	~~Welcome to using Phidgets with JavaScript! By using JavaScript, you will have access to the complete Phidget22 API, including events.~~

	~~==Install Phidget Drivers for Node.js==~~
	~~Before getting started with the guides below, ensure you have the following components installed on your machine:~~

	# ~~You will need the~~ [[~~Operating_System_Support\|Phidgets Drivers]] installed on the server machine~~
	~~# You will need the Node.js Phidgets library. Use <code>npm install phidget22</code>~~

	~~=== Version Change ===~~
	'''Note:''' The Phidgets JavaScript library has been bumped to version 2.x.x following a rewrite. The version 2 API is mostly identical to version 1, but does have some breaking changes. It is highly recommended that any code written against version 1 be updated to version 2, as version 1 is considered unstable.

	~~== Phidget Network Server ==~~
	~~The JavaScript library requires the [[Phidget Network Server]]. Start by configuring the server for your OS:~~

	* [[OS - ~~Windows#Phidget Network Server\|Windows]]~~
	* [[OS - OS X#Phidget Network Server\|macOS]]
	* [[OS - Linux#Phidget Network Server\|Linux]]
	* [[OS - Phidget SBC#Phidget Network Server\|PhidgetSBC]]

	~~The Phidget Server includes a built-in Webserver. This must be enabled when using the JavaScript library in browser, but can be left disabled when using the library from Node.js.~~

	The Phidget Server Webserver can be used to serve files - such as the Phidget JavaScript library, or your own projects. By default, it serves the JavaScript control panel files. The main purpose of the Webserver is to support a Websockets connection for the Browser library - because regular sockets cannot be used in Browser. The Node.js library uses raw sockets to connect to the Phidget Server, and so does not require the Webserver or Websockets.

	~~==Using the Code Samples==~~
	~~To use the code sample from the [{{server}}/?view=code_samples&lang=~~JavaScript ~~Code Samples~~] ~~page, you can click the '''Download Example''' button to download a Java file with the sample code.~~

	~~Next, open the command prompt at the file location of your example and enter the following command:~~

	~~npm update~~

	~~Then enter the following command to run the example (replacing example.js with your example name):~~
	~~<syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>~~
	~~node example.js~~
	~~</syntaxhighlight>~~

	~~Success! Your program is now running with Phidgets.~~

The JavaScript library requires the [[Phidget Network Server]]. Start by configuring the server for your OS:

The Phidget Server includes a built-in Webserver. This must be enabled when using the JavaScript library in browser, but can be left disabled when using the library from Node.js.

Success! Your program is now running with Phidgets.
