Detailed Description

A FunctionTemplate is used to create functions at runtime. There can only be one function created from a FunctionTemplate in a context. The lifetime of the created function is equal to the lifetime of the context. So in case the embedder needs to create temporary functions that can be collected using Scripts is preferred.

Any modification of a FunctionTemplate after first instantiation will trigger a crash.

A FunctionTemplate can have properties, these properties are added to the function object when it is created.

A FunctionTemplate has a corresponding instance template which is used to create object instances when the function is used as a constructor. Properties added to the instance template are added to each object instance.

A FunctionTemplate can have a prototype template. The prototype template is used to create the prototype object of the function.

The following example shows how to use a FunctionTemplate:

v8::Local<v8::FunctionTemplate> t = v8::FunctionTemplate::New(isolate);
t->Set(isolate, "func_property", v8::Number::New(isolate, 1));
v8::Local<v8::Template> proto_t = t->PrototypeTemplate();
proto_t->Set(isolate,
             "proto_method",
             v8::FunctionTemplate::New(isolate, InvokeCallback));
proto_t->Set(isolate, "proto_const", v8::Number::New(isolate, 2));
v8::Local<v8::ObjectTemplate> instance_t = t->InstanceTemplate();
instance_t->SetAccessor(String::NewFromUtf8(isolate, "instance_accessor"),
                        InstanceAccessorCallback);
instance_t->SetHandler(
    NamedPropertyHandlerConfiguration(PropertyHandlerCallback));
instance_t->Set(String::NewFromUtf8(isolate, "instance_property"),
                Number::New(isolate, 3));
v8::Local<v8::Function> function = t->GetFunction();
v8::Local<v8::Object> instance = function->NewInstance();

Let's use "function" as the JS variable name of the function object and "instance" for the instance object created above. The function and the instance will have the following properties:

func_property in function == true;
function.func_property == 1;
function.prototype.proto_method() invokes 'InvokeCallback'
function.prototype.proto_const == 2;
instance instanceof function == true;
instance.instance_accessor calls 'InstanceAccessorCallback'
instance.instance_property == 3;

A FunctionTemplate can inherit from another one by calling the FunctionTemplate::Inherit method. The following graph illustrates the semantics of inheritance:

FunctionTemplate Parent  -> Parent() . prototype -> { }
  ^                                                  ^
  | Inherit(Parent)                                  | .__proto__
  |                                                  |
FunctionTemplate Child   -> Child()  . prototype -> { }

A FunctionTemplate 'Child' inherits from 'Parent', the prototype object of the Child() function has proto pointing to the Parent() function's prototype object. An instance of the Child function has all properties on Parent's instance templates.

Let Parent be the FunctionTemplate initialized in the previous section and create a Child FunctionTemplate by:

Local<FunctionTemplate> parent = t;
Local<FunctionTemplate> child = FunctionTemplate::New();
child->Inherit(parent);
Local<Function> child_function = child->GetFunction();
Local<Object> child_instance = child_function->NewInstance();

The Child function and Child instance will have the following properties:

child_func.prototype.__proto__ == function.prototype;
child_instance.instance_accessor calls 'InstanceAccessorCallback'
child_instance.instance_property == 3;

Member Function Documentation

◆ Cast()

FunctionTemplate * Cast ( Data * data )

static

Definition at line 11215 of file v8.h.

◆ FromSnapshot()

static MaybeLocal<FunctionTemplate> FromSnapshot	(	Isolate *	isolate,
		size_t	index
	)

static

Get a template included in the snapshot by index.

◆ GetFunction()

V8_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT MaybeLocal<Function> GetFunction ( Local< Context > context )

Returns the unique function instance in the current execution context.

◆ HasInstance()

bool HasInstance ( Local< Value > object )

Returns true if the given object is an instance of this function template.

◆ Inherit()

void Inherit ( Local< FunctionTemplate > parent )

Causes the function template to inherit from a parent function template. This means the function's prototype.__proto__ is set to the parent function's prototype.

◆ InstanceTemplate()

Local<ObjectTemplate> InstanceTemplate ( )

Get the InstanceTemplate.

◆ New()

static Local<FunctionTemplate> New	(	Isolate *	isolate,
		FunctionCallback	callback = `nullptr`,
		Local< Value >	data = `Local< Value >()`,
		Local< Signature >	signature = `Local< Signature >()`,
		int	length = `0`,
		ConstructorBehavior	behavior = `ConstructorBehavior::kAllow`,
		SideEffectType	side_effect_type = `SideEffectType::kHasSideEffect`
	)

static

Creates a function template.

◆ NewRemoteInstance()

V8_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT MaybeLocal<Object> NewRemoteInstance ( )

Similar to Context::NewRemoteContext, this creates an instance that isn't backed by an actual object.

The InstanceTemplate of this FunctionTemplate must have access checks with handlers installed.

◆ NewWithCache()

static Local<FunctionTemplate> NewWithCache	(	Isolate *	isolate,
		FunctionCallback	callback,
		Local< Private >	cache_property,
		Local< Value >	data = `Local< Value >()`,
		Local< Signature >	signature = `Local< Signature >()`,
		int	length = `0`,
		SideEffectType	side_effect_type = `SideEffectType::kHasSideEffect`
	)

static

Creates a function template backed/cached by a private property.

◆ PrototypeTemplate()

Local<ObjectTemplate> PrototypeTemplate ( )

A PrototypeTemplate is the template used to create the prototype object of the function created by this template.

◆ ReadOnlyPrototype()

void ReadOnlyPrototype ( )

Sets the ReadOnly flag in the attributes of the 'prototype' property of functions created from this FunctionTemplate to true.

◆ RemovePrototype()

void RemovePrototype ( )

Removes the prototype property from functions created from this FunctionTemplate.

◆ SetAcceptAnyReceiver()

void SetAcceptAnyReceiver ( bool value )

When set to true, no access check will be performed on the receiver of a function call. Currently defaults to true, but this is subject to change.

◆ SetCallHandler()

void SetCallHandler	(	FunctionCallback	callback,
		Local< Value >	data = `Local< Value >()`,
		SideEffectType	side_effect_type = `SideEffectType::kHasSideEffect`
	)

Set the call-handler callback for a FunctionTemplate. This callback is called whenever the function created from this FunctionTemplate is called.

◆ SetClassName()

void SetClassName ( Local< String > name )

Set the class name of the FunctionTemplate. This is used for printing objects created with the function created from the FunctionTemplate as its constructor.

◆ SetLength()

void SetLength ( int length )

Set the predefined length property for the FunctionTemplate.

◆ SetPrototypeProviderTemplate()

void SetPrototypeProviderTemplate ( Local< FunctionTemplate > prototype_provider )

A PrototypeProviderTemplate is another function template whose prototype property is used for this template. This is mutually exclusive with setting a prototype template indirectly by calling PrototypeTemplate() or using Inherit().
