getBackend

Tells which implementation compile uses on this machine, loading it if it was not loaded yet. The choice is made once per process and does not change.

Import#

import { getBackend } from "@shadow-js/compiler";

Signature#

function getBackend(): BackendInfo

Returns#

The implementation, where it came from, and why a faster one was not used.

Throws#

• Error When SHADOW_COMPILER_BACKEND names an implementation that cannot be loaded (native or wasm), or is not one of auto, native, wasm and javascript.

Examples#

import { getBackend } from "@shadow-js/compiler";

const { name } = getBackend();
console.log(["native", "wasm", "javascript"].includes(name)); // true
