+ 
+Welcome to the wasm-pack docs!
+This tool seeks to be a one-stop shop for building and working with rust-
+generated WebAssembly that you would like to interop with JavaScript, in the
+browser or with Node.js. wasm-pack helps you build rust-generated
+WebAssembly packages that you could publish to the npm registry, or otherwise use
+alongside any javascript packages in workflows that you already use, such as webpack.
+This project is a part of the rust-wasm group. You can find more info by
+visiting that repo!
+
+
+
+- Install
rust using rustup.
+- Install this tool.
+- Run
wasm-pack new hello-wasm.
+cd hello-wasm- Run
wasm-pack build.
+- This tool generates files in a
pkg dir
+- To publish to npm, run
wasm-pack publish. You may need to login to the
+registry you want to publish to. You can login using wasm-pack login.
+
+
+First you'll want to install the wasm-pack CLI, and wasm-pack -V should print the version that you just installed.
+Next, since wasm-pack is a build tool, you'll want to make sure you have
+Rust installed. Make sure rustc -V prints out at least 1.30.0.
+Finally, if you're using wasm-pack to publish to NPM, you'll want
+to install and configure npm. In the future, we intend to rewrite the
+npm registry client bits so that the need for a Node runtime is eliminated. If
+you're excited about that work- you should reach out to the maintainers and get
+involved!
+Using a non-rustup setup? Learn how to configure it for wasm-pack here.
+
+Currently, wasm-pack requires that you have npm installed to pack and publish your
+package. Longterm, this will be replaced by a Rust only version.
+If you would rather use another package manager that interfaces with the npm registry
+you may, however, the pack, publish, and login commands wrap the npm CLI interface
+and as a result require that npm be installed.
+You can install npm by following these instructions.
+
+Part of the wasm-pack workflow is to publish your package to the npm Registry.
+Regardless of which package manager CLI tool you prefer, if you wish to publish
+your package to the npm registry you'll need an npm account.
+You can find information about signing up for npm here.
+
+Currently, wasm-pack generated npm modules require us to you have fetch polyfill in your node project.
+If there is a module from wasm-pack build --target nodejs you may encounter some errors regarding global Headers, Request, Response and fetch Web APIs.
+
+ReqwestError(reqwest::Error { kind: Builder, source: "JsValue(ReferenceError: Headers is not defined
+ReqwestError(reqwest::Error { kind: Builder, source: "JsValue(ReferenceError: Request is not defined
+
+ var ret = getObject(arg0) instanceof Response;
+ReferenceError: Response is not defined
+
+
+Import or declare fetch and objects: Headers, Request, Response
+// CommonJS
+const fetch = require('node-fetch');
+
+// ES Module
+import fetch from 'node-fetch';
+
+// @ts-ignore
+global.fetch = fetch;
+// @ts-ignore
+global.Headers = fetch.Headers;
+// @ts-ignore
+global.Request = fetch.Request;
+// @ts-ignore
+global.Response = fetch.Response;
+
+
+wasm-pack compiles your code using the wasm32-unknown-unknown target. wasm-pack will automatically add this target for Rustup setups if you don't already have it installed by doing rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown. However, if you're not using Rustup, then we won't be able to do this automatically, and you'll have to do this yourself.
+
+Disclaimer: This is not guaranteed to work for every setup. These instructions below are specific for setups that match the exact rustc release, which means that the downloaded wasm32 target can be incompatible.
+To manually add the wasm32-unknown-unknown target you will need to download it from the rust-lang website and put the contents in the correct folder.
+All the targets for all the different rustc versions are not presented in a human way on a website (yet) for you to just select the one you want and download it, one reason for this is that Rustup handles all of this for you and the packaging of targets was mainly built for tools. However, the following steps will walk through how to do this.
+First, check what version of rustc you're using by running rustc --version. This should display something like: rustc 1.33.0 (2aa4c46cf 2019-02-28). Then you need to download the correct wasm32 target for your rustc version. The rustc version is part of the url, which means for rustc 1.33.0 the url will look like this: https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-std-1.33.0-wasm32-unknown-unknown.tar.gz.
+Here's some examples of urls for different rustc versions:
+
+- Nightly https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-std-nightly-wasm32-unknown-unknown.tar.gz
+- Specific date nightly (2019-03-10) https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/2019-03-10/rust-std-nightly-wasm32-unknown-unknown.tar.gz
+- Beta https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-std-beta-wasm32-unknown-unknown.tar.gz
+
+You should be able to download this either by doing wget https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-std-1.33.0-wasm32-unknown-unknown.tar.gz or by just visiting the url in a web browser.
+After you have downloaded this tarball at a location of your choice, you should unpack it. This should result in a folder named rust-std-1.33.0-wasm32-unknown-unknown that contains some folders and files, but the interesting one is a folder called rust-std-wasm32-unknown-unknown which contains a lib and that should contain a rustlib folder and in that, a folder called wasm32-unknown-unknown. This is the folder we want to move.
+Here's how the structure should look like for rustc 1.33.0:
+rust-std-1.33.0-wasm32-unknown-unknown
+├── components
+├── install.sh
+├── rust-installer-version
+└── rust-std-wasm32-unknown-unknown
+ ├── lib
+ │ └── rustlib
+ │ └── wasm32-unknown-unknown
+
+To know where we should move this wasm32-unknown-unknown folder we need to run rustc --print sysroot which should print a path that looks something like this (this will vary on different operating systems): /home/user/rust/rust-1.33.0-2019-02-28-2aa4c46cf. That folder should contain a lib folder that contains a rustlib folder. We should move the wasm32-unknown-unknown to this folder.
+On unix-like operating systems we can do that with the following command:
+mv rust-std-1.33.0-wasm32-unknown-unknown/rust-std-wasm32-unknown-unknown/lib/rustlib/wasm32-unknown-unknown /home/user/rust/rust-1.33.0-2019-02-28-2aa4c46cf/lib/rustlib/ and that should be it!
+
+wasm-pack has several commands to help you during the process of building
+a Rust-generated WebAssembly project.
+
+new: This command generates a new project for you using a template. Learn morebuild: This command builds a pkg directory for you with compiled wasm and generated JS. Learn morepack and publish: These commands will create a tarball, and optionally publish it to a registry, such as npm. Learn more
+
+
+init: This command has been deprecated in favor of build.
+
+By default wasm-pack displays a lot of useful information.
+You can cause it to display even more information by using --verbose, or you can silence all stdout by using --quiet.
+You can also use --log-level to have fine-grained control over wasm-pack's log output:
+
+--log-level info is the default, it causes all messages to be logged.--log-level warn causes warnings and errors to be displayed, but not info.--log-level error causes only errors to be displayed.
+These flags are global flags, so they can be used with every command, and they must come before the command:
+wasm-pack --log-level error build
+wasm-pack --quiet build
+wasm-pack --verbose build
+
+
+The wasm-pack new command creates a new RustWasm project for you,
+using cargo-generate under the hood.
+It takes 3 parameters, name, template, and mode:
+wasm-pack new <name> --template <template> --mode <normal|noinstall|force>
+
+The default template is rustwasm/wasm-pack-template.
+
+The wasm-pack new command must be given a name argument, e.g.:
+wasm-pack new myproject
+
+
+The wasm-pack new command can be given an optional template argument, e.g.:
+wasm-pack new myproject --template https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-pack-template
+
+The template can be an address to a git repo that contains a cargo-generate
+template.
+
+The wasm-pack new command can be given an optional mode argument, e.g.:
+wasm-pack new myproject --mode noinstall
+
+The mode passed can be either "normal", "noinstall", or "force". "normal" is passed by
+default.
+noinstall means that wasm-pack should not attempt to install any underlying tools.
+If a necessary tool cannot be found, the command will error.
+force means that wasm-pack should not check the local Rust version. If a local Rust
+is an unacceptable Rust version, the command will error.
+
+The wasm-pack build command creates the files necessary for JavaScript
+interoperability and for publishing a package to npm. This involves compiling
+your code to wasm and generating a pkg folder. This pkg folder will contain the
+wasm binary, a JS wrapper file, your README, and a package.json file.
+The pkg directory is automatically .gitignored by default, since it contains
+build artifacts which are not intended to be checked into version
+control.0
+
+The wasm-pack build command can be given an optional path argument, e.g.:
+wasm-pack build examples/js-hello-world
+
+This path should point to a directory that contains a Cargo.toml file. If no
+path is given, the build command will run in the current directory.
+
+By default, wasm-pack will generate a directory for its build output called pkg.
+If you'd like to customize this you can use the --out-dir flag.
+wasm-pack build --out-dir out
+
+The above command will put your build artifacts in a directory called out, instead
+of the default pkg.
+
+Flag --out-name sets the prefix for output file names. If not provided, package name is used instead.
+Usage examples, assuming our crate is named dom:
+wasm-pack build
+# will produce files
+# dom.d.ts dom.js dom_bg.d.ts dom_bg.wasm package.json README.md
+
+wasm-pack build --out-name index
+# will produce files
+# index.d.ts index.js index_bg.d.ts index_bg.wasm package.json README.md
+
+
+The build command accepts an optional profile argument: one of --dev,
+--profiling, or --release. If none is supplied, then --release is used.
+This controls whether debug assertions are enabled, debug info is generated, and
+which (if any) optimizations are enabled.
+| Profile | Debug Assertions | Debug Info | Optimizations | Notes |
|---|
+--dev | Yes | Yes | No | Useful for development and debugging. |
+--profiling | No | Yes | Yes | Useful when profiling and investigating performance issues. |
+--release | No | No | Yes | Useful for shipping to production. |
+
+
The --dev profile will build the output package using cargo's default
+non-release profile. Building this way is
+faster but applies few optimizations to the output, and enables debug assertions
+and other runtime correctness checks. The --profiling and --release profiles
+use cargo's release profile, but the former enables debug info as well, which
+helps when investigating performance issues in a profiler.
+The exact meaning of the profile flags may evolve as the platform matures.
+
+The build command accepts a --target argument. This will customize the JS
+that is emitted and how the WebAssembly files are instantiated and loaded. For
+more documentation on the various strategies here, see the documentation on
+using the compiled output.
+wasm-pack build --target nodejs
+
+| Option | Usage | Description |
|---|
+not specified or bundler | Bundler | Outputs JS that is suitable for interoperation with a Bundler like Webpack. You'll import the JS and the module key is specified in package.json. sideEffects: false is by default. |
+nodejs | Node.js | Outputs JS that uses CommonJS modules, for use with a require statement. main key in package.json. |
+web | Native in browser | Outputs JS that can be natively imported as an ES module in a browser, but the WebAssembly must be manually instantiated and loaded. |
+no-modules | Native in browser | Same as web, except the JS is included on a page and modifies global state, and doesn't support as many wasm-bindgen features as web |
+
+
The build command also accepts an optional --scope argument. This will scope
+your package name, which is useful if your package name might conflict with
+something in the public registry. For example:
+wasm-pack build examples/js-hello-world --scope test
+
+This command would create a package.json file for a package called
+@test/js-hello-world. For more information about scoping, you can refer to
+the npm documentation here.
+
+The build command accepts an optional --mode argument.
+wasm-pack build examples/js-hello-world --mode no-install
+
+| Option | Description |
|---|
+no-install | wasm-pack build implicitly and create wasm binding without installing wasm-bindgen. |
+normal | do all the stuffs of no-install with installed wasm-bindgen. |
+
+
The build command can pass extra options straight to cargo build even if
+they are not supported in wasm-pack. To use them simply add the extra arguments
+at the very end of your command, just as you would for cargo build. For
+example, to build the previous example using cargo's offline feature:
+wasm-pack build examples/js-hello-world --mode no-install -- --offline
+
+
+ If you need to include additional assets in the pkg
+directory and your NPM package, we intend to have a solution for your use case
+soon. ↩
+
+The wasm-pack test command wraps the wasm-bindgen-test-runner
+CLI allowing you to run wasm tests in different browsers without needing to install the different
+webdrivers yourself.
+wasm-pack test --help
+
+
+The wasm-pack test command can be given an optional path argument.
+This path should point to a directory that contains a Cargo.toml file. If no
+path is given, the test command will run in the current directory.
+# Run tests for the current directory's crate
+wasm-pack test
+
+# Run tests for a specified crate
+wasm-pack test crates/crate-in-my-workspace
+
+
+The test command accepts an optional profile argument: --release.
+If none is supplied, then a debug test build will be used.
+
+Choose where to run your tests by passing in any combination of testing environment flags.
+--headless is useful for running browser tests in a headless browser as part of a CI process.
+wasm-pack test --node --firefox --chrome --safari --headless
+
+
+The test command can pass extra options straight to cargo test even if they are not
+supported in wasm-pack.
+To use them simply add the extra arguments at the very end of your command, just
+as you would for cargo test.
+cargo test -h for a list of all options that you can pass through.
+
+When debugging a specific issue, you may find yourself wanting to run a subset of tests, instead of your entire suite of tests.
+Here are a few examples of how to run a subset of your tests:
+# Example directory structure
+$ tree crates/foo
+├── Cargo.toml
+├── README.md
+├── src
+│ ├── diff
+│ │ ├── diff_test_case.rs
+│ │ └── mod.rs
+│ ├── lib.rs
+└── tests
+ ├── diff_patch.rs
+ └── node.rs
+
+# Run all tests in tests/diff_patch.rs in Firefox
+wasm-pack test crates/foo --firefox --headless --test diff_patch
+
+# Run all tests in tests/diff_patch.rs that contain the word "replace"
+wasm-pack test crates/foo --firefox --headless --test diff_patch replace
+
+# Run all tests inside of a `tests` module inside of src/lib/diff.rs
+wasm-pack test crates/foo --firefox --headless --lib diff::tests
+
+# Same as the above, but only if they contain the word replace
+wasm-pack test crates/foo --firefox --headless --lib diff::tests::replace
+
+Note that you can also filter tests by location in which they're supposed to
+run. For example:
+# Run all tests which are intended to execute in Node.js
+wasm-pack test --node
+
+# Run all tests which are intended to be executed in a browser
+wasm-pack test --firefox --headless
+
+
+The publish and pack commands interact with the pkg directory that's
+created when you run wasm-pack build. The pack command creates a tarball
+from the pkg directory and the publish command creates a tarball from the
+pkg directory and publishes it to the NPM registry.
+Underneath, these commands use npm pack and npm publish. You can read
+more about these in the NPM documentation:
+
+Both these commands take the path to the pkg directory as the first argument.
+You can either set the argument directly to the pkg directory or to the parent
+of the pkg directory:
+$ wasm-pack pack myproject/pkg
+| 🎒 packed up your package!
+$ wasm-pack pack myproject
+| 🎒 packed up your package!
+
+If you try to call pack or publish on another directory, you get an error:
+$ wasm-pack pack myproject/src/
+Unable to find the pkg directory at path 'myproject/src/', or in a child directory of 'myproject/src/'
+
+If you don't set a path, they use the current directory as the path.
+
+You can also publish tagged releases with the optional --tag argument, e.g.
+wasm-pack publish --tag next
+
+By default, the latest tag is used to identify the current version of a package,
+and npm install <pkg> (without any @<version> or @<tag> specifier) installs the latest tag.
+You can read more about distribution tags on NPM.
+
+This command has been deprecated in favor of build, which does the same thing, but is
+a much more representative name for the command. Read the docs for build.
+
+We have two tutorials that help you get started with wasm-pack:
+
+
+The goal of this tutorial is to introduce you to the rust-webpack-template
+and the wasm-pack workflow by building the example app in the template.
+This tutorial is aimed at folks who are both beginners to WebAssembly and Rust- you don't need
+much Rust knowledge to complete this tutorial.
+Be sure to have read and followed the Prerequisites.
+
+You can create a new Rust-WebAssembly webpack project by using the rustwasm webpack-template.
+Run:
+npm init rust-webpack my-app
+
+The last argument will be your project name. After you run the command, you will have a
+directory with a new project, ready to go. We'll talk about what's been included in this
+template further in this guide.
+
+The Rust Webpack template is designed for creating monorepo-style Web applications with
+Rust-generated WebAssembly and Webpack without publishing your wasm to NPM.
+This portion of the tutorial will explain how to build a Webpack JavaScript project
+that will run your WebAssembly code in the browser.
+
+To generate a new Rust Webpack project, we've used the rust-webpack npm template.
+npm init rust-webpack your-package-name
+
+A new project folder will be created with the name you supply.
+If we look in the project, we'll see the following:
+
+.gitignore: ignores node_modulesLICENSE-APACHE and LICENSE-MIT: most Rust projects are licensed this way, so these are included for youREADME.md: the file you are reading now!index.html: a bare bones html document that includes the webpack bundlejs/index.js: example JS file with a comment showing how to import and use a wasm pkgpackage.json and package-lock.json:
+
+- pulls in devDependencies for using webpack:
+
+
+- defines a
start script to run webpack-dev-server
+
+webpack.config.js: configuration file for bundling your JS with webpackcrate/src/lib.rs: your Rust crate code!
+
+The scaffolded project includes an example Rust WebAssembly webpack crate.
+Inside the crate/src/lib.rs file we see a run function that's callable from our JS file:
+#![allow(unused)]
+fn main() {
+// Called by our JS entry point to run the example.
+#[wasm_bindgen]
+pub fn run() -> Result<(), JsValue> {
+ set_panic_hook();
+
+ // ...
+ let p: web_sys::Node = document.create_element("p")?.into();
+ p.set_text_content(Some("Hello from Rust, WebAssembly, and Webpack!"));
+ // ...
+
+ Ok(())
+}
+}
+Now, open up the js/index.js file. We see our Rust-generated wasm run function being
+called inside our JS file.
+import("../crate/pkg").then(module => {
+ module.run();
+});
+
+
+To generate our Rust-compiled to wasm code, in the root directory we run:
+npm run build
+
+This will create our bundled JavaScript module in a new directory dist.
+We should be ready to run our project now!
+In the root directory, we'll run:
+npm start
+
+Then in a web browser navigate to http://localhost:8080 and you should be greeted
+with text in the body of the page that says "Hello from Rust, WebAssembly, and Webpack!"
+If you did congrats! You've successfully used the rust-webpack template!
+
+The goal of this tutorial is to introduce you to the wasm-pack workflow by building a small npm
+package designed to be used in a browser application.
+This tutorial is aimed at folks who are both beginners to WebAssembly and Rust- you don't need
+much Rust knowledge to complete this tutorial.
+Be sure to have done the following before starting:
+
+- Install
wasm-pack
+- Read and install the Prerequisites.
+
+⚠️ We strongly recommend that you install Node.js using a version manager. You can learn more here.
+
+You can create a new Rust-WebAssembly project by using the rustwasm wasm-pack-template.
+To so do, you'll need the cargo-generate tool. To install cargo-generate:
+cargo install cargo-generate
+
+Then run:
+cargo generate --git https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-pack-template
+
+You will be prompted to give your project a name. Once you do, you will have a directory
+with a new project, ready to go. We'll talk about what's been included in this template
+further in this guide.
+
+⚠️ If you'd rather not use a template, or are having trouble with the template, you can
+do a manual setup by following these instructions.
+
+⚠️ This is not the recommended way to start a wasm-pack project! If you ended up
+here by mistake, go check out our recommended project start.
+
+You can create a new Rust project named my-lib using this command.
+cargo new --lib my-lib
+
+The --lib flag specifies that the project is a library, which is important
+because we will be calling this code from JavaScript.
+
+
+You will need to add wasm-bindgen to your Cargo.toml in the dependencies
+section. wasm-bindgen is a tool that facilitates interoperability between
+wasm modules and JavaScript.
+⚠️ If you are coming from JavaScript, you might note that when we add the dependency
+there is no ^ or ~ symbol- it looks like we're locking to the 0.2 version.
+However, that's not the case! In Rust, the ^ is implied.
+
+Next, add a [lib] section, with a new field named crate-type set to
+"cdylib". This specifies that the library is a C compatible dynamic library,
+which helps cargo pass the correct flags to the Rust compiler when targeting
+wasm32.
+After making these changes, your Cargo.toml file should look something like
+this:
+[package]
+name = "hello-wasm"
+version = "0.1.0"
+authors = ["Ashley Williams <ashley666ashley@gmail.com>"]
+description = "babby's first wasm package"
+license = "MIT OR Apache-2.0"
+repository = "https://github.com/ashleygwilliams/hello-wasm"
+
+[lib]
+crate-type = ["cdylib"]
+
+[dependencies]
+wasm-bindgen="0.2"
+
+
+Now that your crate is correctly configured in your Cargo.toml file, the only step
+left to setup your project is to have some Rust code in your src/lib.rs file.
+
+The template we have gives you a quick "Hello, World" project to use for compiling into
+a WebAssembly library that you can use in the browser:
+#![allow(unused)]
+fn main() {
+extern crate wasm_bindgen;
+
+use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;
+
+#[wasm_bindgen]
+extern {
+ fn alert(s: &str);
+}
+
+#[wasm_bindgen]
+pub fn greet() {
+ alert("Hello, World!");
+}
+}
+And that's it! We'll talk about what this code does in the template deep dive, which you are all
+setup for now. Happy wasm-packing!
+
+⚠️ This section is a deep dive into the contents of the files of a "Hello, World" project,
+specifically written for people who are not that familiar with Rust. If you'd rather just
+checkout the workflow, feel free to skip this section!
+⚠️ If you haven't used a template to set up your project, the contents of your files
+may look slightly different than what is described here.
+
+Let's start by taking a look at what the template generated for us.
+
+
+Cargo.toml is the manifest file for Rust's package manager, cargo. This file contains
+metadata such as name, version, and dependencies for packages, which are call "crates" in Rust.
+There's a bunch of metadata that the template gives us, but there are three key parts to discuss:
+
+crate-typewasm-bindgen dependency[features] and wee_alloc, console_error_panic_hook dependencies
+
+
+[lib]
+crate-type = ["cdylib", "rlib"]
+
+A Rust-wasm crate is a bit different from a normal crate, and as a result, we need to note
+this in our Cargo.toml.
+This [lib] annotation is typically not needed in Cargo projects, and if you're
+familiar with other Rust crates you'll remember that the most common crate types
+are rlib (the default) or bin for binaries (which don't need a crate-type
+annotation).
+Here though crate-type = ["cdylib"] typically signifies that you'd like the
+compiler to create a dynamic system library, but for WebAssembly target it
+simply means "create a *.wasm file without a start function". On other
+platforms this output type will create *.so file on Linux, *.dylib on
+macOS, and *.dll Windows.
+We also specify crate-type = ["rlib"] to ensure that our library can be unit
+tested with wasm-pack test (which we'll see later). Without this we wouldn't
+be able to test our library because the cdylib crate type is incompatible with
+wasm-pack's style of unit tests.
+You can read more about linking and crate types, here.
+
+wasm-bindgen is our most important dependency. This package allows us to use the
+#[wasm-bindgen] attribute to tag code that represents the interface we want between
+our JavaScript and Rust-generated wasm. We can import JS and export Rust by using this
+attribute.
+wasm-bindgen = "0.2"
+
+We'll see more about how to use this library when we discuss what has been generated in lib.rs.
+⚠️ If you are coming from JavaScript, you might note that when we add the dependency
+there is no ^ or ~ symbol- it looks like we're locking to the 0.2 version.
+However, that's not the case! In Rust, the ^ is implied. You can read more about this in the
+cargo documentation on specifying dependencies.
+
+As part of our effort to design a template that helps people discover useful crates
+for their particular use case, this template includes two dependencies that can be
+very useful for folks developing Rust-wasm crates:[ console_error_panic_hook] and
+wee_alloc.
+Because these dependencies are useful primarily in a specific portion of the Rust-wasm
+crate development workflow, we've also set up a bit of glue code that allows us to include
+them both as dependencies, but also allows them to be optionally included.
+[features]
+default = ["console_error_panic_hook"]
+
+[dependencies]
+wasm-bindgen = "0.2"
+
+# The `console_error_panic_hook` crate provides better debugging of panics by
+# logging them with `console.error`. This is great for development, but requires
+# all the `std::fmt` and `std::panicking` infrastructure, so isn't great for
+# code size when deploying.
+console_error_panic_hook = { version = "0.1.1", optional = true }
+
+# `wee_alloc` is a tiny allocator for wasm that is only ~1K in code size
+# compared to the default allocator's ~10K. It is slower than the default
+# allocator, however.
+#
+# Unfortunately, `wee_alloc` requires nightly Rust when targeting wasm for now.
+wee_alloc = { version = "0.4.2", optional = true }
+
+In our code, we'll mark certain parts of code as running only if certain [features]
+are enabled, specifically, console_error_panic_hook and wee_alloc. By default,
+only console_error_panic_hook is enabled. To disable or enable either feature, by
+default, we can edit the default vector under [features].
+To learn more about these features, we discuss them in-depth in the src/lib.rs and
+src/utils.rs sections.
+Briefly, they include:
+
+- console_error_panic_hook for logging panic messages to the developer console.
+- wee_alloc, an allocator optimized for small code size.
+
+
+lib.rs is the template's main source file. The name lib.rs commonly implies that this Rust project will be compiled as a library.
+It contains three key parts:
+
+#[wasm_bindgen] functions- Crate imports
+wee_alloc optional dependecy
+
+
+
+We'll start with the most important part of lib.rs -- the two #[wasm_bindgen] functions (which you can find at the bottom of the file). In many cases, this is the only part of lib.rs you will need to modify.
+
+To expose functionality from the wasm-bindgen crate more conveniently we can use the use keyword.
+use allows us to conveniently refer to parts of a crate or module. You can learn more about how Rust
+lets you write modular code in this chapter of the book.
+#![allow(unused)]
+fn main() {
+use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;
+}
+Many crates contain a prelude, a list of things that are convenient to import
+all at once. This allows common features of the module to be conveniently
+accessed without a lengthy prefix. For example, in this file we can use
+#[wasm_bindgen] only because it is brought into scope by the prelude.
+The asterisk at the end of this use indicates that everything inside the module wasm_bindgen::prelude (i.e. the module prelude inside the crate wasm_bindgen) can be referred to without prefixing it with wasm_bindgen::prelude.
+For example, #[wasm_bindgen] could also be written as #[wasm_bindgen::prelude::wasm_bindgen], although this is not recommended.
+
+The #[wasm_bindgen] attribute indicates that the function below it will be accessible both in JavaScript and Rust.
+#![allow(unused)]
+fn main() {
+#[wasm_bindgen]
+extern {
+ fn alert(s: &str);
+}
+}
+The extern block imports the external JavaScript function alert into Rust. This declaration is required to call alert from Rust. By declaring it in this way, wasm-bindgen will create JavaScript stubs for alert which allow us to pass strings back and forth between Rust and JavaScript.
+We can see that the alert function requires a single parameter s of type &str, a string. In Rust, any string literal such as "Hello, test-wasm!" is of type &str. So, alert could be called by writing alert("Hello, test-wasm!");.
+We knew to declare alert in this way because it is how we would call alert in JavaScript -- by passing it a string argument.
+#![allow(unused)]
+fn main() {
+#[wasm_bindgen]
+pub fn greet() {
+ alert("Hello, test-wasm!");
+}
+}
+If we were to write the greet function without the #[wasm_bindgen] attribute, then greet would not be easily accessible within JavaScript. Furthermore, we wouldn't be able to natively convert certain types such as &str between JavaScript and Rust. So, both the #[wasm_bindgen] attribute and the prior import of alert allow greet to be called from JavaScript.
+This is all you need to know to interface with JavaScript, at least to start! You can learn a bunch more by reading the
+wasm-bindgen documentation!
+If you are curious about the rest, read on.
+
+#![allow(unused)]
+fn main() {
+mod utils;
+}
+This statement declares a new module named utils that is defined by the contents of utils.rs. Equivalently, we could place the contents of utils.rs inside the utils declaration, replacing the line with:
+#![allow(unused)]
+fn main() {
+mod utils {
+ // contents of utils.rs
+}
+}
+Either way, the contents of utils.rs define a single public function set_panic_hook. Because we are placing it inside the utils module, we will be able to call the function directly by writing utils::set_panic_hook(). We will discuss how and why to use this function in src/utils.rs.
+#![allow(unused)]
+fn main() {
+ // When the `wee_alloc` feature is enabled, use `wee_alloc` as the global
+ // allocator.
+ if #[cfg(feature = "wee_alloc")] {
+ #[global_allocator] static ALLOC: wee_alloc::WeeAlloc = wee_alloc::WeeAlloc::INIT;
+}
+At compile time this will test if the wee_alloc feature is enabled for this
+compilation. If it's enabled we'll configure a global allocator (according to
+wee_alloc's docs), otherwise it'll compile to nothing.
+As we saw earlier, the default vector in [features] only contains "console_error_panic_hook" and not "wee_alloc". So, in this case, this
+block will be replaced by no code at all, and hence the default memory allocator will be used instead of wee_alloc.
+
+The purpose of utils.rs is to define the utils module, which contains a single function set_panic_hook. This function becomes part of the utils module in lib.rs, as described in the preceding section.
+If the console_error_panic_hook feature is not enabled, then set_panic_hook is defined to be an inlined empty function. So, there is no run-time performance or code-size penalty incurred by its use.
+We will discuss:
+
+- Defining
set_panic_hook
+- What is
console_error_panic_hook?
+
+
+
+#![allow(unused)]
+fn main() {
+pub fn set_panic_hook() {
+ // When the `console_error_panic_hook` feature is enabled, we can call the
+ // `set_panic_hook` function at least once during initialization, and then
+ // we will get better error messages if our code ever panics.
+ //
+ // For more details see
+ // https://github.com/rustwasm/console_error_panic_hook#readme
+ #[cfg(feature = "console_error_panic_hook")]
+ console_error_panic_hook::set_once();
+}
+}
+Here, we define a function that's preceded by a cfg attribute. This attribue,
+#[cfg(feature = "console_error_panic_hook")], tells Rust to check if the
+console_error_panic_hook feature is set at compile time. If it is, it will call
+this function. If it isn't- it won't!
+
+The crate console_error_panic_hook allows debugging Rust panic
+messages in a web browser, making it much easier to debug WebAssembly code.
+Let's compare what happens when Rust code panics before and after enabling the
+feature:
+Before: "RuntimeError: Unreachable executed"
+After: "panicked at 'index out of bounds: the len is 3 but the index is 4', libcore/slice/mod.rs:2046:10"
+To do this, a panic hook is configured that logs panics to the
+developer console via the JavaScript console.error function.
+Note though that console_error_panic_hook is not entirely automatic, so you'll
+need to make sure that utils::set_panic_hook() is called before any of our
+code runs (and it's safe to run set_panic_hook many times).
+For more details, see the console_error_panic_hook
+repository.
+
+
+- What is
wee_alloc?
+- Enabling
wee_alloc
+
+
+WebAssembly code is frequently transmitted over the wire to users, so compiled
+code size is often important to ensure an application loads quickly and is
+responsive.
+
+wee_alloc is a tiny allocator designed for WebAssembly that has a (pre-compression) code-size footprint of only a single kilobyte.
+
+An analysis suggests that over half of the bare minimum WebAssembly memory footprint is required by Rust's default memory allocator. Yet, WebAssembly code often does not require a sophisticated allocator, since it often just requests a couple of large initial allocations.
+wee_alloc trades off size for speed. It has a tiny code-size
+footprint, but it is not competitive in terms of performance with the
+default global allocator, for example.
+For even more details, see the wee_alloc
+repository, or
+general documentation about
+shrinking code size of WebAssembly binaries.
+
+In lib.rs, we have the configuration for wee_alloc inside a cfg_if! macro:
+#![allow(unused)]
+fn main() {
+cfg_if! {
+ if #[cfg(feature = "wee_alloc")] {
+ #[global_allocator]
+ static ALLOC: wee_alloc::WeeAlloc = wee_alloc::WeeAlloc::INIT;
+ }
+}
+}
+This code block is intended to initialize wee_alloc as the global memory
+allocator, but only if the wee_alloc feature is enabled at compile time. The
+feature can be enabled by passing extra options while building:
+$ wasm-pack build --features wee_alloc
+
+or alternatively you could turn it on by default in Cargo.toml:
+[features]
+default = ["console_error_panic_hook", "wee_alloc"]
+
+
+web.rs is an integration test defined with Cargo that is
+intended to be run in a headless web browser via the wasm-pack test command.
+It contains three key parts:
+
+#[wasm_bindgen_test] functions- Crate Configuration
+#![cfg] directives
+
+
+The #[wasm_bindgen_test] is like the normal Rust #[test]
+attribute, except it defines a test accessible to WebAssembly and
+headless web browser testing.
+
+Note: Eventually #[test] will work with WebAssembly as well! Currently
+though custom test frameworks are not stable.
+
+#![allow(unused)]
+fn main() {
+#[wasm_bindgen_test]
+fn pass() {
+ assert_eq!(1 + 1, 2);
+}
+}
+Here the pass function is a unit test which asserts that arithmetic works in
+WebAssembly like we'd expect everywhere else. If the test panics (such as the
+assert_eq! being false) then the test will fail, otherwise the test will
+succeed.
+The reference documentation for #[wasm_bindgen_test] should have
+more information about defining these tests.
+
+Other than the test in this module, we'll also see:
+#![allow(unused)]
+fn main() {
+use wasm_bindgen_test::*;
+
+wasm_bindgen_test_configure!(run_in_browser);
+}
+Like we saw earlier in src/lib.rs the * import pulls in everything from
+wasm_bindgen_test, notably the wasm_bindgen_test_configure macro and the
+wasm_bindgen_test attribute.
+The wasm_bindgen_test_configure macro (denoted by ending in !) is used to
+indicate that the test is intended to execute in a web browser as opposed to
+Node.js, which is the default.
+
+The last part we'll notice about this crate is this statement at the top:
+#![allow(unused)]
+#![cfg(target_arch = "wasm32")]
+fn main() {
+}
+This statement means that the test is only intended for the wasm32
+architecture, or the wasm32-unknown-unknown target. This enables cargo test
+to work in your project if the library is also being developed for other
+platforms by ensuring that these tests only execute in a web browser.
+
+We've written our code so now we need to build it.
+We are writing a crate that should be used in the browser, so we run this in
+our terminal:
+$ wasm-pack build
+
+If you were writing a package that should be used in Node.js (with CommonJS
+modules, e.g. require), you would run this in your terminal:
+$ wasm-pack build --target nodejs
+
+This command when run does a few things:
+
+- It'll compile your code to wasm if you haven't already
+- It'll generate a
pkg folder with the wasm file, a JS wrapper file around
+the wasm, your README, and a package.json file.
+
+
+Now after writing and building code, let's actually execute it! You can execute
+tests with:
+$ wasm-pack test --firefox
+[INFO]: Checking for the Wasm target...
+ Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.02s
+ Running target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/debug/deps/web-9e7d380f8600b08e.wasm
+Interactive browsers tests are now available at http://127.0.0.1:8000
+
+Note that interactive mode is enabled because `NO_HEADLESS`
+is specified in the environment of this process. Once you're
+done with testing you'll need to kill this server with
+Ctrl-C.
+
+The console won't finish just yet, but as indicated you can visit
+http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your web browser to see the test output:
+running 1 test
+
+test web::pass ... ok
+
+test result: ok. 1 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored
+
+and we've now executed our first tests in a web browser!
+If you'd like to execute tests in a headless web browser (you don't need to
+manually visit a page) you can do:
+$ wasm-pack test --headless --firefox
+
+and similarly if you're developing a project for Node.js you can also execute
+wasm-pack test --nodejs to run tests in Node.
+Be sure to see the testing reference documentation for
+other supported features as well!
+
+We've made our code so now we need to package it all up. In your project directory run the following
+command:
+$ wasm-pack build --scope MYSCOPE
+
+where MYSCOPE is your npm username. Normally you could just type wasm-pack build but since
+other people are doing this tutorial as well we don't want conflicts with the wasm-add package
+name! This command when run does a few things:
+
+- It'll compile your code to wasm if you haven't already
+- It'll generate a pkg folder with the wasm file, a JS wrapper file around the wasm, your README,
+and a
package.json file.
+
+This is everything you need to upload your code to npm! Let's do just that!
+First off you'll need to login to npm with the account you made earlier if you didn't already have
+one:
+$ wasm-pack login
+
+Next you'll need to go into the pkg directory and actually upload the package:
+$ cd pkg
+$ npm publish --access=public
+
+Now normally if things are not scoped you can just do npm publish but if you give it a scope
+you'll need to tell npm that this is actually public so it can publish it. We need to do that here
+since we gave our packages a scope to avoid conflicting with each other! Next up is actually running
+the code and verifying we got it from npm and how we can use that code.
+
+This portion of the tutorial will help you create a Webpack JavaScript project that will
+run your WebAssembly code in the browser.
+
+To scaffold a project that we can use our new package in, we'll use an npm template called
+create-wasm-app. To use this run this command in a directory different than your Rust
+project:
+npm init wasm-app my-new-wasm-app
+
+Instead of my-new-wasm-app you can choose a different project name.
+The tool will create a directory with that name.
+If we look in that directory, we'll see the following:
+
+.gitignore: ignores node_modulesLICENSE-APACHE and LICENSE-MIT: most Rust projects are licensed this way, so these are included for youREADME.md: the file you are reading now!index.html: a bare bones html document that includes the webpack bundleindex.js: example js file with a comment showing how to import and use a wasm pkgpackage.json and package-lock.json:
+
+- pulls in devDependencies for using webpack:
+
+
+- defines a
start script to run webpack-dev-server
+
+webpack.config.js: configuration file for bundling your js with webpack
+
+The scaffolded project includes an example WebAssembly package, hello-wasm-pack, in your
+package.json. Go into the package.json file, add your package, and remove the
+hello-wasm-pack dependency from the "dependencies" section.
+Now, open up the index.js file. Replace the hello-wasm-pack in the first line with the
+name of your package:
+import * as wasm from "<your package name>";
+
+wasm.greet();
+
+
+Before we run our project, we need to make sure we install our dependencies:
+npm install
+
+We should be ready to run our project now! To run our project we'll run:
+npm start
+
+Then in a web browser navigate to http://localhost:8080 and you should be greeted with an
+alert box that says "Hello World!".
+If you did congrats you've successfully uploaded your first bit of wasm code to npm and used it
+properly!
+
+wasm-pack can be configured via the package.metadata.wasm-pack key in
+Cargo.toml. Every option has a default, and is not required.
+There are three profiles: dev, profiling, and release. These correspond to
+the --dev, --profiling, and --release flags passed to wasm-pack build.
+The available configuration options and their default values are shown below:
+[package.metadata.wasm-pack.profile.dev]
+# Should `wasm-opt` be used to further optimize the wasm binary generated after
+# the Rust compiler has finished? Using `wasm-opt` can often further decrease
+# binary size or do clever tricks that haven't made their way into LLVM yet.
+#
+# Configuration is set to `false` by default for the dev profile, but it can
+# be set to an array of strings which are explicit arguments to pass to
+# `wasm-opt`. For example `['-Os']` would optimize for size while `['-O4']`
+# would execute very expensive optimizations passes
+wasm-opt = ['-O']
+
+[package.metadata.wasm-pack.profile.dev.wasm-bindgen]
+# Should we enable wasm-bindgen's debug assertions in its generated JS glue?
+debug-js-glue = true
+# Should wasm-bindgen demangle the symbols in the "name" custom section?
+demangle-name-section = true
+# Should we emit the DWARF debug info custom sections?
+dwarf-debug-info = false
+# Should we omit the default import path?
+omit-default-module-path = false
+
+[package.metadata.wasm-pack.profile.profiling]
+wasm-opt = ['-O']
+
+[package.metadata.wasm-pack.profile.profiling.wasm-bindgen]
+debug-js-glue = false
+demangle-name-section = true
+dwarf-debug-info = false
+omit-default-module-path = false
+
+# `wasm-opt` is on by default in for the release profile, but it can be
+# disabled by setting it to `false`
+[package.metadata.wasm-pack.profile.release]
+wasm-opt = false
