Support for Scala.js

[ngbinh]

Scala.js http://www.scala-js.org/ has been very popular in Scala community. At work we are having a very large code base in both Scala (backend) and Scala.js (frontend). I am wondering if anyone has tried to compile scala.js using bazel?

[johnynek]

it would be nice to have support for scalajs. I have not looked at it.

[muller]

@ngbinh @johnynek I managed to create the .sjsir files in https://gist.github.com/muller/728f3d4c45ec593f1fde4fce19d686ea.

I am working now on execute the linking part with a genrule, what should give me the JavaScript file.

[ngbinh]

thanks!

[johnynek]

Nice work!

It would be great to have this be an easy option we could set up with a scala toolchain #170

[muller]

I just added the linker to the gist. Now it is possible to write .scala and get .js out.

@johnynek I don't fully understand the toolchains. I will have a look on #170, see if I can port this gist to use it.

[johnynek]

note that with #380 we can probably think about how to do this again.

We might need to look at adding scalajs support to scala_import.

[ittaiz]

Sounds interesting! What do you mean by scala.js support in scala_import?

scala.js uses maven jars for its compiled code. So, for scala_import, you could also say this scala library exists for jvm and js (and maybe later, native).

Then when we go to compile a library that we want scalajs for, we make sure all dependencies are scala, or transitively depend on scala_import with js. That might work.

I too have had luck getting rules_scala to build me .sjsir files, with the following in my WORKSPACE

 scala_maven_import_external(
    name = "org_scala_js_scalajs_compiler",
    artifact = "org.scala-js:scalajs-compiler_2.12.8:0.6.28",
    licenses = ["notice"],
    server_urls = [
        "https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/",
    ],   
)

bind(
  name = 'jar/org/scala_js/scalajs_compiler_2_12_8_0_6_28',
  actual = '@org_scala_js_scalajs_compiler//jar'
)

and in my BUILD's scala-library

plugins = ["@org_scala_js_scalajs_compiler//jar"]

is all that's needed to make scala emit a .jar file with .sjsir files inside it. The linker program above worked perfectly, even to fullOptJS things, by modifying the Linker's Config object.

I'd love to have support for scalajs, and AFAICT this involves adding support for scalajs by changing new_scala_default_repository to support scalajs importing by including the fully version-qualified org.scalajs scalajs-compiler, scalajs-ir, and scalajs-tools into the included libraries if it's a JS project, and an additional target rule similar to the existing scaladoc/tut ones.

If i have time in the coming weeks, i'll format this stuff out as a PR

[johnynek]

Amazing that it is so easy! I'd love to see a PR with docs, or better a small example that we can add to the tests.

It would be interesting to think about how to not have to define two separate build targets. It could be that aspects could be useful here. If a target only defines scala dependencies, then we could possibly generate all the internal scalajs_library targets with an aspect.

[ittaiz]

Btw, A co-worker at Wix has an internal scala.js back-office application built and deployed to production for a few months now

I've completed a linker to turn the SJSIR/class files into js, and have added some checks to make it successfully build JS. I'm going to clean up my code and submit a PR soon - need to finish

1. Tests
2. Removing hacks
3. Passing arguments to the linker

[ittaiz]

Thanks! Very interesting. Please take into account that in the next 2-3 weeks we won’t be able to accept contributions since we’re merging a huge refactor PR which changes the architecture of the rules. After it’s in and you’ll readjust to it’s pattern I’d love to review.

@ittaiz any progress around scalajs integration?

[ittaiz]

None on my side.
@DhashS are you interested in picking it up? @avitaln FYI

[gvacaliuc]

Hi everyone, I'm interested in playing with this, but I wanted to see if anyone had done any work before getting in too deep.

I'm mostly hoping to get scalapb and 🤞 scalapb-grpcweb working, the latter of which depends on a very new version of scala.js (1.5.0). I was able to get a simple build working (no scalapb) with @muller 's gist + an updated scala.js linker: https://gist.github.com/2201dda3b4acdeb0a9206f5073060745.

If anyone has pointers or suggestions, please drop em here!

[ittaiz]

No update but I wish you a lot of luck!

[gvacaliuc]

I was able to get things mostly working! It's still quite rough and definitely not ready for review, as there are many open questions, but if anyone is interested in taking a look / making suggestions, the rules_scala changes are here: ConsultingMD#14 and there is an example repo that uses them with a compatible toolchain here: https://github.com/gvacaliuc/bazel-scalapb-grpcweb-example.
