Sadly there's no example with enumindex on the jsthis docs page (

https://docs.cycling74.com/apiref/js/jsthis/

I've tried the following but it triggers a warning in the console : High Consistency: bad number:

var pitchmode = "High Consistency"; 
declareattribute({ name: "pitchmode", embed: 1, style: "enumindex", enumvals: ["High Speed", "High Quality", "High Consistency"] }); 

This modified version gives the same results: 

var pitchmode = 2; 
declareattribute({ name: "pitchmode", embed: 1, style: "enumindex", enumvals: ["High Speed", "High Quality", "High Consistency"] });

Is it possible to intercept an object's output with Javascript? It's easy to get data from an object in JS when there's a matching attribute. But what when the object outputs a message, especially a bang (when a sound has been played for instance) ? So far I haven't found an alternative to sending a cable back to my V8 object but isn't there an easier way? I ask especially because the object sending the information is created by script, so the connection should be rebuilt at each launch of the script.

Hello, I have a heavy typescript project, which is running on 

 and should be able to send midi data to Max directly via callbacks in main.js, which is read by node.script. As far as I know, node.script is capable of sending dictionaries in outlet, but I would actually prefer to send messages with pitch gate and velocity to synths directly, tied to global transport. Conceptually, how would I able to do that?

I'm generating objects in a patcher through JS (v8). I want to set their width with patching_rect.

let comment = subpatcher.newdefault(50, 20, "comment", "@patching_rect", 50, 20, 380, 20);

let end_obj = subpatcher.newdefault(x_pos, y_pos, "buffer~", end_name, "@samps", end_dur_samps, end_chans, "@patching_rect", x_pos, y_pos, 380, 20);

it results in @patching_rect displayed as an attribute in the object but without any influence on the real patching rectangle of the object.  Moving @patching_rect and its values just after "buffer" doesn't change anything.

Hello, my current node script implies polyphonic note output. The thing is it abundantly uses js timeout and generates notes asynchronously. So far it only capable to output strings of text as list of currently active ones, which should be turned to real midi notes with different sustains, pitches etc. I just want to figure out how would i generate real polyphonic midi output purely from the node.script object.

My way to get a buffer's SR in JS is to have an info~ object related to this buffer in the patcher, give it a scripting name and connect its leftmost output to a pattr object. Then I send a bang to the info~ object from the JS and use the "getvalueof" on the pattr object.

let sr = 44100;

function get_sr() {
	let info_object = thispatcher.getnamed("testbuf_info");
        let val = info_object.message("bang");
	let grabber = thispatcher.getnamed("testbuf_sr");
	sr = grabber.getvalueof();
	post("Buffer's samplerate is "+sr+" fps\n");
}

This gives me what I want but isn't there an easier way to achieve this? Maybe some methods could be added to JS buffer's object in a future update?

Hello,I am trying to create arrays of buffers within JS (v8).I have buffers named "start" and "end" in my patcher, both containing a sound,  and I want to make some copies of these buffers (only in JS, not in the patch) . Before performing the copies I am trying to dimension the copies according to the original buffers.This code doesn't function. channelcount and framecount performed on any of the new buffers  both return -1. I suspect the issue is the way I create the buffers or the array itself. What's wrong?  

let hybrid_number = 5; // number of copies
let hybrid_start_buffers = []; // to contain copies of "start"
let hybrid_end_buffers = []; // to contain copies of "end"

// create buffers and copy original samples
function create_hybrid_buffers() {
	let start_buffer = new Buffer("start"); 
	let start_dur_samps = start_buffer.framecount()
	let start_chans = start_buffer.channelcount()
	let end_buffer = new Buffer("end"); 
	let end_dur_samps = end_buffer.framecount()
	let end_chans = end_buffer.channelcount()

// creation of new buffers
for (let i = 0; i < hybrid_number; i++) {
	let my_start_buffer = new Buffer();
	hybrid_start_buffers.push(my_start_buffer);
	let my_end_buffer = new Buffer();
	hybrid_end_buffers.push(my_end_buffer);
	my_start_buffer.send("sizeinsamps", start_dur_samps, start_chans);
	my_end_buffer.send("sizeinsamps", end_dur_samps, end_chans);

I want to get the value of a [value] object in a Js. This is what I am trying:

var vValue = this.patcher.getnamed("value-Obj-Name").getvalueof();

, but both cases return either "jsobject 0" or .

I know this technique works with most(?) max objects as I use it to get the values of various objects successfully.

Do [value] object have a different approach or it simply cant be done (that would be a bummer...)?

I realized you can run TypeScript code in Node for Max more or less directly, if you run it with Node.js 23, which supports type-stripping from 

https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/typescript.html#type-stripping

 files directly. As far as I can tell, it will only load 

 files. But that's ok: from the entry point file, you can  import TypeScript code without doing anything special in Node.js 23.

To get this to work you need to install Node.js 23. You can use 

 (make sure you select v23) or your preferred alternate installation method. I used 

, so the bin paths will be different for other installations. 

[
  node.script test.mjs
  @node_bin_path /opt/homebrew/bin/node
  @npm_bin_path /opt/homebrew/bin/npm
  @autostart 1 @watch 1
]

import "./test.ts";
import Max from "max-api";
Max.post("test.mjs successfully imported TypeScript");

import Max from "max-api";
const s: string = "From test.ts: TypeScript works natively in Max!";
Max.post(s);

Cool. Before upgrading to Node.js 23, it would blow up with an error like "Unable to launch process. Unknown file extension .ts".
