tcl

node-tcl

Node.js Tcl bindings to execute Tcl commands using a native Tcl Interpreter.

Installation

Prerequisites : You will need to have tcl-dev packages installed on your system (e.g. sudo apt-get install tcl-dev) for the Node.js native addon to link to.

$ npm install --save tcl

Usage

You can execute any Tcl command that is supported by the Tcl shell (tchsh) and you can even load native Tcl modeles (load module.so), source scripts (source filename.tcl) and source Tcl libraries (package require name).

Note : Only the synchronous commands preserve states from one call to another. Asynchronous commands are executed in a separate thread using a new Tcl Interpreter instance for each call.

var tcl = require( 'tcl' );

console.log( tcl.version() );
console.log( tcl.cmdSync( 'info tclversion' ) );

tcl.cmd( 'info tclversion', function ( err, result ) {
	console.log( result.data() );
} );

tcl.cmd( 'info commands', function ( err, result ) {
	console.log( result.toArray() );
} );
