Hello, I'm usually in the nim-webdev channel, can you use any js library in karax?

I'm really trying to figure out how to use https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db and maybe something like https://github.com/stellar/js-stellar-sdk.

If I could use karax for this that would be awesome.

Yes, but this isn't the right place for this discussion (this repository doesn't have any actual code related to Karax other than usage of the DSL). I would recommend looking at https://nim-lang.org/docs/jsffi.html along with asking folks in the Nim discord for examples of jsffi in Nim. It is pretty doable to be honest - the trickiest bit is working with types, as Nim is strongly typed and Javascript is dynamically typed.
