This project is intended as monorepo template for any project, which intends to integrate Rust generated Webassembly in a webworker written in TypeScript.
The code is bundled into a single file, exposing a client interface for the webworker. Hereby the webworker is inlined as a base64 blob, which is loaded as soon as when initializing the client. The output bundle with its type mappings can finally be consumed e.g. by a web browser application.
As an example a reference implementation of DeepThought™ is given.
This project requires an installed Rust version >= 1.30.0.
Additionally yarn needs to be globally installed.
Initially in the project root run
yarn
to load the remaining dependencies.
To trigger a release build simply run
yarn build
or for a development debug version
yarn build:dev
This compiles the rust code, provides the WASM package with wasm-pack, transpiles the Typescript code and finally bundles everything together with webpack. The output can be found under ./dist/Client.js along with a type definition file.
To clean the complete build use
yarn clean
To prove the concept working, a simple testpage is provided. To start the development server run
yarn testpage
When navigating to https://localhost:8443/ with a webbrowser (accept the risk...), you are able to ask DeepThought™ anything you desire. Open up the developer tools to follow his thought process....
Additionally in the logs you can see the client and webworker doing their deed.
