JSManagedValue

A JSManagedValue object wraps a JSValue object, adding “conditional retain” behavior to provide automatic memory management of values. The primary use case for a managed value is to store a JavaScript value in an Objective-C or Swift object that is itself exported to JavaScript.

Overview

A managed value’s “conditional retain” behavior ensures that its underlying JavaScript value is retained as long as either of the following conditions is true:

  • The JavaScript value is reachable through the JavaScript object graph (that is, not subject to JavaScript garbage collection)

  • The JSManagedValue object is reachable through the Objective-C or Swift object graph, as reported to the JavaScriptCore virtual machine using the addManagedReference(_:withOwner:) method

However, if neither of these conditions are true, the managed value sets its value property to nil, releasing the underlying JSValue object.

Topics
