How might you call console.log?

[ctaggart]

console is a global object in Node.js. How would I get a reference to it, so that I could call the .log function`?

Background: I want to play with a the TypeScript library from Neon, but need help getting started with Neon.

@dherman, pretty please.

I closed this thinking that I would be able to use the chakracore-rs library, but that didn't work out. I'm reopening this, hoping that I can get some help learning to use it.

OK, the API that's missing is the ability to get to the current global object -- filed as #249. From there you can pull off the console object and extract the log method. (We should also add conveniences to eliminate some of the tedium of all those steps.)

Fixed in #253:

pub fn call_console_log(call: Call) -> JsResult<JsObject> {
    let scope = call.scope;
    
    let global = scope.global();
    let console = global.get(scope, "console")?.check::<JsObject>()?;
    let log = console.get(scope, "log")?.check::<JsFunction>()?;
    let args: Vec<Handle<JsString>> = vec![JsString::new(scope, "hello world").unwrap()];
    log.call(scope, console, args.into_iter())?;
    // ...
}
