Pas2JS General

Pas2JS is a source-to-source compiler (S2S Compiler).
Convert Pascal source to JavaScript source.

It's a part of FreePascal Compiler.

With Pas2JS compiler, CT can build from Pascal source code, JavaScript applications.
These JavaScript applications are ECMAScript 5 and should run in any browser or in Node.js.

 

CodeTyphon Studio support Pas2JS to ALL Host OSes,
you can build Pas2JS Web Applications on:

  • Windows
  • Linux
  • MacOS
  • FreeBSD
  • NetBSD
  • OpenBSD
  • DragonFly
  • OpenIndiana
  • Solaris

 

Supported pascal syntax elements

A significant amount of Object Pascal syntax is supported, including RTTI. A more detailed list can be found in the translation file in the sources.

  • Delphi and ObjFPC mode
  • Program, Units, namespaces
  • unit initialization, but not finalization
  • Var, Const, Type
  • string (unicodestring), char (widechar), Boolean, Double, Byte, Shortint, Word, Smallint, longword, Longint, nativeint(int53), nativeuint(int52), currency
  • resourcestrings
  • Pointer (as a reference to a class, array, record, pointer of record, interface, but no pointer arithmetic)
  • Record (but no variant records), advanced records
  • Functions, Procedures, nested, anonymous functions
  • function types, of object, reference to (closures)
  • function arguments: default, const, var, out
  • If-then-else
  • For-do
  • Repeat-until
  • While-do
  • With-do
  • try-finally
  • try-except
  • enums
  • sets
  • arrays static, dynamic, open, multi dimensionals, array of const
  • String like array operations: a:=[1,2,3]+[1,1];
  • class type, visibility, virtual, override, abstract, overload, properties, class properties, class var, class const, constructor, destructor, class constructor
  • class-of
  • nested classes
  • interfaces: CORBA, COM, delegations, method resolution, reference counting, TVirtualInterface
  • external classes, vars, const
  • class helpers, record helpers, type helpers
  • Enumeration for..in..do
  • Type alias, e.g. type TTranslateString = type string;
  • RTTI
  • asm block for embedding JavaScript directly
  • compiler directives (e.g. $ifdef, $if, $define, $modeswitch, $R+)
  • compile time and run time range checking. Overflow checking
  • attributes
  • $linklib directive to link modules.
  • generics
  • Resources
