Pass values to jailed code

[scattered]

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but how do I go about passing an object of key / value pairs to the jailed code?

For example, if I had something like:

{
  firstName: John,
  lastName: Doe
}

How would I go about accessing firstName and lastName within plugin.js? My original guess was that I'd add the object to the 2nd property of jailed.Plugin(pathToPlugin, { scope: { firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Doe' } }) but it didn't work.

I looked at the web-banner example in the repo, but the bad / good image names are hardcoded into plugin.js. I need those values to be dynamic.

I'm using the dynamic plugin so YMMV but what I do is have my script export a function called run that then the host calls. Something like this:

import { DynamicPlugin as sandbox } from 'jailed'

const boilerplate = `
  application.setInterface({
    // Function called by app to start script
    run: async (data, done) => {
      .... script to run ....

      done()
    }
  })
`

const process = new sandbox(boilerplate, callbacks)

return new Promise(resolve => {
  process.whenConnected(()=> {
    process.remote.run({ ...data to pass.... }, resolve)
  })
})

You could also just serialize the data and embed in your dynamic script.

Thanks for the example. It looks to be working.

Serializing the data was my first thought, but thought there should be a better solution (such as what you provided).

Thanks again.
