'''Grooscript''' is a library that converts [[Groovy (programming language)|Apache Groovy]] code to [[JavaScript]] code. grooscript-x.y.z.jar is required to convert the Groovy code to Javascript, and grooscript.js is needed to run the generated code.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://grooscript.org/doc.html|title=Grooscript Documentation|date=12 Sep 2016}}</ref>
Although Grooscript has some limitations compared to Apache Groovy, it can use ___domain classes in both the server and the client. A typical development process is to create a dynamic single webpage application in Groovy, test its various parts with Spock, and use web sockets to speed up page reloading on the fly.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.infoq.com/presentations/grooscript|title=Presentation at SpringOne/2GX on Grooscript|date=13 Dec 2015}}</ref>
==Features==
Most valid Groovy files that will compile in Apache Groovy will convert to JavaScript using Grooscript. Setting up the conversion environment is as simple as putting
<source lang="groovy">
compile 'org.grooscript:grooscript:1.3.0', {
exclude module: "groovy"
}
</source>
in the [[Gradle]] build file.
Plugin support for [[Grails (framework)|Grails]] version 3.0 is provided, as well as online code conversions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://grooscript.org/conversions.html|title=Grooscript online conversions|date=15 May 2017}}</ref>
