Re: [xsl] Using saxon-js to run a javasscript function from XSLT at the command line

["Martynas Jusevičius martynas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This works (tested in https://martin-honnen.github.io/xslt3fiddle/),
but the JS function is inlined in the stylesheet.
Maybe you could use unparsed-text() to get the contents of the JS
file, and then ixsl:eval() them.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
  version="3.0"
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
  exclude-result-prefixes="#all"
  xmlns:ixsl="http://saxonica.com/ns/interactiveXSLT";
  xmlns:mf="http://example.org/my-functions";
  expand-text="yes">

  <xsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/>

  <xsl:template match="/" name="xsl:initial-template">
    <xsl:value-of select="mf:greet('World')"/>
  </xsl:template>

   <xsl:function name="mf:greet" as="xs:string">
    <xsl:param name="name" as="xs:string"/>

    <xsl:variable name="js-statement" as="xs:string" expand-text="no">
      <![CDATA[
      function greet(name) {
         return "Hello\, " + name + "!";
      }
      ]]>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable name="js-function"
select="ixsl:eval(normalize-space($js-statement))"/>
    <xsl:sequence select="ixsl:apply($js-function, [ $name ])"/>
  </xsl:function>

</xsl:stylesheet>
