JavaScript

JavaScript in Sciter is a superset of ES2020 specification.

Here is the list of extra features added to JS core by Sciter:

Predefined constants:

• __FILE__ - url of current file that is being compiled;
• __DIR__ - folder part of the __FILE__, always ends with / ;
• __FUNC__ - function name being compiled if available, otherwise one of <anonymous>, <eval>, <script> or <module>;
• __LINE__ - line number in source file;

Data Persitence:

Built-in (JS runtime integrated) persistence, see Storage.

Reactive and Components support:

• Built-in JSX support, on native parser level. Do not need any preprocessors for JSX literals;
• Integrated Reactive Components support. Note this covers as ReactJS as WebComponent support in one unified mechanism;
• Native Signals support. Signals are reactive primitives for managing application state.
