<pre class="api_stability_2">Stability: 2 - Unstable. See Caveats, below.</pre><!--name=vm-->

<p>You can access this module with:

</p>
<pre><code>var vm = require(&#39;vm&#39;);</code></pre>
<p>JavaScript code can be compiled and run immediately or compiled, saved, and run later.

</p>
<h2>Caveats<span><a class="mark" href="#vm_caveats" id="vm_caveats">#</a></span></h2>
<p>The <code>vm</code> module has many known issues and edge cases. If you run into
issues or unexpected behavior, please consult <a href="https://github.com/joyent/node/issues?labels=vm&amp;state=open">the open issues on
GitHub</a>.
Some of the biggest problems are described below.

</p>
<h3>Sandboxes<span><a class="mark" href="#vm_sandboxes" id="vm_sandboxes">#</a></span></h3>
<p>The <code>sandbox</code> argument to <code>vm.runInNewContext</code> and <code>vm.createContext</code>,
along with the <code>initSandbox</code> argument to <code>vm.createContext</code>, do not
behave as one might normally expect and their behavior varies
between different versions of Node.

</p>
<p>The key issue to be aware of is that V8 provides no way to directly
control the global object used within a context. As a result, while
properties of your <code>sandbox</code> object will be available in the context,
any properties from the <code>prototype</code>s of the <code>sandbox</code> may not be
available. Furthermore, the <code>this</code> expression within the global scope
of the context evaluates to the empty object (<code>{}</code>) instead of to
your sandbox.

</p>
<p>Your sandbox&#39;s properties are also not shared directly with the script.
Instead, the properties of the sandbox are copied into the context at
the beginning of execution, and then after execution, the properties
are copied back out in an attempt to propagate any changes.

</p>
<h3>Globals<span><a class="mark" href="#vm_globals" id="vm_globals">#</a></span></h3>
<p>Properties of the global object, like <code>Array</code> and <code>String</code>, have
different values inside of a context. This means that common
expressions like <code>[] instanceof Array</code> or
<code>Object.getPrototypeOf([]) === Array.prototype</code> may not produce
expected results when used inside of scripts evaluated via the <code>vm</code> module.

</p>
<p>Some of these problems have known workarounds listed in the issues for
<code>vm</code> on GitHub. for example, <code>Array.isArray</code> works around
the example problem with <code>Array</code>.

<h2>vm.runInThisContext(code, [filename])<span><a class="mark" href="#vm_vm_runinthiscontext_code_filename" id="vm_vm_runinthiscontext_code_filename">#</a></span></h2>
<p><code>vm.runInThisContext()</code> compiles <code>code</code>, runs it and returns the result. Running
code does not have access to local scope. <code>filename</code> is optional, it&#39;s used only
in stack traces.

</p>
<p>Example of using <code>vm.runInThisContext</code> and <code>eval</code> to run the same code:

</p>
<pre><code>var localVar = 123,
    usingscript, evaled,
    vm = require(&#39;vm&#39;);

usingscript = vm.runInThisContext(&#39;localVar = 1;&#39;,
  &#39;myfile.vm&#39;);
console.log(&#39;localVar: &#39; + localVar + &#39;, usingscript: &#39; +
  usingscript);
evaled = eval(&#39;localVar = 1;&#39;);
console.log(&#39;localVar: &#39; + localVar + &#39;, evaled: &#39; +
  evaled);

// localVar: 123, usingscript: 1
// localVar: 1, evaled: 1</code></pre>
<p><code>vm.runInThisContext</code> does not have access to the local scope, so <code>localVar</code> is unchanged.
<code>eval</code> does have access to the local scope, so <code>localVar</code> is changed.

</p>
<p>In case of syntax error in <code>code</code>, <code>vm.runInThisContext</code> emits the syntax error to stderr
and throws an exception.

<h2>vm.runInNewContext(code, [sandbox], [filename])<span><a class="mark" href="#vm_vm_runinnewcontext_code_sandbox_filename" id="vm_vm_runinnewcontext_code_sandbox_filename">#</a></span></h2>
<p><code>vm.runInNewContext</code> compiles <code>code</code>, then runs it in <code>sandbox</code> and returns the
result. Running code does not have access to local scope. The object <code>sandbox</code>
will be used as the global object for <code>code</code>.
<code>sandbox</code> and <code>filename</code> are optional, <code>filename</code> is only used in stack traces.

</p>
<p>Example: compile and execute code that increments a global variable and sets a new one.
These globals are contained in the sandbox.

</p>
<pre><code>var util = require(&#39;util&#39;),
    vm = require(&#39;vm&#39;),
    sandbox = {
      animal: &#39;cat&#39;,
      count: 2
    };

vm.runInNewContext(&#39;count += 1; name = &quot;kitty&quot;&#39;, sandbox, &#39;myfile.vm&#39;);
console.log(util.inspect(sandbox));

// { animal: &#39;cat&#39;, count: 3, name: &#39;kitty&#39; }</code></pre>
<p>Note that running untrusted code is a tricky business requiring great care.  To prevent accidental
global variable leakage, <code>vm.runInNewContext</code> is quite useful, but safely running untrusted code
requires a separate process.

and throws an exception.

<p><code>vm.runInContext</code> compiles <code>code</code>, then runs it in <code>context</code> and returns the

for <code>code</code>.
<code>filename</code> is optional, it&#39;s used only in stack traces.

<p>Note that <code>createContext</code> will perform a shallow clone of the supplied sandbox object in order to
initialize the global object of the freshly constructed context.

<h2>vm.createContext([initSandbox])<span><a class="mark" href="#vm_vm_createcontext_initsandbox" id="vm_vm_createcontext_initsandbox">#</a></span></h2>
<p><code>vm.createContext</code> creates a new context which is suitable for use as the 2nd argument of a subsequent
call to <code>vm.runInContext</code>. A (V8) context comprises a global object together with a set of
build-in objects and functions. The optional argument <code>initSandbox</code> will be shallow-copied
to seed the initial contents of the global object used by the context.

</p>
<h2>vm.createScript(code, [filename])<span><a class="mark" href="#vm_vm_createscript_code_filename" id="vm_vm_createscript_code_filename">#</a></span></h2>
<p><code>createScript</code> compiles <code>code</code> but does not run it. Instead, it returns a
<code>vm.Script</code> object representing this compiled code. This script can be run
later many times using methods below. The returned script is not bound to any
global object. It is bound before each run, just for that run. <code>filename</code> is
optional, it&#39;s only used in stack traces.

<h3>script.runInThisContext()<span><a class="mark" href="#vm_script_runinthiscontext" id="vm_script_runinthiscontext">#</a></span></h3>
<p>Similar to <code>vm.runInThisContext</code> but a method of a precompiled <code>Script</code> object.
<code>script.runInThisContext</code> runs the code of <code>script</code> and returns the result.
Running code does not have access to local scope, but does have access to the <code>global</code> object
(v8: in actual context).

</p>
<p>Example of using <code>script.runInThisContext</code> to compile code once and run it multiple times:

</p>
<pre><code>var vm = require(&#39;vm&#39;);

globalVar = 0;

var script = vm.createScript(&#39;globalVar += 1&#39;, &#39;myfile.vm&#39;);

for (var i = 0; i &lt; 1000 ; i += 1) {
  script.runInThisContext();

console.log(globalVar);

// 1000</code></pre>

<p>Similar to <code>vm.runInNewContext</code> a method of a precompiled <code>Script</code> object.
<code>script.runInNewContext</code> runs the code of <code>script</code> with <code>sandbox</code> as the global object and returns the result.
Running code does not have access to local scope. <code>sandbox</code> is optional.

</p>
<p>Example: compile code that increments a global variable and sets one, then execute this code multiple times.

var script = vm.createScript(&#39;count += 1; name = &quot;kitty&quot;&#39;, &#39;myfile.vm&#39;);
