Swift framework to interact with JavaScript through WebAssembly.
Check out the Hello World tutorial for a step-by-step guide to getting started.
JavaScriptKit provides a seamless way to interact with JavaScript from Swift code when compiled to WebAssembly. It allows Swift developers to:
- Access JavaScript objects and functions
- Create closures that can be called from JavaScript
- Convert between Swift and JavaScript data types
- Use JavaScript promises with Swift's
async/await - Work with multi-threading
import JavaScriptKit
// Access global JavaScript objects
let document = JSObject.global.document
// Create and manipulate DOM elements
var div = document.createElement("div")
div.innerText = "Hello from Swift!"
_ = document.body.appendChild(div)
// Handle events with Swift closures
var button = document.createElement("button")
button.innerText = "Click me"
button.onclick = .object(JSClosure { _ in
JSObject.global.alert!("Button clicked!")
return .undefined
})
_ = document.body.appendChild(button)Learn more: JavaScript Interop Cheat Sheet
Note: BridgeJS is experimental. APIs may change in future releases.
BridgeJS provides easy interoperability between Swift and JavaScript/TypeScript. It enables:
- Exporting Swift APIs to JavaScript: Make your Swift code callable from JavaScript
- Importing TypeScript APIs into Swift: Use JavaScript APIs with type safety in Swift
For architecture details, see the BridgeJS Plugin README.
Mark Swift code with @JS to make it callable from JavaScript:
import JavaScriptKit
@JS class Greeter {
@JS var name: String
@JS init(name: String) {
self.name = name
}
@JS func greet() -> String {
return "Hello, \(name)!"
}
}JavaScript usage:
const greeter = new exports.Greeter("World");
console.log(greeter.greet()); // "Hello, World!"Learn more: Exporting Swift to JavaScript
Define TypeScript interfaces and BridgeJS generates type-safe Swift bindings:
// bridge-js.d.ts
interface Document {
title: string;
getElementById(id: string): HTMLElement;
createElement(tagName: string): HTMLElement;
}
export function getDocument(): Document;Swift usage:
@JS func run() throws(JSException) {
let document = try getDocument()
try document.setTitle("My Swift App")
let button = try document.createElement("button")
try button.setInnerText("Click Me")
}Learn more: Importing TypeScript into Swift
Use the BridgeJS Playground to preview what interfaces will be exposed on the Swift/TypeScript sides.
