Review by everyone ;)
Pinging the usual suspects: @nicolasstucki @gzm0 @lihaoyi
as well as people who have expressed manifest interest/have already tried Scala.js-defined JS classes: @jducoeur @mysticfall @chandu0101 @russpowers (feel free to Unsubscribe on the right if you don't want to follow this)

Looks good to me. So many new things =D I guess after this we'll go and annotate all of scala-js-dom and other facade libraries with @js.native?

The visual asymmetry between @js.native and @ScalaJSDefined bugs me somewhat, but I guess it's no big deal.

Yes ^^

It is not nice, but remember that @ScalaJSDefined will eventually completely disappear.

LGTM, and looking forward to it -- should seriously improve facade development...

Looks good, thanks for this really useful release!

+100 :)

Anonymous classes and object literals

I missed this before , a handy one definitely . Out of curiosity we must implement all fields right ? ,not a replacer for companion objects/builder .. ?

scala-js/scala-js#1883 is missing

Yes, since Scala.js-defined JS traits cannot have concrete members, the Scala type system will basically force you to implement all advertised members. So for typical options object, that means you have to implement default values as well.

Note that you could provide an AbstractOptions inheriting from your Options, with concrete implementations for optional values (with = js.undefined). Then you can extend that one instead in your object literal, and then you don't have to provide all values anymore :-)

Indeed, thanks. And I also forgot scala-js/scala-js#1818

Artifacts published on Maven Central. ScalaDocs and CLI downloads up on the webserver.

👯 🌹 try it out soon

[sjrd]

Updated with references to js.constructorOf[C] (scala-js/scala-js#1883) and the bug scala-js/scala-js#1818.

[gzm0]

Consider putting "in Scala.js" at the end of the phrase.

[gzm0]

That's all. The SJS defined classes section is a bit minimalistic in some spots, but it's probably better to leave it until someone asks anyways :)

[sjrd]

OK I will make the changes before merging in 2/3 hours.

Updated.
