Haiku browser with “modern JavaScript support”?

chaplintokyo · October 19, 2024, 9:45am

Hi,

Trying to see whether I can get Astro (node.js based static site generator) running on Haiku.

Of the requirements I found that HaikuDepot has Node.js v20.15.1.

The other thing I need to get the thing running is a web browser with ‘modern JavaScript support’. Now which of the browsers on Haiku would best fit that requirement? Thanks.

Browser compatibility

Astro is built with Vite which targets browsers with modern JavaScript support by default. For a complete reference, you can see the list of currently supported browser versions in Vite

Most browsers on Haiku should be modern enough to run Astro.
I’m not entirely sure about the QtWebKit-based ones like Otter Browser,but WebPositive,GNOME Web and the QtWebEngine-based ones should work.
