Val Town Docs

Val Town is a social website to write and deploy JavaScript. Create APIs, websites, scheduled functions, email yourself, and persist data — all from the browser and instantly deployed.

• Vals are runnable JavaScript, TypeScript, and JSX modules
• Vals can import other vals, NPM, and more ↗
• Vals can be public, unlisted, or private ↗
• Vals are run via the Deno runtime

There are four different kinds of vals:

• Script - freeform, run manually, for one-off operations or testing
• HTTP - expose an API endpoint, make a website, or accept webhooks
• Cron - trigger code on a timer or cron schedule
• Email - trigger code on an incoming email

The Val Town Standard Library provides a set of useful services:

• Blob Storage - store and retrieve any data
• SQLite - store and retrieve structured data
• Email - send emails

You can also use Val Town programmatically using the Val Town SDK.
