SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enable BoxLang developers to compile source into browser-compatible outputs (JavaScript ES modules or WebAssembly) so BoxLang code can run in web browsers and Node.js environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Output modes: ES module bundle (JS + WASM) for browsers and bundlers, or raw WASM for advanced loaders.
  • Automatic export of top-level BoxLang functions and straightforward HTML integration guidance.
  • Suitable for embedding BoxLang logic in web apps, browser-based tools, and server-side Node.js scripts.

Quick Start

Compile BoxLang source to browser-ready WASM/JS using --target js for ES modules or --target wasm for raw WASM, and integrate the outputs into your web project.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I compile BoxLang code to WebAssembly for browser execution?▼

Compile BoxLang source to browser-ready WebAssembly by using the --target wasm flag to generate a standalone .wasm file for custom loaders, or use --target js to output JavaScript ES modules for direct HTML integration and bundlers.

What is the difference between JavaScript ES module and raw WASM outputs when running BoxLang in browsers?▼

Running BoxLang in browsers via JavaScript ES modules produces .js and .wasm files for straightforward bundler integration, while raw WebAssembly outputs a standalone .wasm file designed for advanced custom loaders requiring manual implementation.

Can I use BoxLang with Node.js and web bundlers?▼

Yes, BoxLang compiles to browser-compatible JavaScript ES modules that run in Node.js environments and integrate with web bundlers, automatically exporting top-level functions for seamless import across both platforms.

How do I expose BoxLang functions to JavaScript in a web application?▼

Expose BoxLang functions to JavaScript by compiling with --target js, which automatically exports top-level BoxLang functions as ES module imports for direct usage within web applications and Node.js scripts.

When should I choose raw WebAssembly over JavaScript ES modules for BoxLang compilation?▼

Choose raw WebAssembly over JavaScript ES modules when you need a standalone .wasm file for advanced custom loaders, bypassing standard bundler workflows and HTML integration guidance provided by the ES module target.
