Ghost Sandbox

This module was extracted from the Ghost blogging platform project. Its sole purpose is to create a sandboxed environment for Node.js modules.

Installation

npm install ghost-sandbox

Example 1: Using a whitelist

Using a whitelist will only allow the the sandboxed module to require the listed modules.

"use strict";
 
const Sandbox = require('ghost-sandbox');
 
const sandbox = new Sandbox({
  whitelist: ['when', 'lodash', ...]
});
 
const sandboxedModule = sandbox.loadWidget(modulePath);

Example 2: Using a blacklist

Using a blacklist will only reject the listed modules.

"use strict";
 
const Sandbox = require('ghost-sandbox');
 
const sandbox = new Sandbox({
  blacklist: ['path', 'fs', ...]
});
 
const sandboxedModule = sandbox.loadWidget(modulePath);

Note: If you include both options, the whitelist will supersede the blacklist.
