Building on the previous commit to invoke not invoke `npm install` this takes
the commit a step further (to hopefully fix some races) to use Webpack's native
bundled wasm support.
It turns out the circular dependencies between the wasm module and the module
using it wasn't quite working out so a number of imports had to be tweaked, but
otherwise it's a nice transition where we don't have to base64 encode anything
in tests any more!
This commit is a mostly-rewrite of the `wasm-bindgen` tool. After some recent
discussions it's clear that the previous model wasn't quite going to cut it, and
this iteration is one which primarily embraces ES6 modules and the idea that
this is a polyfill for host bindings.
The overall interface and functionality hasn't changed much but the underlying
technology has now changed significantly. Previously `wasm-bindgen` would emit a
JS file that acted as an ES6 module but had a bit of a wonky interface. It
exposed an async function for instantiation of the wasm module, but that's the
bundler's job, not ours!
Instead this iteration views each input and output as a discrete ES6 module. The
input wasm file is interpreted as "this *should* be an ES6 module with rich
types" and the output is "well here's some ES6 modules that fulfill that
contract". Notably the tool now replaces the original wasm ES6 module with a JS
ES6 module that has the "rich interface". Additionally a second ES6 module is
emitted (the actual wasm file) which imports and exports to the original ES6
module.
This strategy is hoped to be much more amenable to bundlers and controlling how
the wasm itself is instantiated. The emitted files files purely assume ES6
modules and should be able to work as-is once ES6 module integration for wasm is
completed.
Note that there aren't a ton of tools to pretend a wasm module is an ES6 module
at the moment but those should be coming soon! In the meantime a local
`wasm2es6js` hack was added to help make *something* work today. The README has
also been updated with instructions for interacting with this model.
This commit adds an option to "uglify" the wasm module's imports/exports so
those which are controlled by bindgen are renamed to a shorter (probably one
letter) names. This'll hopefully help cut down on both the wasm size slightly
and also the generated JS as the glue we're talking to wasm over won't require
such large names all the time.
