Supporting Scala.js / Scala Native on the server #1743

Open kubukoz opened 1 year ago

kubukoz commented 1 year ago

Hi! I'm working on the Smithy4s interop for Caliban on the server, in which you could derive a Schema for a Smithy service.

This works fine on the JVM, but Smithy4s supports the two other platforms as well (Native only on Scala 3, though), and I would love to get at least some of that working with Caliban. This would clearly require Caliban to cross-compile as well.

I see that there's Scala.js in the build already, but it seems to be limited to the laminext and client modules.

As far as blockers/difficulties go, I'm only aware of:

If there's anything else you know of, such as any required dependencies that aren't being cross-published, let me know please! I'm happy to get the ball rolling on adding the build axes and getting the shared part of the server to cross-publish. Specifically I'm interested in caliban-cats.

We had Scala.js cross-compiling for the server a long time ago but dropped it because it was annoying dependency-wise and there was nobody using it.

What would be the use case? None of the http libraries behind the adapters support Scala.js nor Scala Native AFAIK.

Http4s works on both of these platforms :)

Oh I see, I was looking at the weird versions here https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.http4s/http4s-dsl

The issues I see for the core module only:

Since my previous message, we switched to the latest magnolia and there's a version of play-json for Scala.js. That means we should be able to support Scala.js easily now

For Scala native, i see zio-Json supports it now so the only blocker might be zio-query which is probably easy to port.
