Learning Resources

Scriptable uses Apple's JavaScriptCore, which supports ECMAScript 6. This page includes our recommendations for some of the best external resources available to learn JavaScript.

Learning Javascript

• W3Schools JavaScript tutorial.
• Codecademy
• MDN Web Docs

caution

Some guides and tutorials will assume that you're running JavaScript in a browser and therefore have access to browser-specific objects, such as window, document, and navigator. Scriptable does not run JavaScript in a browser, so such objects do not exist.

Learning HTML & CSS

• W3Schools' HTML & CSS tutorials.
• W3Schools' HTML Javascript & Javascript DOM CSS for implementing HTML and CSS into Javascript.

Learning regular expressions (RegEx)

• RegexOne
• W3Schools (for implementing RegEx in JavaScript)
