See \texttt{basis.urs} for details. The usual HTML5 syntax for these attributes is supported by the Ur/Web parser as syntactic sugar. One last useful function is for aborting any page generation, returning some XML as an error message. This function takes the place of some uses of a general exception mechanism. $$\begin{array}{l} @@ -2396,7 +2398,7 @@ The currently supported task kinds are: \end{itemize} -\section{The Foreign Function Interface} +\section{\label{ffi}The Foreign Function Interface} It is possible to call your own C and JavaScript code from Ur/Web applications, via the foreign function interface (FFI). The starting point for a new binding is a \texttt{.urs} signature file that presents your external library as a single Ur/Web module (with no nested modules). Compilation conventions map the types and values that you use into C and/or JavaScript types and values. |
