JSPatch bridges Objective-C and JavaScript using the Objective-C runtime. You can call any Objective-C class and method in JavaScript by just including a small engine. That makes the APP obtaining the power of script language: add modules or replacing Objective-C code to fix bugs dynamically.
JSPatch is still in development, welcome to improve the project together.

});You can also try to use JSPatch Convertor to convertor code from Objective-C to JavaScript automatically.
CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C, which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries like JSPatch in your projects. See the "Getting Started" guide for more information.

####defineClass You can redefine an existing class and override methods.
// OC
@implementation JPTableViewController
...
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NSString *content = self.dataSource[[indexPath row]]; //may cause out of bound
JPViewController *ctrl = [[JPViewController alloc] initWithContent:content];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:ctrl];
}
- (NSArray *)dataSource
{
return @[@"JSPatch", @"is"];
}
- (void)customMethod
{
NSLog(@"callCustom method")
}
@end// JS
defineClass("JPTableViewController", {
// instance method definitions
tableView_didSelectRowAtIndexPath: function(tableView, indexPath) {
var row = indexPath.row()
if (self.dataSource().count() > row) { //fix the out of bound bug here
var content = self.dataSource().objectAtIndex(row);
var ctrl = JPViewController.alloc().initWithContent(content);
self.navigationController().pushViewController(ctrl);
}
},
dataSource: function() {
// get the original method by adding prefix 'ORIG'
var data = self.ORIGdataSource().toJS();
return data.push('Good!');
}
}, {})Go to wiki page for more details: Usage of defineClass
####Extensions
There are some extensions provide support for custom struct type, C methods and other functional, call +addExtensions: after starting engine to add extensions:
@implementation AppDelegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
[JPEngine startEngine];
//add extensions after startEngine
[JPEngine addExtensions:@[@"JPInclude", @"JPCGTransform"]];
NSString *sourcePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"demo" ofType:@"js"];
NSString *script = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:sourcePath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
[JPEngine evaluateScript:script];
}
@endinclude('test.js') //include function provide by JPInclude.m
var view = require('UIView').alloc().init()
//CGAffineTransform is supported in JPCGTransform.m
view.setTransform({a:1, b:0, c:0, d:1, tx:0, ty:100})Extensions can be added dynamiclly in JS, which is recommended:
require('JPEngine').addExtensions(['JPInclude', 'JPCGTransform'])
// `include()` and `CGAffineTransform` is avaliable now.You can create your own extension to support custom struct type and C methods in project, see the wiki page for more details: Adding new extensions
