The project is in low maintance now

Use WasmPack instead

Webpack Rust loader

Webpack loader for Rust

Example

add.rs

#[no_mangle]
pub fn add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
    a + b
}

huge_crate/Cargo.toml

[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"] # important

huge_crate/src/lib.rs

fn its_magic_number(x: i32) -> bool {
    x == 42
}
#[no_mangle]
pub fn plus_one(x: i32) -> i32 {
    if its_magic_number(x) { 420 } else { x + 1 }
}

main.js

import add from "./add.rs"
import hugeCrate from "./huge_crate/Cargo.toml"

(async () => {
  const add = await add.then(buf => WebAssembly.instantiate(buf))
  const hugeCrate = await hugeCrate.then(buf => WebAssembly.instantiate(buf))

  console.log(add.instance.exports.add(1, 2)) // 3
  console.log(hugeCrate.instance.exports.plus_one(6)) // 7
  console.log(hugeCrate.instance.exports.plus_one(42)) // 420
})()

Features

• Dont injects WASM to JS bundle, dynamic http fetching .wasm files via file-loader
• Hot module replacement

Usage

1. Prepare system
   1. Install nightly Rust: rustup update nightly
   2. Install rustc wasm target: rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown --toolchain nightly
   3. Install wasm-gc: cargo install --git https://github.com/alexcrichton/wasm-gc --force
2. Configure Webpack
   1. Install rust-loader and file-loader: yarn add rust-loader file-loader --dev
   2. Use it in Webpack config:

   rules: [
     {
       test: /(\.rs$|Cargo.toml)/,
       loader: "rust-loader"
     },
     {
       test: /\.wasm$/,
       loader: "file-loader",
       type: "javascript/auto"
     }
   ]
