Platform-specific JavaScript Library. Provides some platform-specific functions for the JavaScript target.
Static variables
staticread onlyglobal:Dynamic
An alias of the JS "global" object.
Concretely, it is set as the first defined value in the list of
window
, global
, self
, and this
in the top-level of the compiled output.
staticread onlynativeThis:Dynamic
nativeThis
is the JavaScript this
, which is semantically different
from the Haxe this
. Use nativeThis
only when working with external
JavaScript code.
In Haxe, this
is always bound to a class instance.
In JavaScript, this
in a function can be bound to an arbitrary
variable when the function is called using func.call(thisObj, ...)
or
func.apply(thisObj, [...])
.

staticread onlyundefined:Dynamic
Returns JavaScript undefined
value.
Note that this is only needed in very rare cases when working with external JavaScript code.
In Haxe, null
is used to represent the absence of a value.
staticread onlyparseInt:(string:String, radix:Int) ‑> Float
Native JavaScript parseInt
function.
Its specification is different from Std.parseInt
, so one
might want to access the native one.
Static methods
staticalert(v:Dynamic):Void
Use Browser.alert() instead.
Display an alert message box containing the given message.
staticinlinedebug():Void
Inserts a 'debugger' statement that will make a breakpoint if a debugger is available.
staticinlinedynamicImport(module:String):Promise<Dynamic>
Inserts an import
expression that loads JavaScript object from
a module or file specified in the module
argument.
staticgetOriginalException():Dynamic
Get original caught exception object, before unwrapping the js.Boot.HaxeError
.
Can be useful if we want to redirect the original error into some external API (e.g. Promise or node.js callbacks).
Calling this is only possible inside a catch statement.
staticinlinerequire(module:String):Dynamic
Inserts a require
expression that loads JavaScript object from
a module or file specified in the module
argument.
This is only supported in environments where require
function
is available, such as Node.js or RequireJS.
