Bruce JavaScript SDK Wizard

This package includes an interactive wizard to help you set up a JavaScript application for Bruce Zero.

Getting Started

Create your application using the interactive wizard:

npx create-bruce-app@latest

Then, enter the directory with your application and launch it:

cd my-bruce-app
npm run start

You are free to use pnpm or yarn instead of npm.

Important: JavaScript Compatibility

If you use the setup wizard (npx create-bruce-app@latest), your project will support TypeScript and modern JavaScript features like:

• ✅ TypeScript support – Write safer, more maintainable code.
• ✅ Function IntelliSense – See available functions, expected parameters, and documentation directly in your editor.
• ✅ Error checking – Get warnings and errors when using functions incorrectly.
• ✅ Modern JavaScript features like:
  • ✅ let and const.
  • ✅ for...of loops.
  • ✅ Arrow functions (() => {}).
  • ✅ External npm module imports (import isEven from "is-even";).
  • ❌ No Object.entries(), Promise, async/await, setInterval, setTimeout (for now).

However, if you upload scripts directly without using the setup wizard, they must be written in ES5. This means:

• ❌ No TypeScript or IntelliSense – No function suggestions or error checking.
• ❌ No modern JavaScript features – Use only ES5 syntax:
  • ❌ No let (use var instead).
  • ❌ No for...of loops (use traditional for loops with indexes).
  • ❌ No Arrow functions () => {} (use function instead).
  • ❌ No import ir from 'ir' import syntax use const ir = require('ir'); instead.
  • ❌ No External npm module imports.
  • ❌ No Object.entries(), Promise, async/await, setInterval, setTimeout (for now).

Uploading Your Scripts to Bruce

When uploading scripts to Bruce, keep in mind:

• Only JavaScript (.js) files can be uploaded.
• If you have TypeScript (.ts) files, you must first compile it to JavaScript (.js).
• The setup wizard automatically compiles TypeScript to JavaScript when you build your project. The .js file will be in bundle/ folder.

If you need TypeScript or modern JavaScript features, always create your project using the setup wizard.

Code Examples in Documentation

• All code examples in this documentation will run directly on Bruce. No need to compile it.
