# What is this?
A simple tool that allows you to execute javascript in the command line as if you were in a browser. Built on-top of [PhantomJS](http://phantomjs.org/) and
acts as a well-behaved unix tool.

**Wait, isn't this just NodeJS? No, they are for different things. BooJS gives you the full DOM, you can call `document` in BooJS and import arbitrary browser javascript libraries.**

# Setup
```sh
#Setup
gem install boojs
```

# Usage
#### SYNOPSIS
```sh
boojs [-e statement] [-t timeout] [-v file] [file]
```

#### DESCRIPTION
The following options are available:
 * `-e` - Pass a javascript statement to execute after the file (if a file is provided) and then immediately terminate unless `-t` is set.
 * `-t` - Close the program after N seconds have passed, unless an exception is raised
 * `-v` - Verify that a file contains no javascript syntax errors. Returns 0 if there are no errors.

#### EXAMPLES
Open a javascript pipe that reads from stdin, writes via console.log to stdout, prints exceptions via stderr, and exits with a return code of 1 if there are errors.
```sh
(sh)>boojs
```

Same as `boojs` but read the javascript file before reading from stdin.  (i.e. preload a javascript file into your environment)
```sh
(sh)>boojs code.js
```

Execute a javascript statement, and then immediately exit. Exceptions will return 1.
```sh
(sh)>boojs -e "console.log(document);"
```

Execute a javascript statement, and then wait 4 seconds before exiting. Exceptions will return 1 and end execution early.
```sh
(sh)>boojs -e "console.log(document); -t 4"
```


Verify that a file contains no javascript runtime initialization errors
```sh
(sh)>boojs -v code.js
(sh)>echo $?
0
```
