🎉 sablejs 2.0 will be opening all the code, please click to learn more about our milestone and goals.

English | 简体中文

The safer and faster ECMA5.1 interpreter written by JavaScript, it can be used:

  1. Sandbox (like Figma Plugin Sandbox, but better and easier to use);
  2. Protect JavaScript source code via AOT compiling to opcode.

sablejs covered ~95% test262 es5-tests cases, it can be safely used in production.

Quick Start

sablejs includes the Compiler and Interpreter independently, so we removed the related dynamic api from the spec (see Limits 1). In short, you need to compile your JavaScript code with sablejs cli before you run it.

Example

Suppose we have the following code in fib.js:

function fib(n) {
  return n < 2 ? n : fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
}

var start = Date.now();
console.log("[INFO] fib: " + fib(30));
console.log("[INFO] time consuming: " + (Date.now() - start) + "ms");

Compile It!

> npm i sablejs -g
> sablejs -i fib.js -o output # get output file that contains base64 string

sablejs cli includes the following commands:

Usage: sablejs [options]

Options:
  -v, --vers           output the current version
  -i, --input <path>   compile input filepath
  -o, --output <path>  compile output filepath
  -j  --json           don't do Base64 compress, output simple json result
  -s, --slient         don't output log
  -h, --help

Run It!

> npm install sablejs --save

or you can import to your html directly

Limits

  1. Dynamic execution by eval and Function is forbidden, but passing literal string/number/null and undefined is allowed (the interpreter doesn't contain any compiler).
eval("print('Hello World!')"); // it's ok
eval("var " + "a=1"); // it's ok

var str = "Hello World!";
eval("print('" + str + "')"); // throw SyntaxError

Function("a", "b", "return a+b"); // it's ok
new Function("a", "b", "return a+b"); // it's ok

var str = "return a+b";
Function("a", "b", str); // throw SyntaxError
new Function("a", "b", str); // throw SyntaxError
  1. The browser environment relies on native browser functions such as btoa / unescape / decodeURIComponent, etc. if you need support for IE9 or below, you need to add shims.
