Alex Crichton b7d7d28418 Expand LongLong to (i32 or f64) instead of i64
This commit tweaks WebIDL expansion of the "long long" and "unsigned long long"
types to expand to a union of an 32-bit integer and a double. This reflects how
almost none of the APIs on the web today actually work with a `BigInt` (what the
previous Rust type of `i64` translates to) and how JS itself fundamentally
operates with these APIs.

Eventually this may not be necessary if we can natively connect to C++ engines
with the `i64` type, but until that day comes this should provide more useful
interfaces as they shoudl work in all browsers.

wasm-bindgen

Facilitating high-level interactions between wasm modules and JavaScript.

Build Status Build status API Documentation on docs.rs

Import JavaScript things into Rust and export Rust things to JavaScript.

extern crate wasm_bindgen;
use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;

// Import the `window.alert` function from the Web.
#[wasm_bindgen]
extern {
    fn alert(s: &str);
}

// Export a `greet` function from Rust to JavaScript, that alerts a
// hello message.
#[wasm_bindgen]
pub fn greet(name: &str) {
    alert(&format!("Hello, {}!", name));
}

Use exported Rust things from JavaScript with ECMAScript modules!

import { greet } from "./hello_world";

greet("World!");

Features

  • Lightweight. Only pay for what you use. wasm-bindgen only generates bindings and glue for the JavaScript imports you actually use and Rust functionality that you export. For example, importing and using the document.querySelector method doesn't cause Node.prototype.appendChild or window.alert to be included in the bindings as well.

  • ECMAScript modules. Just import WebAssembly modules the same way you would import JavaScript modules. Future compatible with WebAssembly modules and ECMAScript modules integration.

  • Designed with the "host bindings" proposal in mind. Eventually, there won't be any JavaScript shims between Rust-generated wasm functions and native DOM methods. Because the wasm functions are statically type checked, some of those native methods' dynamic type checks should become unnecessary, promising to unlock even-faster-than-JavaScript DOM access.
