I’ve mentioned the iOS JavascriptCore framework – the framework allowing you to directly utilize the same Javascript engine for WebKit. Previously I pointed out a simple example, and a library to simplify working with JavascriptCore.
Here’s a step-by-step tutorial from Joseph Dixon that provides details on the basics of using JavascriptCore on the iOS platform in which you’ll build a simple contact management app using both Javascript and Objective-C.
Specifically you’ll learn how to:
– Get a JavascriptCore context (JSContext)
– Define and call Javascript functions
– Call your Objective-C code from Javascript
– Work with the JSContext of a UIWebView
You can find the tutorial over on the Big Nerd Ranch blog.
Example code on using JavascriptCore on iOS for the tutorial can be found on Github here.
