how to make local values available when embedding?

[GeoffreyPlitt]

Hi,

I'm trying to embed a coffeescript REPL inside a coffeescript program. I've constructed a carefully-configured object that I'd like to pass into the REPL, which cannot easily be constructed by an eval'ed string.

Is there something like this available?

opts.locals= myobj: carefully_constructed_obj

Or how do I add something to nesh.defaults?

-G

Is there a reason they need to be locals and not globals? If they can be globals, there are a number of ways that aren't too hard to set them.

[GeoffreyPlitt]

globals is probably fine, can you explain further?

Easiest way is probably to look at an the nesh-hello example plugin and then basically make a copy and just set context.whatever to your object. https://github.com/danielgtaylor/nesh-hello

@GeoffreyPlitt did you get this figured out? The example line that adds to the context is here:

https://github.com/danielgtaylor/nesh-hello/blob/master/hello.js#L8

There is no need to make a separate npm module for this. You can create an object with that postStart method defined and pass that into the plugin loader, all within your project.

Cool, thanks. The project I was using this for isn't active anymore, but I'll keep this in mind for the future.
