Emit raw JS code from .go (for wrapping existing JS libs)

[coopernurse]

Thanks for this project. Quick question: is there a way to tell go2js to emit some raw JS code from within a .go file?

If not, how do you recommend writing wrappers for existing JS libraries? For example, I'd like to wrap a library like jQuery and encapsulate the Go->JS bindings in a single place. Then I can call the wrapped Go version in a type safe manner.

Thoughts?

What do you mean about "to emit raw JS code from .go"?
go2js translates Go (almost all specification, by now) to JS

I'm basically looking for a FFI from Go to JS. I want to wrap some existing JS libraries.

It looks like this could be done without modifying the translator much and could probably be done as a separate project.

I saw a thread on golang-nuts about this project and there was some talk that supporting a FFI was not part of the project goals. Is that true? If so then I can spin up a new github project and keep it separate.

Thanks

Personally, I would prefer to avoid such tool because so people could create libraries in Go for JS, instead of to use actual JS libraries.

But well, if it's built by somebody then it can be added to go2js; I've no problem by that side. I'm trying don't be so dogmatic.
