Can a scala-js version of this be published?

[hrj]

I am not sure if this is feasible, but a scala-js version of this library would help me a lot, since I have a ton of existing code which I could start using on the client-side immediately.

Thanks,

We don't have plans to release a scala-js version of the Scala modules in the near term. Perhaps you could pose your question to the Scala JS Mailing List to see if any work has already been started by the community to bridge Scala's XML syntax to JS.

Closing as Won't Fix for now. But we're willing to consider a contribution if it is technically feasible.

Checked the ScalaJS ML; this was discussed before but no body published it.

I tried building with scala-js and it worked fine on first attempt! (I had been wary of getting lost in sbt land). I will test it further and try to make a PR. I am not familiar with publishing and have some doubts about code organisation.

SBT project organisation

The scala-js sbt plugin seems to require a separate (sub) project. For the JVM and JS targets to co-exist, it might require shuffling the scala code into a separate folder, say shared, that is used by two sub projects: a JVM project and a JS project.

Ideally, I want to avoid changing the code structure, so I will first try preserving it.

Publishing

I am not familiar with publishing artifacts to maven, etc. I was able to publish the artifact locally. Will probably leave the rest to the experts.

It would be great if you can release ScalaJS version of the lib. It's a Scala module and it should be more flexible than STD lib.

reopening, not because the Scala team plans to work on it, but in the hopes someone in the community will

At the moment, Scala.js with Scala 2.10 does compile XML literals. So I guess it is possible for Scala 2.11+ as well.

With the resulting fix from #109 , curious if it is worth publishing a new release so we can also get a compiled artifact for scala.js.

Not really an issue for this ticket, but would be great to have it mentioned on https://www.scala-js.org/libraries/libs.html once it is published.

Agreed, there is a demand for a published Scala.js artifact of scala-xml. IMO, there are a few bug fixes unrelated to Scala.js that would be worth including. They just need to get over the line and in to the release:
