# Hologram v0.8.0: Elixir Gets JavaScript Interop

**[ElixirStatus](https://daily.dev/sources/elixirstatus)** · 6 min read · 12 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Hologram v0.8.0 introduces JavaScript interoperability as its most-requested feature, allowing Elixir developers to call JS functions, use npm packages, interact with Web APIs, instantiate classes, dispatch DOM events, and work with Web Components — all from Elixir code. The new Hologram.JS module provides a comprehensive API including js_import, JS.call, JS.get/set/delete, JS.new, JS.eval, and JS.dispatch_event. JavaScript Promises are mapped to Elixir Tasks, enabling async operations with Task.await/1. The release also adds Web Components template support, fixes language server recompilation loops (covering ElixirLS, Lexical, and Next LS), and refactors the Unicode module. A breaking change requires explicit use Hologram.JS in modules that use the ~JS sigil. The JS interop PR alone added over 7,000 lines across 150 files.
