JSDOM in browser

[Sunil Agrawal]

Hi,

I am a JSDOM newbie and have a basic question. Has anyone used JSDOM in a browser?  My use case is to provide a 'virtual DOM' within web workers. 

I saw a similar thread, but that was closed, and I couldn't figure if the issue was resolved (and there is support), or that was determined as out of scope.

Thanks, Sunil

It's not possible, it relies on a lot of native node modules, like the file system, as well as contextify, which is a c extension.

I wonder if it would be possible with node-webkit? At first, the
thought of using jsdom in the browser didn't make much sense to me -
but using it in webworkers... that conjures up some interesting ideas.

If you just need a jquery-ish api in a web worker you could use https://github.com/MatthewMueller/cheerio

Hi Sunil,

It should be possible but you have to "browserify" it first to import the shims and polyfills.

Unfortunately I have not had success and will be posting a question here about this.

In my case I want jsdom for a JS engine.

HTHs,

HF
