6  CppBindingExample class:
7  This provides an example of how to use the CppBoundClass to create methods
8  and properties that can be exposed to JavaScript by an appropriately built
9  embedding client. It is also used by the CppBoundClass unit test.
10
11  Typically, a class intended to be bound to JavaScript will define a
12  constructor, any methods and properties to be exposed, and optionally a
13  destructor.  An embedding client can then bind the class to a JavaScript
14  object in a frame's window using the CppBoundClass::BindToJavascript() method,
15  generally called from the WebView delegate's WindowObjectCleared().
16
17  Once this class has been bound, say to the name "example", it might be called
18  from JavaScript in the following way:
19
20  <script>
21    if (window.example) {
22      document.writeln(example.echoValue(false));
23      document.writeln(example.echoType("Hello world!"));
24      document.writeln(example.plus(2, 3.1));
25
26      example.my_value = 15;
27      example.my_other_value = 2.1;
28      document.writeln(example.plus(example.my_value, example.my_other_value));
29    }
30  </script>
