JavaScriptKit

Swift framework to interact with JavaScript through WebAssembly.

Requirements

This library only supports swiftwasm/swift distribution toolchain. Please install Swift for WebAssembly toolchain from Release Page

The toolchains can be installed via swiftenv like official nightly toolchain.

e.g.

$ swiftenv install https://github.com/swiftwasm/swift/releases/download/swift-wasm-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2020-06-03-a/swift-wasm-DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2020-06-03-a-osx.tar.gz
$ swift --version
Swift version 5.3-dev (LLVM 47c28180d7, Swift 5f96d487e0)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin19.3.0

Usage

This JavaScript code

const alert = window.alert
const document = window.document

const divElement = document.createElement("div")
divElement.innerText = "Hello, world"
const body = document.body
body.appendChild(divElement)

const pet = {
  age: 3,
  owner: {
    name: "Mike",
  },
}

alert("JavaScript is running on browser!")

Can be written in Swift using JavaScriptKit

import JavaScriptKit

let alert = JSObjectRef.global.alert.function!
let document = JSObjectRef.global.document.object!

let divElement = document.createElement!("div").object!
divElement.innerText = "Hello, world"
let body = document.body.object!
_ = body.appendChild!(divElement)

struct Owner: Codable {
  let name: String
}

struct Pet: Codable {
  let age: Int
  let owner: Owner
}

let jsPet = JSObjectRef.global.pet
let swiftPet: Pet = try JSValueDecoder().decode(from: jsPet)

alert("Swift is running on browser!")
