Right now I have a library that is targeting javascript and I want to use it in a project that targets erlang, is there an easy way to do interop between the two of them? Or are the targets for each isolated?

the compiler doesnt care what you put in target field for packages. it anaylses the api per-function to determine what can be used on what target
dapper lodge
How would it work then if the function cannot be used? For example I'm using javascript_dom_parser to get the dom tree for the library but I need the output of this in the project running in the erlang target, would there need to be a fallback on javascript_dom_parser for this to work?

if you write one yeah
if you dont write one the project wont compile because theres no implementation for that function for the given target
dapper lodge
I see. Ok I'll look into adding some extra bindings for fallback
cunning crescent
if its not your project and the package doesnt have a fallback or erlang implementation you're out of luck
thats just kinda how multi-target stuff works im afraid ^.^

got it got it
