Use 1D any runtime arrays in JavaScript app
This article provides an introduction to cross-technology handling of one-dimensional arrays. Data structures are one of the essential aspects of every piece of software. Any application constantly process various information, that very often require specific grouping and access strategies. This aspect is addressed by arrays and more advanced collection types. By using the Javonet framework, users gain ability to easily and effectively work with data structures originating from any runtime. Every array from any runtime is treated as reference.
Javonet allows you to reference and use modules or packages written in (Java/Kotlin/Groovy/Clojure, C#/VB.NET, Ruby, Perl, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript) like they were created in your technology. If have not yet created your first project check Javonet overview and quick start guides for your technology.
With Javonet you can interact with arrays from any runtime like they were available in JavaScript but invocation must be performed through Javonet SDK API.
Custom any runtime with arrays handling
With Javonet it is possible to reference any custom any runtime and interact with arrays declared on types defined within that module almost the same as with any other JavaScript library.
Snippet below represents the sample code from any runtime that has methods which return or process the arrays:
Select technology of module you want to use:
Javonet SDK contains various methods to interact with arrays and consume the results in JavaScript:
Get element from any runtime 1D array in JavaScript application
Select technology of module you want to use:
In the snippet above, get1DArray method is used to get reference to 1D array from any runtime. Method getIndex is used to get element from the array.
Set element from any runtime 1D array in JavaScript application
Select technology of module you want to use:
In the snippet above, get1DArray method is used to get reference to 1D array from any runtime. Method setIndex is used to set element of the 1D array. First argument is index, second argument is new value.
Get size and rank of any runtime 1D array in JavaScript application
Select technology of module you want to use:
In the snippet above, get1DArray method is used to get reference to 1D array from any runtime. Method getSize is used to get number of elements of the array.
The same operation can be performed remotely by just changing the new Runtime Context invocation from in memory to tcp that will create and interact with your any runtime objects on any remote node, container or service that hosts Javonet Code Gateway. This way you can preserve the same logic in your application and instantly switch between monolithic and microservices architecture without the need to implement the integration layer based on web services or other remote invocation methods.
