scalajsdom

Scala.js-dom is a Scala.js library that provides idiomatic Scala bindings for the Document Object Model (DOM) API. It allows Scala.js developers to interact with the web browser's DOM from their Scala code. The library aims to offer a type-safe and functional approach to DOM manipulation, often leveraging Scala's features like immutability, pattern matching, and higher-kinded types.

The primary goal of Scala.js-dom is to bridge the gap between Scala's static typing and the dynamic nature of the browser's JavaScript environment. Instead of writing JavaScript directly or relying on runtime type checks, developers can use Scala's compile-time checks to ensure the correctness of their DOM interactions. This can lead to more robust and maintainable web applications written in Scala.

The library provides Scala classes and methods that mirror the JavaScript DOM APIs. For example, you can create elements, add event listeners, and manipulate styles using Scala syntax. It handles the conversion between Scala types and JavaScript types automatically where possible, simplifying the development process. Scala.js-dom is a fundamental part of the Scala.js ecosystem for front-end web development.
