can we store function using shortstop?

can we store function using shortstop?
I am curious if that is possible.

[tlivings]

As in create a protocol handler that makes a value the result of invoking a function? Or just sets the value to a function?

In any case, yes.

const shortstop = require('shortstop');

const functionResolver = (func) => new Function(`return ${func}`)(); 

const json = {
  "greeting": "function:(firstName, lastName) => { console.log('Hello ' + firstName + ' ' + lastName) }"
};

const resolver = shortstop.create();
resolver.use('function', functionResolver);

resolver.resolve(json, (err, data) => {
  if (err) return console.error(err);
  data.greeting('Jack', 'Domino');
});

Hi @tlivings thanks for your comment. I've tried to make my own implementation in the above example.
Do you think it could be a workable solution to my question?

[tlivings]

IMO why not just export the function and use the require protocol handler to pull it in?

Are you wanting to inline code in the config?

@tlivings yeah. I was looking for a way to store functions dynamically in json.
