PowerShell use the Jint engine to perform JavaScript functions in PowerShell _powershell

This shows how to use PowerShell to hand a section of JavaScript function strings to the Jint engine for execution.

Executing JavaScript functions

. NET version of JavaScript interpreter

You can get Jint code from git, or you can download Jint assemblies from NuGet.

Jint is a. Net-oriented JavaScript interpreter. Jint does not compile JavaScript into. NET bytecode, so it works well for scripts that are small and run faster, or scripts that run on different platforms.

PowerShell Call

Get the DLL. Use the Add-type command directly from the-path parameter:

function Invoke-jsadd ($a, $b) {
Add-type–path "C:\jint\Jint.dll"

$JavaScript = "
function Add (A, b) {
return a + B;
}
"
$add = (New-object jint.engine).
Execute ($JavaScript).
GetValue ("Add")

$add. Invoke ($a, $b). ToString ()
}
