JavaScript library facades

JavaScript libraries for Scala.js

These facades wrap existing JavaScript libraries, giving you type safe access to their functionality. Some of the facades may only partially expose the underlying JavaScript library functionality, so make sure to check out the details. To quickly start using one of these libraries, just click on the dependency clipboard button to get the relevant SBT dependency definition.

If you didn’t find a facade for the library you’d like to use, it’s quite easy to do one yourself. Check out the facade documentation and the TypeScript conversion tool. You can also skip whole facade-business and just call JavaScript APIs dynamically, without type-checking, the same way you do it when programming in JavaScript itself.
