dotnet core compatibility

[ciel]

Is there any plan to update the references for JINT to be compatible with the new .NET Core system?

[sebastienros]

It's there, use the dnx branch. At some point I will make a single project targeting all platforms, but I am waiting for the platform support story to be final.

Thank you so much for making this wonderful library. I'm so excited to see it is still being supported and worked on.

We'd love to use Jint in a .NET Core project! Are there any updates to this now that it's officially released?

[ciel]

Yeah, I'm also looking forward to it.

[ciel]

Is it at least possible to use Jint with a net451 import?

[sebastienros]

If you can't wait RavenDb has ported it already to Core. It would have been better they contribute to this repository directly, but they might have other constraints.

[ciel]

How can we help? Which branch is the one currently being worked on for dot net core compatibility?

[sebastienros]

I just created a netcore branch. Feel free to work on the migration and target this branch.

[sebastienros]

Targeting a specific branch will let me accept PRs from different committers even if there are issues.

Hi. I've just finished porting Jint to NetStandard 1.0 and it's currntly passing all tests except for CommonScripts.ThreeDRayTrace (and I don't really know what's happening).

The bulk of the work has been replacing many changed or non-existent methods of System.Reflection

It's in pull request #337. This is my secound github contribution and I'm not reallly used to git and pull requests and stuff yet, so if I've made any mistake just tell me and I'll try to fix it.

[sebastienros]

Done, and it's on Nuget. Targets PCL, Net Standard 1.3 and .NET 45. Thanks @darkcamper for your help.

I don't think my contribution has been really useful 😅 . Thanks for sorting out everything and releasing it so quickly! (I'll make a good use of it)

[sebastienros]

It's called motivation.
