Write a file `lib/sayhello.js` ```js // lib/sayhello.js function say() { console.log("hello"); } exports.say = say; exports.VERSIONINFO = "SayHello Library (sayhello.js) version 0.1"; exports.AUTHOR = "abuse@catswords.net"; // e.g. YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS exports.global = global; exports.require = global.require; ``` ### 2. Write a file `sayhello.js` ```js // sayhello.js var SayHello = require("lib/sayhello"); function main() { console.log("calling say()"); SayHello.say(); console.log("ended say()"); } exports.main = main; ``` ### 3. Execute file on the command prompt ```cmd C:\Users\knh94\Documents\GitHub\welsonjs> cscript app.js sayhello calling say() hello ended say() ``` ## How to release my application? The WelsonJS framework suggests the following application release methods: - **Compress to Zip, and use the launcher**: Compress the files and directories necessary for running the project into a Zip file, and distribute it along with the [WelsonJS.Launcher](https://catswords-oss.rdbl.io/5719744820/4131485779). - **Build a setup file**: Use [Inno Setup](https://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php). Information needed to create the setup file (the `setup.iss` file) is already included. - **Copy all directories and files**: This is the simplest and most straightforward method. ## Screenshots ![(Screenshot 1) GUI environment](https://ics.catswords.net/screenshot.png) ![(Screenshot 2) Command-line environment](https://ics.catswords.net/screenshot2.png) ![(Screenshot 3) WelsonJS with Microsoft Excel](https://ics.catswords.net/screenshot3.png) ![(Screenshot 4) Write a Windows Services with JavaScript](https://ics.catswords.net/screenshot4.png) ![(Screenshot 5) Template Matching on the computer screen](https://ics.catswords.net/screenshot5.png) ![(Screenshot 6) The Launcher for WelsonJS Application Packages](https://ics.catswords.net/screenshot6.png) ## Thanks to - Heavy-industry specialized CSP(Cloud Service Provider) in Republic of Korea - Use case establishment - Live-commerce specialized online advertisement companies in Republic of Korea - Use case establishment - Information security companies in Republic of Korea - Use case establishment - :eyes: Facebook Group Javascript Programming (javascript4u) - [Mentioned](https://www.facebook.com/javascript4u/posts/build-a-windows-desktop-apps-with-javascript-html-and-cssmorioh-javascript-html-/1484014618472735/) - :eyes: morioh.com - [Mentioned](https://morioh.com/a/23c427a82bf1/build-a-windows-desktop-apps-with-javascript-html-and-css) - :eyes: CSDN - Mentioned - :eyes: Qiita - Knowledge-base about WSH environment - :eyes: Redsky Software - PoC(Proof of Concept) of the CommonJS on WSH environment - Inspired by a small-sized JavaScript payload demonstrated by a cybersecurity related group. - Inspired by the use of Named Shared Memory in an inter-language IPC implementation devised by an unidentified developer. - :eyes: Fediverse - Mentioned - :eyes: Hacker News - [Mentioned](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41316782) - :eyes: WebToolsWeekly - [Mentioned](https://webtoolsweekly.com/archives/issue-585/) ## Related links - [gnh1201/wsh-js-gtk](https://github.com/gnh1201/wsh-js-gtk) - GTK GUI ported to Windows Scripting Host - Javascript (Microsoft JScript) (wsh-js) - [gnh1201/wsh-json](https://github.com/gnh1201/wsh-json) - JSON stringify/parse (encode/decode) for Windows Scripting Host - [redskyit/wsh-appjs](https://github.com/redskyit/wsh-appjs) - require-js and app framework for Windows Scripting Host JavaScript - [JohnLaTwC's gist](https://gist.github.com/JohnLaTwC/4315bbbd89da0996f5c08c032b391799) - JavaScript RAT - [JSMan-/JS-Framework](https://github.com/JSMan-/JS-Framework) - No description - [iconjack/setTimeout-for-windows-script-host](https://github.com/iconjack/setTimeout-for-windows-script-host) - Replacement for the missing setTimeout and clearTimeout function in Windows Script Host - [johnjohnsp1/WindowsScriptHostExtension](https://github.com/johnjohnsp1/WindowsScriptHostExtension) - Inject DLL Prototype using Microsoft.Windows.ACTCTX COM Object - [kuntashov/jsunit](https://github.com/kuntashov/jsunit) - JSUnit port for Windows Scripting Host - [nickdoth/WSHHttpServer](https://github.com/nickdoth/WSHHttpServer) - HTTP server based on Windows Script Host - FOSSA report [HTML](https://ics.catswords.net/fossa_report.html) [CSV](https://ics.catswords.net/fossa_report.csv) [TXT](https://ics.catswords.net/fossa_report.txt) - [License attributions of a stock images](https://policy.catswords.social/stock_images.html) ## Report abuse - [GitHub Security Advisories](https://github.com/gnh1201/welsonjs/security) - abuse@catswords.net - ActivityPub [@catswords_oss@catswords.social](https://catswords.social/@catswords_oss) - XMPP [catswords@conference.xmpp.catswords.net](xmpp:catswords@conference.xmpp.catswords.net?join) - [Join Catswords on Microsoft Teams](https://teams.live.com/l/community/FEACHncAhq8ldnojAI) ## License [![FOSSA Status](https://app.fossa.com/api/projects/git%2Bgithub.com%2Fgnh1201%2Fwelsonjs.svg?type=large)](https://app.fossa.com/projects/git%2Bgithub.com%2Fgnh1201%2Fwelsonjs?ref=badge_large)
