The goal is to convert a subset (or full set) of Elixir code to JavaScript, providing the ability to write JavaScript in Elixir. This is done by taking the Elixir AST and converting it into JavaScript AST and then to JavaScript code. This is done using the Elixir-ESTree library. This release includes one major addition and a number of important changes. ElixirScript.Test ElixirScript.Test is a framework for testing Elixir modules that interact with JavaScript via the FFI. For all other modules, ExUnit is still recommended. ElixirScript.Test’s API is similar to ExUnit’s API. ElixirScript.Test files must be placed in a folder named test_elixir_script. Tests are compiled and then are executed using node.js. ElixirScript can now take a path to compile. This is to support the compilation of modules defined in .exs files For more information regarding changes, please check the changelog.
