NuGet packages

The packages a generated binding depends on. The header of a generated file names the ones it needs.

Glutinum.Types

The ES library types the generator refers to that Fable.Core does not define: ReadonlyArray<'T>, ArrayLike<'T>, PromiseLike<'T>, Iterator<'T>, Generator<'T>, ReadonlyMap<'K, 'V> and their neighbours. It is generated from the lib.es*.d.ts files of TypeScript. Array, Date, Promise, Map, Set and the typed arrays are the ones of Fable.Core. Every binding needs it.

A ReadonlyArray<'T> is a sequence, Seq.map and for read it, and .[i] indexes it. Glutinum.Types.ReadonlyArray.ofArray, ofResizeArray, ofList and ofSeq build one. ofArray and ofResizeArray are casts, the array is the same object.

The static side of the globals is on Exports: Date with its constructor, and Number, String, Object, Symbol and Reflect with every member the library declares. A number stays a float, a string a string, an object an obj. JSON, Math, Promise, Map and Set are the ones of Fable.Core.

A generated binding needs Fable.Core 5.4.0 or later: a parameter that keeps its union type takes a value of any of its cases through the implicit conversions of U2 to U9.

open Glutinum.Types adds AsCase1..AsCase9 to U2..U9: the value as that case, unchecked. A named union generated by Glutinum has the same accessors named after its cases, path.AsString.

open type Glutinum.Types.TypeScript.Exports

let today = Date.Create(2026, 8, 17)
let stamp = Date.now ()
let whole = Number.isInteger 3.0
let text = String.fromCharCode (72.0, 105.0)
let keys = Object.keys {| a = 1 |}

dotnet add package Glutinum.Types

Glutinum.Web

The DOM, generated from @types/web. A binding referring to HTMLElement, Event, fetch or any browser API references this package.

open type Glutinum.Web.Exports

let button = document.querySelector "button"

Glutinum.Node

The Node.js API, generated from @types/node. The modules are under Glutinum.Node, their functions on their Exports type.

open Glutinum.Node

fs.Exports.readFileSync ("file.txt", "utf8")

Bindings of libraries

Bindings of JavaScript libraries are published as Glutinum.<Library> packages. The bindings page lists them.
