Javascript/CoffeeScript bridge for RubyMotion apps

Usage

Include the lib file (I still haven't gemified it)

Call the rake task to initialize your javascript bridge:

rake js:init

Open resources/index.html and include any js you want.

Instantiate a JSController somewhere and load your html file.

@controller = JSController.new
@controller.load_html_file do
  ...
end

Now you can call javascript:

@controller.execute('1+1')
@controller.execute_async('foo()') do |result|
 #do stuff with your result here 
end

Stuff I need to do

Add better error handling, make it generally more robust. The JSController is just a day or two old and already needs some serious refactoring.

Stuff I still want to do

Make a better DSL for it. Add more rake tasks, incorporate CoffeeScript compilation and testing.

Careful

You probably shouldn't be using this in production yet. If you do, please send pull requests (believe me, there will be some)

Props

Thanks to @hendrikswan for the inspiration and a whole lot of code and lessons learned.
