The library allows to use a simple loadable C++ plugins for V8 engine embedded
in a program. A target platform should support dynamically loadable modules
(i.e. .so or .dll libraries). The target application should contain
v8pp::context implementation from a
v8pp/context.cpp file.
Each plugin should export an initialization procedure declared as
V8PP_PLUGIN_INIT(v8::Isolate* isolate). This init procedure adds bindings to
the V8 isolate instance and should return an exported object:
// in a plugin shared library
V8PP_PLUGIN_INIT(v8::Isolate* isolate)
{
return v8pp::to_v8(isolate, 42);
}
The exported value retuned is availbale as a require() result in JavaScript:
var plugin_exports = require('plugin');
console.log(plugin_exports); // 42
See plugins directory for samples.
