Binding C# Classes to Javascript

[ghost]

I managed to find a solution that worked for me - so this is more of a question about the documentation.

Specifically - in the documentation I pasted below - it seems to be prescribing users of JINT to use SetValue(..) to bind a specific class or else use the javascript function:

importNamespace('<namespace>').

But, it seems like we don't actually need to "go into a javascript context" and instead we can just :

var namespaceName = "<some namespace>";
NamespaceReference namespaceReference = new NamespaceReference(engine, namespaceName);
engine.Realm.GlobalObject.Set(namespaceName, namespaceReference);

I'm not sure if there is some reason we shouldn't be binding the namespace this way (i.e. referencing the GlobalObject and just setting the namespace). If there isn't any reason we shouldn't be doing it this way - I'd recommend updating the documentation - since I think the more common use case for users would be to stay in a C# context for the binding of the namespace.

Here is the documentation I'm referencing:

When allowing the CLR, you can optionally pass custom assemblies to load types from.

var engine = new Engine(cfg => cfg
    .AllowClr(typeof(Bar).Assembly)
);
and then to assign local namespaces the same way System does it for you, use importNamespace

jint> var Foo = importNamespace('Foo');
jint> var bar = new Foo.Bar();
jint> log(bar.ToString());
adding a specific CLR type reference can be done like this

engine.SetValue("TheType", TypeReference.CreateTypeReference(engine, typeof(TheType)))
and used this way

jint> var o = new TheType();
