To begin a new project in the Brains@Play Framework, you'll need to include the WASL library in you JavaScript code. This can be done in a few different ways, depending on the needs of your project.
If you're using a standalone HTML page, it may be easiest to include WASL as a global variable using a script tag:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/wasl@latest"></script>
<script> console.log(wasl) </script>
As you get more familiar with ES Module syntax, however, it will be best to use ESM import syntax to include the library. This will work in browser and Node.js (v14+):
import * as wasl from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/wasl@latest/dist/index.esm.js' // Downloaded from a CDN
// import * as wasl from 'wasl' // Contained in Node Modules
console.log(wasl)Internally, we'll start our projects using the WASL Starter Kit. This template repository is preconfigured with an HTML file that compiles a template WASL application. Just serve the index.html file and edit the app folder to change its behavior!
After you've organized your project in the Brains@Play Framework, you're going to need to familiarize yourself with a few conventions before you develop your first application!
