method

vm.SyntheticModule.evaluate

): Promise<void>;

Evaluate the module.

This must be called after the module has been linked; otherwise it will reject. It could be called also when the module has already been evaluated, in which case it will either do nothing if the initial evaluation ended in success (module.status is 'evaluated') or it will re-throw the exception that the initial evaluation resulted in (module.status is 'errored').

This method cannot be called while the module is being evaluated (module.status is 'evaluating').

Corresponds to the Evaluate() concrete method field of Cyclic Module Record s in the ECMAScript specification.

@returns

Fulfills with undefined upon success.

interface ModuleEvaluateOptions

breakOnSigint?: boolean
If true, the execution will be terminated when SIGINT (Ctrl+C) is received. Existing handlers for the event that have been attached via process.on('SIGINT') will be disabled during script execution, but will continue to work after that. If execution is terminated, an Error will be thrown.
timeout?: number
Specifies the number of milliseconds to execute code before terminating execution. If execution is terminated, an Error will be thrown. This value must be a strictly positive integer.
