Let's say we type the following piece
---------------
var
compressed_UInt8Array: TJSUint8Array;
begin
(* when we type (dot) to invoke the code completion, you see a lot of
methods / properties
uhh, there's a ugly underscore on the "_of" function, indeed it's an
external function.
*)
compressed_UInt8Array := TJSUint8Array.
---------------
Pas2JS can support for the "&" escape prefix to allow using reserved words
as identifiers.
If I prefix all "_" functions/methods in the JS.pas to "&" prefix, for
instance:
function &then (onAccepted : TJSPromiseResolver) : TJSPromise; external
name 'then';
function &finally(value : TJSPromiseFinallyHandler): TJSPromise;
class function &of(aValue : jsValue) : TJSFloat32Array; varargs;
Did you realize that the code completion will show the reserved word as
expected, it will display 'of' instead of '_of', but we still have the ugly
'&of' in the source code, of course the compiler will emit 'of'.
compressed_UInt8Array := TJSUint8Array.&of(1,2,3);
In the DWScript world, there's some magic, the compiler escape the "&"
prefix to allow using reserved words as identifiers! So, the compiler
understands something like this:
compressed_UInt8Array := TJSUint8Array.of(1,2,3);
or
defer
.then(doTask1)
.then(doTask2);
