Instantiate a new javascript instance from C#

Unity Engine
1

I have a small javascript class called Item (inherits from System.Object). I was wondering if there’s a way to create instances of Item in a C# class (so that they can be passed to other Javascript class instances).

I currently have a solution that works: I pair the C# instance with the following Javascript class (as components of the same GameObject):

class ObjectItem extends MonoBehaviour
{
	// Create the new instance of Item, passing the
	// GameObject to its constructor.
	function GetNewItem() : Item
	{
		return new Item(gameObject);
	}
}

I use reflection in C# to call GetNewItem() in the Javascript component, and pass the returned value (abstracted as System.Object) to other Javascript instances.

It works fine, but it would be simpler if I could create instances of Javascript class Item directly in C#.

Somewhat related, can static member functions in Javascript be called in C#, or vice versa?

Got it worked out. Putting the class definition of Item in folder Standard Assets was necessary, for that class to be recognized in C#. Then it is a simple matter of the following line in C#:
Item item = new Item(gameObject);

I didn’t think it could work so nice between the languages :).
