Js_of_ocaml is a compiler from OCaml bytecode to Javascript. It makes it possible to run pure OCaml programs in JavaScript environments like web browsers and Node.js.

OPTIONS (TOPLEVEL)¶

--export=VAL

File containing the list of unit to export in a toplevel.

--nocmis, --no-cmis

Do not include cmis when compiling toplevel.

--toplevel

Compile a toplevel.

OPTIONS (FILESYSTEM)¶

--extern-fs

Configure pseudo-filesystem to allow registering files from outside. (default)

--file=FILE

Register [FILE] to the pseudo filesystem.

-I DIR

Add [DIR] to the list of include directories.

--no-extern-fs

Configure pseudo-filesystem to NOT allow registering files from outside.

--ofs=FILE

Output the filesystem to [FILE].

COMMANDS¶

build-fs

Js_of_ocaml pseudo filesystem utility

build-runtime

Build standalone runtime. Used for separate compilation.

compile

Js_of_ocaml compiler

link

Js_of_ocaml linker

print-standard-runtime

Print standard runtime to stdout

ARGUMENTS¶

JS_FILES

Link JavaScript files [JS_FILES]. One can refer to path relative to Findlib packages with the syntax '+pkg_name/file.js'

PROGRAM (required)

Compile the bytecode program [PROGRAM]. Use '-' to read from the standard input instead.

OPTIONS¶

--custom-header=VAL

Provide a custom header for the generated JavaScript file, useful for making the script an executable file with #!/usr/bin/env node

--debug=SECTION

enable debug [SECTION].

--debuginfo, --debug-info

Output debug information.

--disable=OPT

Disable optimization [OPT].

--dynlink

Enable dynlink.

--enable=OPT

Enable optimization [OPT].

--help[=FMT] (default=auto)

Show this help in format FMT. The value FMT must be one of `auto', `pager', `groff' or `plain'. With `auto', the format is `pager` or `plain' whenever the TERM env var is `dumb' or undefined.

--keep-unit-names

Keep unit name

--linkall

Link all primitives.

--no-sourcemap, --no-source-map

Don't generate source map. All other source map related flags will be be ignored.

--noinline, --no-inline

Disable inlining.

--noruntime, --no-runtime

Do not include the standard runtime.

-o FILE

Set output file name to [FILE].

--opt=NUM

Set optimization profile : [NUM].

--pretty

Pretty print the output.

-q, --quiet

suppress non-error messages.

--runtime-only

[DEPRECATED: use js_of_ocaml build-runtime instead]. Generate a JavaScript file containing/exporting the runtime only.

--set=PARAM=VALUE

Set compiler options.

--setenv=PARAM=VALUE

Set environment variable statically.

--source-map-inline

Inline sourcemap in the generated JavaScript.

--source-map-no-source

Do not inline sources in source map.

--source-map-root=VAL

root dir for source map.

--sourcemap, --source-map

Generate source map.

--version
