How to change the C# parameter type to dynamic

[hyzx86]

Is there a way to convert the input type of C# function to ExpandoObject or dynamic?

Just like #479

I'm using OrchardCore ，I’m trying to use ClearScript to instead Jint.

Currently, Jint handles the conversion of JS primitive types to C# primitive types
Let's say I have a C# delegate

 var engine = new V8ScriptEngine();
            var methods = scriptingManager.GlobalMethodProviders.SelectMany(x => x.GetMethods());
            if (extraMethods != null)
            {
                methods = methods.Concat(extraMethods);
            }
            foreach (var method in methods)
            {
                engine.Script[method.Name]=method.Method(serviceProvider);
            }
engine.Script.test=Func<DateTime,string>((input)=> input.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") );
            return engine;

If it's in Jint, it can directly convert the input argument to a DateTime
But in ClearScript, it is a wrapped object

Please clarify. Are you asking about changing the source code? Or are you referring to some kind of conversion at runtime? Please say more about what you're trying to do and what isn't working. Thanks!

Hi @hyzx86,

If it's in Jint, it can directly convert the input argument to a DateTime

By default, ClearScript prefers not to perform lossy conversions automatically. However, you can do this:

var engine = new V8ScriptEngine(V8ScriptEngineFlags.EnableDateTimeConversion);

Cheers!

The e DateTime above is just one example, there are actually many types.

In the following code, methods contains many other types. Including, but not limited to,
"string, Boolean, number/int, IDictionary< string,object> / ExpandoObject,Array , etc..."

 foreach (var method in methods)
 {
   engine.Script[method.Name]=method.Method(serviceProvider);
 }

In my own project, I can set them to object and convert them to the appropriate type, but I developed it based on the OrchardCore's nuget package ~

I wonder if there is a way to make ClearScript vs. NET type easy to convert?
Thanks！

string, Boolean, number/int

Lossless conversion of fundamental types is automatic and enabled by default in ClearScript.

IDictionary< string,object> / ExpandoObject

ClearScript exposes JavaScript objects as ScriptObject, which inherits from DynamicObject and provides full access. Is that not sufficient?

Array

JavaScript arrays can have arbitrarily named properties, so a conversion to .NET Array is lossy as well as inefficient, especially if the array is large. However, ClearScript detects JavaScript arrays and exposes them as objects implementing IList. Is that not sufficient?

Thanks ，I need to try more
