# JavaScript support in Shopify Functions local developer preview

JavaScript support for Shopify Functions is now available in a local developer preview. This means you can try Shopify Functions with JavaScript locally, on your own development machine, but you can't deploy functions to production yet. We are releasing this preview now to get your feedback on our JavaScript development experience.

Learn more about JavaScript support for functions on [Shopify.dev](https://shopify.dev/api/functions/language-support/javascript).
