using this in my demo at the last VUG meeting. I find it very handy to explore things in my solutions...sometimes also to do somewhat more dangerous things, like little data manipulation fixes on live solutions.

I believe there is another more comprehensive console module out there, but I thought I'd throw mine up, too. One of the interesting thing I was able to accomplish in this solution that couldn't be done prior to Servoy 4, is control the scope which the interpreter is evaluated in. It defaults to the global scope, but you can select "Form" scope, and select a specific form and have your code evaluated as though it were a method on that form (ie, 'this' will evaluate to the form).

Have fun, feedback is welcome!

Greg - this is AWESOME! I love the scope feature.

Thanks very much for sharing it with the community!
