Running app in browser

You can use the Fluence JS with any framework (or even without it). The "fluence" part of the application is a collection of pure typescript\javascript functions which can be called withing any framework of your choosing.

Configuring application to run in browser

To run application in browser you need to configure the server which hosts the application to serve two additional files:

• avm.wasm is the execution file of AquaVM. The file is located in @fluencelabs/avm package
• runnerScript.web.js is the web worker script responsible for running AVM in background. The file is located in @fluencelabs/avm-runner-background package

Fluence JS provides a utility script named copy-avm-public which locates described above files and copies them into the specified directory. For example if static files are served from the public directory you can run copy-avm-public public to copy files needed to run Fluence. It is recommended to put their names into .gitignore and run the script on every build to prevent possible inconsistencies with file versions. This can be done using npm's postinstall script:

  ...
  "scripts": {
    "postinstall": "copy-avm-public public",
    "start": "...",
    ..
  },
  ...

Demo applications
