Compilation to JavaScript
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
Nim code can be compiled to JavaScript. However in order to write
|
||||
JavaScript-compatible code you should remember the following:
|
||||
- ``addr`` and ``ptr`` have slightly different semantic meaning in JavaScript.
|
||||
It is recommended to avoid those if you're not sure how they are translated
|
||||
to JavaScript.
|
||||
- ``cast[T](x)`` in JavaScript is translated to ``(x)``.
|
||||
- ``cstring`` in JavaScript means JavaScript string. It is a good practice to
|
||||
use ``cstring`` only when it is semantically appropriate. E.g. don't use
|
||||
``cstring`` as a binary data buffer.
