Root of the hierarchy of JavaScript types.
Root of the hierarchy of JavaScript types.
Subtypes of js.Any are JavaScript types, which have different semantics and guarantees than Scala types (subtypes of AnyRef and AnyVal). Operations on JavaScript types behave as the corresponding operations in the JavaScript language.
By default, JavaScript types are native: they are facade types to APIs implemented in JavaScript code. Their implementation is irrelevant and never emitted. As such, all members must be defined with their right-hand-side being js.native. For forward source compatibility with the next major version, the class/trait/object itself should be annotated with @js.native.
In most cases, you should not directly extend this trait, but rather extend js.Object.
To implement a JavaScript type in Scala.js (therefore non-native), its declaration must be annotated with @ScalaJSDefined. Scala.js-defined JS types cannot directly extend native JS traits; and Scala.js-defined JS traits cannot declare concrete term members.
It is not possible to define traits or classes that inherit both from this trait and a strict subtype of AnyRef. In fact, you should think of js.Any as a third direct subclass of scala.Any, besides scala.AnyRef and scala.AnyVal.
See the JavaScript interoperability guide of Scala.js for more details.
Arrays are list-like objects whose prototype has methods to perform traversal and mutation operations.
Arrays are list-like objects whose prototype has methods to perform traversal and mutation operations. Neither the length of a JavaScript array nor the types of its elements are fixed. Since an array's size length grow or shrink at any time, JavaScript arrays are not guaranteed to be dense. In general, these are convenient characteristics; but if these features are not desirable for your particular use, you might consider using typed arrays.

To construct a new array with uninitialized elements, use the constructor of this class. To construct a new array with specified elements, as if you used the array literal syntax in JavaScript, use the Array.apply method instead.

A ConstructorTag[T] holds the constructor function of a JS class, as
retrieved by js.constructorOf[T]. Similarly to
ClassTags, ConstructorTags can be implicitly
materialized when T is statically known to be a JS class, i.e., a valid
type argument to js.constructorOf.
Creates a JavaScript Date instance that represents a single moment in time.
Dictionary "view" of a JavaScript value.
Dictionary "view" of a JavaScript value.
Using objects as dictionaries (maps from strings to values) through their properties is a common idiom in JavaScript. This trait lets you treat an object as such a dictionary, with the familiar API of a Map.
To use it, cast your object, say x, into a Dictionary using
val xDict = x.asInstanceOf[js.Dictionary[Int]]
then use it as
xDict("prop") = 5 println(xDict.get("prop")) // displays Some(5) xDict -= "prop" // removes the property "prop" println(xDict.get("prop")) // displays None
To enumerate all the keys of a dictionary, use collection methods or for comprehensions. For example:
for ((prop, value) <- xDict) { println(prop + " -> " + value) }
Note that this does not enumerate properties in the prototype chain of
xDict.
This trait extends js.Any directly, because it is not safe to call methods of js.Object on it, given that the name of these methods could be used as keys in the dictionary.
Dynamically typed JavaScript value.
An instance representing an error that occurs regarding the global function eval()
The Function constructor creates a new Function object.
The Function constructor creates a new Function object. In JavaScript every function is actually a Function object.
Function objects created with the Function constructor are parsed when the function is created. This is less efficient than declaring a function and calling it within your code, because functions declared with the function statement are parsed with the rest of the code.
All arguments passed to the function are treated as the names of the identifiers of the parameters in the function to be created, in the order in which they are passed.
Note: Functions created with the Function constructor do not create closures to their creation contexts; they always are created in the global scope. When running them, they will only be able to access their own local variables and global ones, not the ones from the scope in which the Function constructor was called. This is different from using eval with code for a function expression.
Invoking the Function constructor as a function (without using the new operator) has the same effect as invoking it as a constructor.

In Scala.js 1.x, js.JSApp will disappear. It is currently "softly"
deprecated: it is not recommended to use it in new code, but it does not
cause a deprecation warning (yet). Prefer using a standard main method (see
below).
Objects inheriting from JSApp are automatically exported to JavaScript under their fully qualified name, and their main method as well.
JSApp is typically used to mark the entry point of a Scala.js
application. As such, the sbt plugin also recognizes top-level objects
extending JSApp. It allows to run their main method with sbt run,
and can also generate a tiny JavaScript launcher snippet executing the
main method of one specific JSApp object.
Starting with Scala.js 0.6.18, the sbt plugin can also recognize "standard"
main methods of the form
def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = ...
in objects, even if they do not extend JSApp. Such main methods are
cross-platform, and should be preferred over extending JSApp in new code.

Attention! The nature of this class, from the ECMAScript specification, makes it inherently un-typeable, because it is not type parametric.
The signatures of the constructor and the methods then and catch are
only valid provided that the values of A and B are not
Thenables.
We recommend to use Scala's Futures instead of Promise as much as
possible. A Promise can be converted to a Future with .toFuture and
back with .toJSPromise (provided by JSConverters).
With
import scala.scalajs.js.Thenable.Implicits._ you can implicitly convert a Promise to a Future, and therefore you can
directly use the methods of Future on Promises.

Native JS entities are not implemented in Scala.js. They are facade types for native JS libraries.
In Scala.js 0.6.x, all types extending js.Any are native by default (unless they are annotated with annotation.ScalaJSDefined), but this will not be the case in the next major version anymore.
Only types extending js.Any can be annotated with @js.native.

Use as follows:
js.use(x).as[MyFacade]
Note that the method calls are only syntactic sugar. There is no overhead
at runtime for such an operation. Using use(x).as[T] is strictly
equivalent to x.asInstanceOf[T] if the compile time check does not fail.
This method supports both Scala classes with exports and facade types which are structurally equivalent.
Given the following facade type:
trait MyFacade extends js.Object { def foo(x: Int): String = js.native val bar: Int = js.native }
We show a couple of examples:
class MyClass1 { @JSExport def foo(x: Int): String = x.toString @JSExport val bar: Int = 1 } val x1 = new MyClass1 js.use(x1).as[MyFacade] // OK
Note that JS conventions apply: The val bar can be implemented with a
def.
class MyClass2 { @JSExport def foo(x: Int): String = x.toString @JSExport def bar: Int = 1 // def instead of val } val x2 = new MyClass2 js.use(x2).as[MyFacade] // OK
Missing methods or methods with wrong types will cause a compile-time failure.
class MyClass3 { @JSExport def foo(x: String): String = x.toString // wrong type signature // bar is missing } val x3 = new MyClass3 js.use(x2).as[MyFacade] // Fails: bar is missing and foo has wrong type
Methods must be exported, otherwise they are not taken into consideration.
class MyClass4 { def foo(x: Int): String = x.toString @JSExport def bar: Int = 1 // def instead of val } val x4 = new MyClass4 js.use(x4).as[MyFacade] // Fails, foo is missing
Other facade types can also be used
trait MyOtherFacade extends js.Object { def foo(x: Any): String = js.native val bar: Int = js.native def otherMethod(): Unit = js.native } val x5: MyOtherFacade = // ... js.use(x5).as[MyFacade] // OK

Overview
The trait js.Any is the root of the hierarchy of JavaScript types. This package defines important subtypes of js.Any that are defined in the standard library of ECMAScript 5.1 (or ES 6, with a label in the documentation), such as js.Object, js.Array and js.RegExp.
Implicit conversions to and from standard Scala types to their equivalent in JavaScript are provided. For example, from Scala functions to JavaScript functions and back.
The most important subtypes of js.Any declared in this package are:
thisas an explicit parameterThe trait js.Dynamic is a special subtrait of js.Any. It can represent any JavaScript value in a dynamically-typed way. It is possible to call any method and read and write any field of a value of type js.Dynamic.
There are no explicit definitions for JavaScript primitive types, as one could expect, because the corresponding Scala types stand in their stead:
null)Nullis the type of the JavaScript null valuejs.UndefOr gives a scala.Option-like interface where the JavaScript value
undefinedtakes the role ofNone.A | B is an unboxed pseudo-union type, suitable to type values that admit several unrelated types in facade types.
