01/12/2017 BaristaCore is currently in active development. The functionality described below indicates the design goals of BaristaCore and may not be all currently implemented.

Updated with ChakraCore 1.8.1

Provides a sandboxed JavaScript runtime natively to a .Net Standard 2.0 application on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Applications can expose custom modules and types written in .Net code to the runtime, making it useful for providing a rules engine or other scripted capabilities that interact with existing managed libraries.

The underlying JavaScript runtime is Chakra, the JavaScript engine that powers Microsoft Edge, allowing for a fully managed, latest standards compliant, performant and well sandboxed JavaScript-based scripting environment.

The BaristaCore package comes with an extensions library that enables hybrid .net functionality, such as on-the-fly transpilation between TypeScript and JavaScript, server-side rendering via React/React-Dom-Server and more.

Additionally, BaristaCore comes with a set of WebAPI middleware, allowing an application to provide a Functions-as-a-Service platform where scripts, stored as content, can be used to power web-based applications.

BaristaCore is available on NuGet and can be simply added to any dotnet standard 2.0 application. It can be found as a cross-platform .Net Standard 2.0 NuGet Package here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/BaristaCore/
