js.scala: JavaScript as an embedded DSL in Scala

Documentation

• ECOOP 2012 paper (PDF) and slides (PDF)
• Scala Days 2012 talk

Setup

1. Setup virtualization-lms-core, including Scala-Virtualized. If you deploy locally, ensure the SCALA_VIRTUALIZED_VERSION environment variable is set consistently.

2. Run sbt. test to ensure everything works. Then publish-local.

Use it in Play 2!

• build-play20 builds Play 2! and all its transitive Scala dependencies with Scala-Virtualized, for compatibility with this DSL. Deployment on dotcloud is an option.

Further projects

• play-js-validation uses this DSL to enable form validation code in Play 2.0 to be written once and checked on both client and server sides.

• forest uses this DSL to enable HTML templates to be written once and shared between client and server sides, both for initial rendering and automatic updating.
