ceramic.ScriptUtils (Class)

Utilities for converting JavaScript/TypeScript syntax to HScript.

Provides transpilation of common JS/TS idioms to make scripts more familiar to web developers while maintaining HScript compatibility.

Supported conversions:

  • Arrow functions: () => expr → function() expr
  • Arrow functions: => → ->
  • For-of loops: for (x of array) → for (x in array)
  • Const declarations: const → var
  • Template literals: `text` → "text"
  • Infinite loop protection in while loops
