Skookum JS¶
Skookum JS, or sjs for short, is a JavaScript runtime built on top of the Duktape engine. It provides a simple way to write applications using JavaScript with a traditional synchronous I/O model. It tries to minimize abstractions and give the developer as much control as possible over the platform and low level APIs.
Quickstart¶
git clone https://github.com/saghul/sjs
cd sjs
make
./build/sjs
Building¶
Compiling sjs is easy, the only dependency is the CMake build system.
Compile¶
For Debug builds (the default):
make
For Release builds:
make BUILDTYPE=Release
The installation prefix can be specified by setting PREFIX
, it defaults to /usr/local
.
make PREFIX=/usr
Install¶
sjs consists of a single binary, so if all you care about is the CLI itself, you can copy it anywhere in your filesystem. The build system provides some standard way to do this:
make install
By default sjs will be installed to the directory indicated by PREFIX
(/usr/local
by default) with the
following structure:
PREFIX
/bin: sjs binaryPREFIX
/lib: libsjs library
The destination of the files can be further altered by setting DESTDIR
. This will be prepended to PREFIX
.
Confusing, I know.
make DESTDIR=/tmp/testsjs install
Run the test suite¶
make test
Run the CLI without installing¶
./build/sjs
