JavaScriptObject
================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Reference<class_Reference>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A wrapper class for native JavaScript objects.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

JavaScriptObject is used to interact with JavaScript objects retrieved or created via :ref:`JavaScript.get_interface<class_JavaScript_method_get_interface>`, :ref:`JavaScript.create_object<class_JavaScript_method_create_object>`, or :ref:`JavaScript.create_callback<class_JavaScript_method_create_callback>`.

Example:

::

    extends Node
    
    var _my_js_callback = JavaScript.create_callback(self, "myCallback") # This reference must be kept
    var console = JavaScript.get_interface("console")
    
    func _init():
        var buf = JavaScript.create_object("ArrayBuffer", 10) # new ArrayBuffer(10)
        print(buf) # prints [JavaScriptObject:OBJECT_ID]
        var uint8arr = JavaScript.create_object("Uint8Array", buf) # new Uint8Array(buf)
        uint8arr[1] = 255
        prints(uint8arr[1], uint8arr.byteLength) # prints 255 10
        console.log(uint8arr) # prints in browser console "Uint8Array(10) [ 0, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ]"
    
        # Equivalent of JavaScript: Array.from(uint8arr).forEach(myCallback)
        JavaScript.get_interface("Array").from(uint8arr).forEach(_my_js_callback)
    
    func myCallback(args):
        # Will be called with the parameters passed to the "forEach" callback
        # [0, 0, [JavaScriptObject:1173]]
        # [255, 1, [JavaScriptObject:1173]]
        # ...
        # [0, 9, [JavaScriptObject:1180]]
        print(args)
