Windows 10 Universal App C# - Run Javascript

Question

I have a C# windows 10 app and I need to be able to run javascript. In .net I would use a WebView class to give me this ability but doesnt seem available in Native Windows 10 Universal App.

How would I be able to accomplish this?

I can only recommend the usage of the Jint Nuget-package at nuget.org/packages/Jint . Executing JavaScript is as easy as doing object result = new JintEngine().Run("return 21 * 2");. (jint.codeplex.com/…) — Maximilian Gerhardt

You can continue to use a Webview, like this:

<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
        <WebView />
</Grid>

Or you can give a try to ChakraBridge: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/eternalcoding/2015/10/21/using-javascript-frameworks-from-your-cuwp-application/
