@diotoborg/magnam-incidunt-quasi

Add WebAssembly ESM integration (aka. Webpack's asyncWebAssembly) to Vite and support wasm-pack generated modules.

Installation

Now this plugin supports both Vite 2.x and 3.x. Just install it:

yarn add -D @diotoborg/magnam-incidunt-quasi

Usage

You also need the vite-plugin-top-level-await plugin unless you target very modern browsers only (i.e. set build.target to esnext).

import wasm from "@diotoborg/magnam-incidunt-quasi";
import topLevelAwait from "vite-plugin-top-level-await";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    wasm(),
    topLevelAwait()
  ]
});

If you are getting ESBuild errors of WASM files (In the format No loader is configured for ".wasm" files: node_modules/somepackage/somefile.wasm) with Vite < 3.0.3, please upgrade your Vite to >= 3.0.3 or upgrade this plugin to >= 3.1.0. A workaround is adding the corresponding imported module within node_modules to optimizeDeps.exclude, e.g.:

export default defineConfig({
  optimizeDeps: {
    exclude: [
      "@syntect/wasm"
    ]
  }
});

Web Worker

To use this plugin in Web Workers. Add it (and vite-plugin-top-level-await if necessary) to worker.plugins. To support Firefox, don't use ES workers. leave worker.format default and use vite-plugin-top-level-await >= 1.4.0 (see also here):

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    wasm(),
    topLevelAwait()
  ],
  worker: {
    // Not needed with vite-plugin-top-level-await >= 1.3.0
    // format: "es",
    plugins: [
      wasm(),
      topLevelAwait()
    ]
  }
});

Notes

TypeScript typing is broken. Since we can't declare a module with Record<string, any> as its named export map. Your import ... from "./module.wasm"; will still got Vite's bulit-in typing, but the transformed code is fine. So just use an asterisk import import * as wasmModule from "./module.wasm" and type assertion (you have typing for your WASM files, right?).
