@candlecorp/browser_wasi_shim v0.2.16

A pure javascript shim for WASI

Implementation status: A subset of wasi_snapshot_preview1 is implemented. The rest either throws an exception, returns an error or is incorrectly implemented.

Usage

npm install @bjorn3/browser_wasi_shim --save

import { WASI, File, OpenFile, PreopenDirectory } from "@bjorn3/browser_wasi_shim";

let args = ["bin", "arg1", "arg2"];
let env = ["FOO=bar"];
let fds = [
    new OpenFile(new File([])), // stdin
    new OpenFile(new File([])), // stdout
    new OpenFile(new File([])), // stderr
    new PreopenDirectory(".", {
        "example.c": new File(new TextEncoder("utf-8").encode(`#include "a"`)),
        "hello.rs": new File(new TextEncoder("utf-8").encode(`fn main() { println!("Hello World!"); }`)),
    }),
];
let wasi = new WASI(args, env, fds);

let wasm = await WebAssembly.compileStreaming(fetch("bin.wasm"));
let inst = await WebAssembly.instantiate(wasm, {
    "wasi_snapshot_preview1": wasi.wasiImport,
});
wasi.start(inst);

Building

$ npm install
$ npm run build

Running tests

This project uses playwright to run tests in a browser using WebAssembly built from the Wasmtime project.

To clone wasmtime and build the test WebAssembly, run:

$ npm test:build

Once the WebAssembly is built, you can run the tests with:

$ npm test

Running the demo

The demo requires the wasm rustc artifacts and the xterm js package. To get them run:

$ git submodule update --init
$ cd examples && npm install

Run the demo with a static web server from the root of this project:

$ npx http-server
