Scala.js without SBT

[Eric Hubbard]

Been spending some time trying to setup a productive code/build cycle.  It seems like with Workbench -- and the cross project stuff -- I *should* be able to get everything going in a nice happy way.  However; my newness to Scala & SBT keep getting in the way.  

It would be nice if I could fall back to ant/intellij (very comfy for me)  to drive my builds and concentrate just on scala --  is there any documentation floating around on what the various class invocations and magic pixie dust that might be required to do so?  

Thanks..

It looks like -- if I had the invocation info -- I could just define the scalajs files as a transplier within intellij -- much like coffeescript...

Scala.js compiler is technically just a compiler plugin for regular scalac, so it shouldn't be a problem to set up IntelliJ for Scala.js with other build tools, but AFAIK, SBT contains some significant amounts of code that generates and optimizes final JS files (the compiler itself produces only intermediate .sjsir files), and these may be more problematic to port.

You're unlikely to make your life any easier by ditching sbt. I suggest you copy your abt setup from one of the numerous projects on GitHub

Yeah, we've got all sorts of tooling infrastructure that's evolved over the past couple of years, nearly all of it written in sbt.  (Keep in mind, sbt isn't just tool, it's essentially a language itself.)  While I can understand the desire to avoid the sbt learning curve, trying to do without it seems like a way to make yourself miserable in the medium term -- it's likely to be very limiting...

hmm... yeah I don't want to get into the business of re-inventing SBT inside of intellij & ant...   your response..(and others) have convinced me to bite the bullet.  I've tried a few of the examples over on github -- none of them worked "out of the box" for me..  not sure if it was user error or just version/workflow mismatches..   and slogging through all that.. seemed so .. extra...:(

Hi,

You can work with Scala.js without sbt using the standalone cli:
http://www.scala-js.org/downloads.html

You can find out how that works at https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js/blob/master/TESTING

Cheers,
Sébastien
