This commit rejiggers some documentation of `wasm-bindgen` in a few
significant ways:
* The main landing page now has text and links to the Game of Life
tutorial and `wasm-pack`.
* The "whirlwind tour" was deleted as it wasn't really serving any
purpose that the Game of Life plus the later references weren't already
serving.
* The "no modules" example was renamed to "without a bundler"
* A dedicated section on "Deployment" was added which replaces the
previous "No ES Modules" page. This is hopefully more descriptive and
also prominently mentions the various options for deployment.
This'll help get `cargo build --all` and similar commands working. While
not critical at all, I execute it from time to time and it's a bummer
when it doesn't work!
This commit implements a system that will assert that all
`#[wasm_bindgen]` attributes are actually used during compilation. This
should help ensure that we don't sneak in stray attributes that don't
actually end up having any meaning, and hopefully make it a bit easier
to learn `#[wasm_bindgen]`!
This commit updates all examples to not use `path` dependencies but
rather use versioned dependencies like would typically be found in the
wild. This should hopefully make the examples more copy-pastable and
less alien to onlookers!
The development of the examples remains the same where they continue to
use the `wasm-bindgen`, `js-sys`, `web-sys`, etc from in-tree. The
workspace-level `[patch]` section ensures that they use the in-tree
versions instead of the crates.io versions.
... and add a parallel raytracing demo!
This commit adds enough support to `wasm-bindgen` to produce a workable
wasm binary *today* with the experimental WebAssembly threads support
implemented in Firefox Nightly. I've tried to comment what's going on in
the commits and such, but at a high level the changes made here are:
* A new transformation, living in a new `wasm-bindgen-threads-xform`
crate, prepares a wasm module for parallel execution. This performs a
number of mundane tasks which I hope to detail in a blog post later on.
* The `--no-modules` output is enhanced with more support for when
shared memory is enabled, allowing passing in the module/memory to
initialize the wasm instance on multiple threads (sharing both module
and memory).
* The `wasm-bindgen` crate now offers the ability, in `--no-modules`
mode, to get a handle on the `WebAssembly.Module` instance.
* The example itself requires Xargo to recompile the standard library
with atomics and an experimental feature enabled. Afterwards it
experimentally also enables threading support in wasm-bindgen.
I've also added hopefully enough CI support to compile this example in a
builder so we can upload it and poke around live online. I hope to
detail more about the technical details here in a blog post soon as
well!
This commit is a large-ish scale reorganization of our examples. The
main goal here is to have a dedicated section of the guide for example,
and all examples will be listed there. Each example's `README` is now
just boilerplate pointing at the guide along with a blurb about how to
run it.
Some examples like `math` and `smorgasboard` have been deleted as they
didn't really serve much purpose, and others like `closures` have been
rewritten with `web-sys` instead of hand-bound bindings.
Overall it's hoped that this puts us in a good and consistent state for
our examples, with all of them being described in the guide, excerpts
are in the guide, and they're all relatively idiomatically using
`web-sys`.
Because only a single `wasm_bindgen` version can be used in a dependency graph,
pretend we link a native library so that `cargo` will provide better error
messages than the esoteric linker errors we would otherwise trigger.
In addition to closing #495 this'll be useful eventually when instantiating
multiple wasm modules from Rust as you'd now be able to acquire a reference to
the current module in Rust itself.
