* Use ES modules in README example
* Remove introduction blog post from README
While the blog post is great, the README and the guide should be a good enough
intro to wasm-bindgen, and are more likely to be kept up to date.
This commit is an implementation of mapping u64/i64 to `BigInt` in JS through
the unstable BigInt APIs. The BigInt type will ship soon in Chrome and so this
commit builds out the necessary support for wasm-bindgen to use it!
This commit adds support for closures with arguments like strings and such. In
other words, closures passed to JS can now have the same suite of arguments as
all functions that can be exported from Rust, as one might expect!
At this time due to the way trait objects work closures still cannot use types
with references like `&str`, but bare values like `String` or `ImportedType`
should work just fine.
Closes#104
This commit adds support for passing `&mut FnMut(..)` to JS via imports. These
closures cannot be invoked recursively in JS (they invalidate themselves while
they're being invoked) and otherwise work the same as `&Fn(..)` closures.
Closes#123
This commit leverages two new attributes in the Rust compiler,
`#[wasm_custom_section]` and `#[wasm_import_module]`. These two attributes allow
removing a lot of hacks found in wasm-bindgen and also allows removing the
requirement of `wasm-opt` to remove the unused data sections.
This does require two new nightly features but we already required the
`proc_macro` nightly feature and these will hopefully be stabilized before that
feature!
Right now Webpack probably has the most mature support for loading wasm modules,
so let's show off how to do that! Additionally this commits hello world as an
example to the repository.
This commit migrates from `wasm_bindgen!`-the-macro to
`#[wasm_bindgen]`-the-attribute. The actual mechanics of the macro are
relatively simple in just generating some shims here and there, but wrapping
everything in one huge macro invocation can often seem intimidating as it gives
off this feeling of "oh dear anything can happen here!" Using an attribute
should curb expectations much more greatly of "oh there's just some extra stuff
happening behind the scenes".
The usage is otherwise relatively straightforward and close to what it was
before, but check out the DESIGN.md/README.md changes for more info!
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.
