This commit is a pretty large scale rewrite of the internals of wasm-bindgen. No user-facing changes are expected as a result of this PR, but due to the scale of changes here it's likely inevitable that at least something will break. I'm hoping to get more testing in though before landing! The purpose of this PR is to update wasm-bindgen to the current state of the interface types proposal. The wasm-bindgen tool was last updated when it was still called "WebIDL bindings" so it's been awhile! All support is now based on https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-interface-types which defines parsers/binary format/writers/etc for wasm-interface types. This is a pretty massive PR and unfortunately can't really be split up any more afaik. I don't really expect realistic review of all the code here (or commits), but some high-level changes are: * Interface types now consists of a set of "adapter functions". The IR in wasm-bindgen is modeled the same way not. * Each adapter function has a list of instructions, and these instructions work at a higher level than wasm itself, for example with strings. * The wasm-bindgen tool has a suite of instructions which are specific to it and not present in the standard. (like before with webidl bindings) * The anyref/multi-value transformations are now greatly simplified. They're simply "optimization passes" over adapter functions, removing instructions that are otherwise present. This way we don't have to juggle so much all over the place, and instructions always have the same meaning.
wasm-bindgen
Facilitating high-level interactions between Wasm modules and JavaScript.
Guide | API Docs | Contributing | Chat
Built with 🦀🕸 by The Rust and WebAssembly Working Group
Example
Import JavaScript things into Rust and export Rust things to JavaScript.
use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;
// Import the `window.alert` function from the Web.
#[wasm_bindgen]
extern "C" {
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-bindgenonly generates bindings and glue for the JavaScript imports you actually use and Rust functionality that you export. For example, importing and using thedocument.querySelectormethod doesn't causeNode.prototype.appendChildorwindow.alertto 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 "Web IDL 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.
