scriptcs-edge

What is it?

Execute node.js scripts from scriptcs with the power of [edge] (https://github.com/tjanczuk/edge). Script on script!

Edge allows invoking node.js applications from within .NET! scriptcs-edge makes it easy to consume edge within your scriptcs scripts.

Platform requirements

Currently only Windows is supported as the edge nuget package only works on Windows.

Install

scriptcs -install ScriptCs.Edge

Sample Usage

Require<EdgePack>();

//Edge.Func is static so no need to use the return value.
var func = Edge.Func(
	@"return function(data, callback) {
		callback(null, 'Node js ' + process.version + ' welcomes ' + data);
	}"
);

var msg = (string) func(".NET").Result;
Console.WriteLine(msg);

Notes

This is a work in progress. The Edge library is very new and we have not tested it heavily with scriptcs. There are no known issues at this time, but this may change.
