Bridge JavaScript and Zig through `.classes.ts` definitions and Zig implementations.
## Architecture
1. **Zig Implementation** (.zig files)
2. **JavaScript Interface Definition** (.classes.ts files)
3. **Generated Code** (C++/Zig files connecting them)
## Class Definition (.classes.ts)
```typescript
define({
name: "TextDecoder",
constructor: true,
JSType: "object",
finalize: true,
proto: {
decode: { args: 1 },
encoding: { getter: true, cache: true },
fatal: { getter: true },
},
});
```
Options:
- `name`: Class name
- `constructor`: Has public constructor
- `JSType`: "object", "function", etc.
- `finalize`: Needs cleanup
- `proto`: Properties/methods
- `cache`: Cache property values via WriteBarrier
## Zig Implementation
```zig
pub const TextDecoder = struct {
pub const js = JSC.Codegen.JSTextDecoder;
pub const toJS = js.toJS;
pub const fromJS = js.fromJS;
pub const fromJSDirect = js.fromJSDirect;
encoding: []const u8,
fatal: bool,
pub fn constructor(
globalObject: *JSGlobalObject,
callFrame: *JSC.CallFrame,
) bun.JSError!*TextDecoder {
return bun.new(TextDecoder, .{ .encoding = "utf-8", .fatal = false });
}
pub fn decode(
this: *TextDecoder,
globalObject: *JSGlobalObject,
callFrame: *JSC.CallFrame,
) bun.JSError!JSC.JSValue {
const args = callFrame.arguments();
if (args.len < 1 or args.ptr[0].isUndefinedOrNull()) {
return globalObject.throw("Input cannot be null", .{});
}
return JSC.JSValue.jsString(globalObject, "result");
}
pub fn getEncoding(this: *TextDecoder, globalObject: *JSGlobalObject) JSC.JSValue {
return JSC.JSValue.createStringFromUTF8(globalObject, this.encoding);
}
fn deinit(this: *TextDecoder) void {
// Release resources
}
pub fn finalize(this: *TextDecoder) void {
this.deinit();
