pretty-print-json-go-wasm v0.1.19

Attempting to make a WASM component and publish to NPM

NOTE: testing with stackblitz: https://stackblitz.com/edit/stackblitz-starters-wa3lmu

• created this folder: mkdir pretty-print-go-wasm

• created go.mod:

$ cd pretty-print-go-wasm
$ go mod init github.com/mandolyte/pretty-print-go-wasm
go: creating new go.mod: module github.com/mandolyte/pretty-print-go-wasm
$ cat go.mod
module github.com/mandolyte/pretty-print-go-wasm

go 1.20
$

• created main.go in src folder(just copied from the webassembly-part-1 folder)

• compiled to wasm:

$ GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go build -o main.wasm

• copied the go wasm-exec.js file in src (comes with go install; see tutorial)

• created the "wrapper" Javascript code in src/index.js

• created package.json with what I think will be needed

• run "npm install"; had some warnings, but seemed to work.

• run "npm publish":

$ npm publish

> pretty-print-json-go-wasm@0.1.0 prepublishOnly
> rm -fr ./dist & babel ./src --out-dir ./dist -s inline

Trials and Tribulations

2023-07-23

Since the NPM component is unable to locate the WASM file within itself, I changed the code to retrieve from a known location. In this case, from the component's repo location. And then using a raw github fetch to acquire the WASM file. That does not work, error is:

TypeError: Failed to execute 'compile' on 'WebAssembly': Incorrect response MIME type. Expected 'application/wasm'.

Here is a discussion of the issue: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/22863

Using tiny go

Link: https://tinygo.org/docs/guides/webassembly/wasm/

Command:

tinygo build -o wasm.wasm -target wasm ./main.go

Results:

• go wasm size was 2788448
• tinygo size was 900648

With this I was able to upload the WASM into my Stackblitz project.

Have tried to locate it in:

• ./pages/main.wasm - did not work
• main.wasm - did not work
• /main.wasm - did not work
• /public/main.wasm - found it, but returned this error:

TypeError: WebAssembly.instantiate(): Import #0 module="env" error: module is not an object or function
