# **GodotJS**

***-- JavaScript and TypeScript language binding for Godot game engine --***

This module implements JavaScript/TypeScript language support for the Godot game engine using [QuickJS](https://bellard.org/quickjs/) as the JavaScript engine.

## Getting started

Read the [getting-started](https://godotjs.github.io/documentation/getting-started/).

## Features

- Almost complete ES2020 support

- All Godot API available

- Operator overriding for built-in types (Vector3, Color, etc)

- TypeScript support

- [Using third-party libraries from npm](https://github.com/GodotExplorer/ECMAScriptDemos/tree/master/npm_module)

- Multi-thread support with Worker API

- Full code completion support for all Godot APIs including signals and enumerations

- Debug in Visual Studio Code with the [plugin](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=geequlim.godot-javascript-debug) - currently not available for 4.x

## Getting the engine

No installation or setup necessary. The binaries for download are the complete, usable Godot editor and engine with JavaScript/TypeScript language support.

### Binary downloads

Download the binaries from the [release page](https://github.com/GodotExplorer/ECMAScript/releases).

### Compiling from source

- Clone the source code of [godot](https://github.com/godotengine/godot):

  - `git clone [email protected]:godotengine/godot.git` or

  - `git clone https://github.com/godotengine/godot.git`

- This branch uses version `4.1` so checkout the version with: `git checkout 4.1`

- Clone this module and put it into `godot/modules/javascript`:

  - `git clone [email protected]:godotjs/javascript.git godot/modules/javascript` or

  - `git clone https://github.com/godotjs/javascript.git godot/modules/javascript`

- [Recompile the godot engine](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.1/development/compiling/index.html)

  - Use `scons` with those additional options `warnings=extra werror=yes module_text_server_fb_enabled=yes` to show all potential errors:

    - Windows: `scons platform=windows warnings=extra werror=yes module_text_server_fb_enabled=yes`

    - MacOS: `scons platform=macos arch=arm64 warnings=extra werror=yes module_text_server_fb_enabled=yes`

  - **Hint**: To enable unit tests you need to add ``tests=true`` to `scons` arguments
