SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Compiles BoxLang to browser-ready outputs (JS ES modules and raw WASM) to enable embedding BoxLang logic in web pages, SPAs, and Node.js projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • ES Module output (.js + .wasm) via --target js for browser and bundlers (Webpack/Vite)
  • Raw WASM output (.wasm) via --target wasm for custom loaders and advanced bundling
  • All top-level BoxLang functions are exported for use in web apps and Node.js
  • Browser and bundler integration guidance and Node.js usage

Quick Start

Compile your BoxLang source to browser-ready JavaScript and WebAssembly outputs and include them in your web page or Node.js project.

Frequently Asked Questions about boxlang-runtime-wasm-in-the-browser

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

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

To compile BoxLang to WebAssembly for the browser, use the `--target wasm` flag to generate raw `.wasm` files for custom loaders, or use `--target js` to output ES modules and WebAssembly bundles for direct web page integration.

Does BoxLang WASM compilation work with bundlers like Webpack and Vite?▼

Yes, BoxLang WASM compilation works with bundlers like Webpack and Vite. Compiling with `--target js` outputs ES modules specifically designed for integration into modern web development bundler workflows.

Can I use BoxLang in a Node.js project by compiling it to JavaScript?▼

Yes, you can use BoxLang in a Node.js project by compiling it with `--target js`. This generates JavaScript ES modules that export all top-level BoxLang functions for direct use within your Node applications.

Why do my BoxLang WebAssembly assets fail to load during local development?▼

BoxLang WebAssembly assets fail to load during local development because WASM requires HTTP serving. You must serve your project over HTTP rather than using direct file access for the assets to load correctly in the browser.

What is the difference between raw WASM and JS ES module outputs when compiling BoxLang?▼

The difference is that `--target js` outputs ES modules with bundled WebAssembly for standard browser and bundler integration, while `--target wasm` outputs raw `.wasm` files for use with custom loaders and advanced bundling setups.
