Context

File v8pp/context.hpp contains v8pp::context class that simplifies V8 embedding and maintains custom plugins registry. The v8pp::context usage is optional.

Constructor of v8pp::context has following optional arguments:

• v8::Isolate* isolate = nullptr: create a new one if nullptr with a v8pp::context::create_isolate() helper function
• v8::ArrayBuffer::Allocator* allocator = nullptr: use a predefined malloc/free allocator if nullptr
• v8::Local<v8::ObjectTemplate> global = <empty>: use a custom global template if not empty
• add_default_global_methods = true: add these functions to the global JavaScript object:
  • require(filename) - load a plugin module from filename
  • run(filename) - run a JavaScript code from file
• enter_context = true: enter the created context

Context class also supports binding of C++ classes and functions into the global object similar to v8pp::module
