Using foreign objects in R

[rbotafogo]

Hello,

I know I have seen the documentation on how to access foreign objects from R, for instance, how to access a Ruby object from R. I remember something like foreign_object$method(...) would work, but I can't find this documentation any more. Can you please provide me with the link to it? And maybe make it accessible from the R docs in graalvm?

Thanks!

Hello Rodrigo,

there is a section on interoperability, but what you mention is not documented there in detail. We will improve it. Most of the time we try to match what would seem "natural". Few examples on top of my head:

• foreign_object$foo(...) - invoke method "foo" of object "foreign_object"
• foreign_object[index] - read array element(s)
• foreign_function(...) - execute foreign function
• foreign_object$bar - read field bar of object "foreign_object"

Thanks Stepan,

I´ll go with, but I´m pretty sure having seen some docs somewhere. Maybe some hard to find links that could just be made more explicit. Anyway, I guess most of the info is in your answer.
