This commit switches all imports of JS methods to `structural` by
default. Proposed in [RFC 5] this should increase the performance of
bindings today while also providing future-proofing for possible
confusion with the recent addition of the `Deref` trait for all imported
types by default as well.
A new attribute, `host_binding`, is introduced in this PR as well to
recover the old behavior of binding directly to an imported function
which will one day be the precise function on the prototype. Eventually
`web-sys` will switcsh over entirely to being driven via `host_binding`
methods, but for now it's been measured to be not quite as fast so we're
not making that switch yet.
Note that `host_binding` differs from the proposed name of `final` due
to the controversy, and its hoped that `host_binding` is a good
middle-ground!
[RFC 5]: https://rustwasm.github.io/rfcs/005-structural-and-deref.html
This commit implements the first half of [RFC #5] where the `Deref`
trait is implemented for all imported types. The target of `Deref` is
either the first entry of the list of `extends` attribute or `JsValue`.
All examples using `.as_ref()` with various `web-sys` types have been
updated to the more ergonomic deref casts now. Additionally the
`web-sys` generation of the `extends` array has been fixed slightly to
explicitly list implementatoins in the hierarchy order to ensure the
correct target for `Deref` is chosen.

... 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!
I've noticed this in a few cases where it's sometimes easy to have a
`WebAssembly.Module` on-hand for the `--no-modules` mode where you don't
want to necessarily `fetch`. This commit changes the exported
initialization function in `--no-modules` mode to support both!
This commit does a few things, including:
* Fixing the generated JS of `wasm-bindgen` to allow polyfills to work.
(a minor tweak of the generated JS)
* All examples are updated to include a Webpack-specific polyfill for
these two types to get examples working in Edge.
* A new page has been added to the guide about supported browsers. This
mentions known caveats like IE 11 requiring `wasm2js` as well as
documenting some `TextEncoder` and `TextDecoder` workarounds for Edge.
Closes#895
Previously the `link_mem_intrinsics` hack actually had a runtime
overhead by storing a value into a global location, but it turns out we
can actually use a non-inlined function call as part of the *descriptor*
which requires this to be in the final binary, but we'll end up snip'ing
the value at the end.
All in all this should mean that it's not a zero-overhead solution for
linking these intrinsics! The `#[wasm_bindgen]` attribute already has
other problems if the descriptors don't show up, so that's the least of
our issues!
Rejigger Travis slightly to take advantage of build stages to build the
`gh-pages` branch amongst a set of builders, and then when they're all
done we synchronize and deploy the site. For now use S3 as a backing
store for data between jobs.
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`.
This commit adds support for exporting a function defined in Rust that returns a
`Result`, translating the `Ok` variant to the actual return value and the `Err`
variant to an exception that's thrown in JS.
The support for return types and descriptors was rejiggered a bit to be a bit
more abstract and more well suited for this purpose. We no longer distinguish
between functions with a return value and those without a return value.
Additionally a new trait, `ReturnWasmAbi`, is used for converting return values.
This trait is an internal implementation detail, however, and shouldn't surface
itself to users much (if at all).
Closes#841
This commit adds support for the WebIDL `Callback` type by translating all
callbacks to the `js_sys::Function` type. This will enable passing raw JS values
into callbacks as well as Rust valus using the `Closure` type.
This commit doesn't currently implement "callback interfaces" in WebIDL, that's
left for a follow-up commit.
* Gate `web-sys` APIs on activated features
Currently the compile times of `web-sys` are unfortunately prohibitive,
increasing the barrier to using it. This commit updates the crate to instead
have all APIs gated by a set of Cargo features which affect what bindings are
generated at compile time (and which are then compiled by rustc). It's
significantly faster to activate only a handful of features vs all thousand of
them!
A magical env var is added to print the list of all features that should be
generated, and then necessary logic is added to ferry features from the build
script to the webidl crate which then uses that as a filter to remove items
after parsing. Currently parsing is pretty speedy so we'll unconditionally parse
all WebIDL files, but this may change in the future!
For now this will make the `web-sys` crate a bit less ergonomic to use as lots
of features will need to be specified, but it should make it much more
approachable in terms of first-user experience with compile times.
* Fix AppVeyor testing web-sys
* FIx a typo
* Udpate feature listings from rebase conflicts
* Add some crate docs and such
We now have a rather large section for feature reference, and I don't think
there is anything in this page that isn't covered elsewhere and in more detail
anymore.
This commit implements the `extends` attribute for `#[wasm_bindgen]` to
statically draw the inheritance hierarchy in the generated bindings, generating
appropriate `AsRef`, `AsMut`, and `From` implementations.
First added in #161 this never ended up panning out, so let's remove the
experimental suport which isn't actually used by anything today and hold off on
any other changes until an RFC happens.
