Using DOM in microStudio

Hello everyone, tell me, has anyone already tried using DOM in microStudio? How is this done?

In MicroScript you generally can't use DOM elements from the browser, even objects like screen are an interface to the actual element in JavaScript that has access to the DOM.

This is to make the whole MicroScript user-friendly and portable (different browsers have different compliance with the official HTML/javascript specification).

However, there is a hack that allows you to manipulate elements below MicroScript (MicroScript is the highest level, below that is the JavaScript code responsible for interpreting MicroScript, below that is pure JavaScript).

In MicroScript code you use a call to the JavaScript code like this

get_canvas = function()
   system.javascript("""
      global.canvas = window.player.runtime.screen.canvas
      global.context = global.canvas.getContext("2d")
   """)
end

You can also combine MicroScript and JavaScript code. To do this

• create a new module/file
• in the first line write // javascript (after the comment characters)
• all code in this file will be treated as JavaScript code
• thanks to this you have access to all global variables in JavaScript.

file >> name_abcdef

// javscript

global.window = window;

file >> main

init = function()
   print( window )
end

Now you have access to the window variable, and if you can create an HTML element from the JavaScript code, you have access to the DOM.

Yeah, it's going to be hard...

Thanks, I'll experiment with it.

I just want to make a number of user interface elements that are either difficult or impossible to do with what is available now, for example, typing text like in a browser

By the way, microScript is the least interesting to me at this stage, I want to do it at least with the help of JS

Are there any other options to make a normal user interface?
