Cannot register classes and function into an object instead of global

[mean-ui-thread]

To better explain what the issue is, I just wanted to be able to do something like this:

    duk_push_object(ctx);

    dukglue_register_constructor<Dog>(ctx, "Dog");
    dukglue_register_constructor<Dog>(ctx, "Cat");

    duk_put_global_string(ctx, "Animal");

so that they can be used like so:

var dog = new Animal.Dog();
var cat = new Animal.Cat();

However, Dog and Cat always appear in the global scope instead of in the Animal scope.

I managed to get this to work by modifying a copy of dukglue code locally like so:

in register_class.h:

    // set name = constructor_func
    duk_put_global_string(ctx, name);

into

    // set name = constructor_func
    duk_put_prop_string(ctx, -2, name);

However, this breaks the ability to put classes in the global scope. I hope there is a better way to achieve my goal.

I think you could use this technique for defining an explicit global object:

...then use your register_class modification, but specify "global" for the target when that is what you want.
