Question: ScriptEngine.HostData #569

Closed dementcore closed 7 months ago

dementcore commented 7 months ago

Hi!

I have a doubt about ScriptEngine.HostData property. What is the intended form of using it??

Thanks!!!

ClearScriptLib commented 7 months ago

Hi @dementcore,

HostData allows the host application to associate arbitrary data with a script engine. The script engine does nothing with the property value except hold onto it on the application's behalf – something that could be useful in applications that manage multiple script engines.

Allowing the host to associate arbitrary data with library objects is a common API pattern.

Good luck!

Thanks for your answer!

There is a way to obtain the executing scriptengine when a host exposed method is invoked from script?

Yes, you can use ScriptEngine.Current.
