# JavaScript

> How to use shadcn-svelte with JavaScript.

This project and the components are written in TypeScript. We recommend using TypeScript for your project as well.

However, we provide a JavaScript version of the components as well. The JavaScript version is *only* available via the [CLI](/cli).

To opt-out of TypeScript, you can use the `typescript` flag in your `components.json` file.

```json title="components.json" theme={null}
{
  "style": "default",
  "tailwind": {
    "css": "src/routes/layout.css"
  },
  "typescript": false,
  "aliases": {
    "utils": "$lib/utils",
    "components": "$lib/components",
    "hooks": "$lib/hooks",
    "ui": "$lib/components/ui"
  },
  "registry": "https://shadcn-svelte.com/registry"
}
```

To configure import aliases, create a `jsconfig.json` file:

```json title="jsconfig.json" theme={null}
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "paths": {
      "$lib/*": ["./src/lib/*"]
    }
  }
}
```
