Also note there are bindings to nodejs for js_of_ocaml [1] developped by Edgar Aroutiounian. I have not checked if the functions you need are in there, but if they're not, you could contribute them to this project.

Hope that helps,

philippe.

Hi Helmut,

I am a js_of_ocaml beginner, but it sounds like you could do it using :

Js.Unsafe.fun_call (Js.Unsafe.js_expr "readdirSync") [| .. args , wrapped with Js.Unsafe.inject .. |]

You can look at the docs at https://ocsigen.org/js_of_ocaml/2.8.3/manual/bindings, especially under
"Binding a JS function", where there is an example with the function "decodeURI".

Cheers!

Best wishes,
Nicolas

Hello List,

I am trying to use js_of_ocaml to compile my ocaml project for the nodejs ecosystem. Since js_of_ocaml does not compile calls to the 'unix' library I have to call some javascript functions directly from ocaml. All I need is to be able to call the javascript functions

- readdirSync
- mkdirSync
- rmdirSync
- statSync

and receive the results in ocaml.

I have looked into the documentation and into the examples, but I have not found a way on how to do this. All examples are for use in the browser. Maybe its a stupid question and it is so simple that I, as a beginner in js_of_ocaml, just don't see it.

Can anybody give me a hint? Thanks in advance.

Regards
Helmut
