By default, no properties or functions are exported. A class must implement +isKeyExcludedFromWebScript: and/or +isSelectorExcludedFromWebScript: to expose selected properties and methods, respectively, to JavaScript. Access to exported properties is done using KVC -- specifically, the following KVC methods: - (void)setValue:(id)value forKey:(NSString *)key - (id)valueForKey:(NSString *)key Clients may also intercept property set/get operations that are made by the scripting environment for properties that are not exported. This is done using the KVC methods: - (void)setValue:(id)value forUndefinedKey:(NSString *)key - (id)valueForUndefinedKey:(NSString *)key Similarly, clients may intercept method invocations that are made by the scripting environment for methods that are not exported. This is done using the method: - (id)invokeUndefinedMethodFromWebScript:(NSString *)name withArguments:(NSArray *)args; If clients need to raise an exception in the script environment they can call [WebScriptObject throwException:]. Note that throwing an exception using this method will only succeed if the method that throws the exception is being called within the scope of a script invocation. Not all methods are exposed. Only those methods whose parameters and return type meets the export criteria are exposed. Valid types are Objective-C instances and scalars. Other types are not allowed. Types will be converted automatically between JavaScript and Objective-C in the following manner: JavaScript ObjC ---------- ---------- null => nil undefined => WebUndefined number => NSNumber boolean => CFBoolean string => NSString object => id The object => id conversion occurs as follows: if the object wraps an underlying Objective-C object (i.e., if it was created by a previous ObjC => JavaScript conversion), then the underlying Objective-C object is returned. Otherwise, a new WebScriptObject is created and returned. The above conversions occur only if the declared ObjC type is an object type. For primitive types like int and char, a numeric cast is performed. ObjC JavaScript ---- ---------- NSNull => null nil => undefined WebUndefined => undefined CFBoolean => boolean NSNumber => number NSString => string NSArray => array object WebScriptObject => object The above conversions occur only if the declared ObjC type is an object type. For primitive type like int and char, a numeric cast is performed. */ @interface NSObject (WebScripting) /*! @method webScriptNameForSelector: @param aSelector The selector that will be exposed to the script environment. @discussion Use the returned string as the exported name for the selector in the script environment.
