WebAssembly

[jamen]

Hey. I started a plugin, wasmify, for importing WebAssembly code. I wanted to share my progress. 😄

Firstly, you can run this with or without a config. Without simply lets you import .wasm files. While configs are responsible for compiling source files (C, C++, etc.) into webassembly and loading it at runtime.

browserify -p wasmify
# With config
browserify -p [ wasmify -c emscripten ]

Here is an example with no config.

const createSample = require('./sample.wasm')

// Initialize module
const sample = createSample({ ...imports })

// Run WebAssembly function
sample.main()

And here is an example using an Emscripten config:

const sample = require('./sample.c')

// Call C function
sample._main()

I hope to add better C/C++ support in the future, as well as configs for other languages. Currently emscripten (for C/C++) and wabt (for WAT) are supported.
