# Eval GJS GNOME Shell Extension

As of GNOME 41, the dbus method `Eval()` is now restricted with `MetaContext:unsafe-mode` property (see this [commit](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1970/diffs?commit_id=f42df5995e08a89495e2f59a9ed89b5c03369bf8)). This extension provides unrestricted `Eval()` dbus method for running arbitrary code in the compositor.

## Features

* Run arbitrary GJS code like you would with GNOME `Eval()` dbus method.
* `Main`, `Gio`, `GLib` and `Meta` available by default.
