Overview
ReScript ships 3 modules in its standard library.
Js: bindings for all your familiar JavaScript APIs.
Belt: extra collections and helpers not available in JavaScript.
Dom: Dom related types and modules.
Usage heuristics:
Default to using the
Js
module. Most of the APIs in it are runtime-free and compile down to clean, readable JavaScript, which is our priority.For other APIs that aren't available in regular JavaScript (and thus don't exist in our
Js
bindings), use Belt. For example, preferJs.Array2
overBelt.Array
.The
Dom
module contains our standardized types used by various userland DOM bindings. Due to the complexity of DOM, we don't mind that you ignore this module and build your application-specific DOM bindings.
Note: we do not recommend other userland standard library alternatives (unless it's DOM bindings). These cause confusion and split points for the community.
