JS::ToPrimitive

This article covers features introduced in SpiderMonkey 45

Converts a JavaScript object to a primitive value, using the semantics of ToPrimitive.

Syntax

bool
JS::ToPrimitive(JSContext *cx, JS::HandleObject obj, JSType hint,
                JS::MutableHandleValue vp);
Name Type Description
cx JSContext * The context in which to perform the conversion. Requires request. In a JS_THREADSAFE build, the caller must be in a request on this JSContext.
obj JS::HandleObject The object to convert.
hint JSType The hint to pass to the ToPrimitive and @@toPrimitive method when converting the object. hint must be JSTYPE_STRING or JSTYPE_NUMBER to pass the corresponding type as a hint, or JSTYPE_VOID to pass no hint. Do not pass any other type.
vp JS::MutableHandleObject Out parameter. On success, *vp receives the converted value.

Description

JS::ToPrimitive converts a JavaScript object, obj, to a primitive value using ECMAScript 6 ToPrimitive.

On success, JS::ToPrimitive stores the converted value in *vp and returns true. On error or exception, it returns false, and the value left in *vp is undefined.
