External module "utils/eval/docs/types/index.d"

Export assignment evil

• evil(str: string): any

• Alias for eval global.

  Notes

  • A reference to eval is treated differently by the compiler. For example, when evaluating code containing block-scoped declarations (e.g., let, const, function, class), the compiler may throw an error complaining that block-scoped declarations are not yet supported outside of strict mode. One possible workaround is to include "use strict"; in the evaluated code.

  Parameters

  • str: string

    code to evaluate

  Returns any

  returned value if applicable

  Example

  var v = evil( '5*4*3*2*1' );
  // returns 120
