## README

# tinyest-for-wgsl

Transforms JavaScript into its 'tinyest' form, to be used in generating
equivalent (or close to) WGSL code. Used by
[**TypeGPU**](https://docs.swmansion.com/TypeGPU) to allow for shaders to be
written in JS.

## Basic principles

`tinyest-for-wgsl` is responsible for transforming JS function bodies of TypeGPU
declarations (e.g., `tgpu.fn`) into an embeddable syntax tree, gathering
external names outside of the scope of the function.

```ts
`(a, b) => {
  return a + b + double(a);
}`;
```

This can then be used to generate the following Embeddable Syntax Tree:

```js
// Can be injected with a simple JSON.stringify of a value that can be computed in the Rollup plugin.
{
  b: [{ r: { x: [{ x: ['a', '+', 'b'] }, '+', { f: ['double', ['a']] }] } }];
}
```
