The WebGLRenderingContext.createShader() method of the WebGL API creates a WebGLShader that can then be configured further using WebGLRenderingContext.shaderSource() and WebGLRenderingContext.compileShader().
WebGLShader gl.createShader(type);
typegl.VERTEX_SHADER or gl.FRAGMENT_SHADER
See WebGLShader for usage and examples.
