package js

Types, methods and values for interoperability with JavaScript libraries.

This package is only relevant to the Scala.js compiler, and should not be referenced by any project compiled to the JVM.

Guide

General documentation on Scala.js is available at http://www.scala-js.org/doc/.

Overview

The trait js.Any is the root of the hierarchy of JavaScript types. This package defines important subtypes of js.Any that are defined in the standard library of ECMAScript 5.1 (or ES 6, with a label in the documentation), such as js.Object, js.Array and js.RegExp.

Implicit conversions to and from standard Scala types to their equivalent in JavaScript are provided. For example, from Scala functions to JavaScript functions and back.

The most important subtypes of js.Any declared in this package are:

The trait js.Dynamic is a special subtrait of js.Any. It can represent any JavaScript value in a dynamically-typed way. It is possible to call any method and read and write any field of a value of type js.Dynamic.

There are no explicit definitions for JavaScript primitive types, as one could expect, because the corresponding Scala types stand in their stead:

js.UndefOr gives a scala.Option-like interface where the JavaScript value undefined takes the role of None.

A | B is an unboxed pseudo-union type, suitable to type values that admit several unrelated types in facade types.

  47. def use[A](x: A): Using[A]

    Allows to cast a value to a facade trait in a type-safe way.

    Allows to cast a value to a facade trait in a type-safe way.

    Use as follows:

    js.use(x).as[MyFacade]

    Note that the method calls are only syntactic sugar. There is no overhead at runtime for such an operation. Using use(x).as[T] is strictly equivalent to x.asInstanceOf[T] if the compile time check does not fail.

    This method supports both Scala classes with exports and facade types which are structurally equivalent.

    Examples

    Given the following facade type:

    trait MyFacade extends js.Object {
    def foo(x: Int): String = js.native
    val bar: Int = js.native
    }

    We show a couple of examples:

    class MyClass1 {
      @JSExport
      def foo(x: Int): String = x.toString
    
      @JSExport
      val bar: Int = 1
    }
    
    val x1 = new MyClass1
    js.use(x1).as[MyFacade] // OK

    Note that JS conventions apply: The val bar can be implemented with a def.

    class MyClass2 {
      @JSExport
      def foo(x: Int): String = x.toString
    
      @JSExport
      def bar: Int = 1 // def instead of val
    }
    
    val x2 = new MyClass2
    js.use(x2).as[MyFacade] // OK

    Missing methods or methods with wrong types will cause a compile-time failure.

    class MyClass3 {
      @JSExport
      def foo(x: String): String = x.toString // wrong type signature
    
      // bar is missing
    }
    
    val x3 = new MyClass3
    js.use(x2).as[MyFacade] // Fails: bar is missing and foo has wrong type

    Methods must be exported, otherwise they are not taken into consideration.

    class MyClass4 {
      def foo(x: Int): String = x.toString
    
      @JSExport
      def bar: Int = 1 // def instead of val
    }
    
    val x4 = new MyClass4
    js.use(x4).as[MyFacade] // Fails, foo is missing

    Other facade types can also be used

    trait MyOtherFacade extends js.Object {
      def foo(x: Any): String = js.native
      val bar: Int = js.native
      def otherMethod(): Unit = js.native
    }
    
    val x5: MyOtherFacade = // ...
    js.use(x5).as[MyFacade] // OK

    Restrictions

    • Facade types may only be traits and not have any class ancestors
    • Polymorphic methods are currently not supported
    • Facade types defining an apply method cannot used (this is a JavaScript restriction).
