These -bindings are not compatible with the V8 bindings used by Blink because both -want to control the v8::Isolate's internal data field. Maybe in some future -world we'll refactor the Blink V8 bindings to use this system. In the meantime, -these bindings are convenient for projects other than Blink that use V8. +This directory contains Gin, a set of utilities to make working with V8 easier. + +Here are some of the key bits: + +* converter.h: Templatized JS<->C++ conversion routines for many common C++ + types. You can define your own by specializing Converter. + +* function_template.h: Create JavaScript functions that dispatch to any C++ + function, member function pointer, or base::Callback. + +* object_template_builder.h: A handy utility for creation of v8::ObjectTemplate. + +* wrappable.h: Base class for C++ classes that want to be owned by the V8 GC. + Wrappable objects are automatically deleted when GC discovers that nothing in + the V8 heap refers to them. This is also an easy way to expose C++ objects to + JavaScript. + +* runner.h: Create script contexts and run code in them. + +* module_runner_delegate.h: A delegate for runner that implements a subset of + the AMD module specification. Also see modules/ with some example modules. |
