This also changes --ast-dump to --dump-ast, because I like it better and that is what the variable is actually called.

## Name
|
|
|
|
js - evaluate JavaScript
|
|
|
|
## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```**sh
|
|
$ js [options...] [script.js]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
`js` evaluates JavaScript programs using the LibJS engine. If you pass it a path
|
|
to a script file, it will execute that script. Otherwise, it enters the
|
|
Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) mode, where it interactively reads pieces (usually,
|
|
single lines) of code from standard input, evaluates them in one shared
|
|
interpreter context, and prints back their results. This mode is useful for
|
|
quickly experimenting with LibJS.
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
* `-A`, `--dump-ast`: Dump the Abstract Syntax Tree after parsing the program.
|
|
* `-l`, `--print-last-result`: Print the result of the last statement executed.
|
|
* `-g`, `--gc-on-every-allocation`: Run garbage collection on every allocation.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Here's how you execute a script:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ js ~/js/type-play.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And here's an example of an interactive REPL session:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
$ js
|
|
> function log_sum(a, b) {
|
|
. console.log(a + b)
|
|
. }
|
|
[object ScriptFunction]
|
|
> log_sum(35, 42)
|
|
77
|
|
undefined
|
|
```
