How do you create an environment?

[ghost]

The README says

env = CommonJS::Environment.new(:path => '/path/to/lib/dir')

But it doesn't explain what the path to lib directory is supposed to be a path to? What library? I've tried using the current directory but get an error.

The readme is wrong.
The constructor actually takes 2 arguments - runtime and options(which are empty hash by default, but default doesn't work), see

commonjs.rb/lib/commonjs/environment.rb

Line 7 in 79dbbf0

def initialize(runtime, options = {})

You can find an example of a successful environment object creation here
https://github.com/cowboyd/commonjs.rb/blob/master/spec/spec_helper.rb

Example:

js = CommonJS::Environment.new(V8::Context.new, path: './node_modules')

Any ideas on how I can eval() js code now if I am using commonjs and therubyracer?

What rogsmith said :)

Looking at the source - this will just add them as modules into the existing runtime, you would re-use the V8::Context.new to eval things.
