Dependencies

Depending on Scala.js libraries

To be able to use a Scala library in Scala.js, it has to be separately compiled for Scala.js. You then can add it to your library dependencies as follows:

libraryDependencies += "org.scala-js" %%% "scalajs-dom" % "2.8.0"

Note the %%% (instead of the usual %%) which will add the current Scala.js version to the artifact name. This allows to

  • Cross-publish libraries to different Scala.js versions
  • Disambiguate Scala.js artifacts from their JVM counterparts

Some Scala.js core libraries (such as the Scala.js library itself) do not need the %%% since their version number is the Scala.js version number itself.

Note that you can also use %%% in a Scala/JVM project, in which case it will be the same as %%. This allows you to use the same libraryDependencies settings when cross compiling Scala/JVM and Scala.js.
