GodotJS

Add TypeScript/JavaScript Support for Godot 4.x with v8.

Note

This project is still in the very early stage of development.

Features

• Godot ScriptLanguage integration
• Debug with Chrome devtools when using V8
• REPL in Editor
• Hot-reloading
• Asynchronous module loading (import function)
• Sandboxed scripting (not multi-threading)
• Worker threads

Get Started

STEP 1: Download or clone the repo into the modules directory of your Godot engine source:

cd YourGodotEngineSource/modules
git clone https://github.com/ialex32x/GodotJS.git

STEP 2: Pull all lfs objects (since the prebuilt v8 library is too big to push as a common file on github):

Note

git-lfs must be installed as a prerequisite. Follow the instructions on Github Docs to install git-lfs.

cd YourGodotEngineSource/modules/GodotJS
git lfs install
git lfs pull

STEP 3: Compile and launch Godot Editor. Then, install TypeScript/JavaScript presets into a Godot project.

For more information on how to use GodotJS in a project, check out GodotJSExample for examples written in typescript.

A prebuilt version of Godot Editor can be downloaded from GodotJS-Build.
