Rhai standard library.

[LordMZTE]

There currently seems to be no plugin/library that allows giving rhai scripts full system access by allowing them to do things like spawning subprocesses or doing filesystem operations. Is something like this planned as an optional feature or has someone already made this as a seperate crate?

[schungx]

Not really. It was originally planned but nobody sorta got around to it...

In fact, the entire Rhai plugins system was originally written just so that such a sys library could be developed...

When I chose the script engine, I found that there is a standard module. We can learn from it

rune_modules

[schungx]

It is true. It does leave something to be desired.

I agree that having a basic standard module is a quite urgent need.

Jazz's standard fs library and fs-extras library are adequate for Jazz Flute, the standard application framework. The other crates that are integrated by default in the scripting environment can also be found in the bindings directory.

rhai's RandomPackage makes it look pretty easy to integrate with Jazz.

@dankope has indicated that he'd work on this... let me see if this mention is enough to assign this issue to him...

EDIT: Hmmm.... looks like no. @dankope, would you make a comment here so I can assign you?

Should be able to assign me now, hopefully.
