🛠 Requirements

To successfully setup this project, ensure you have installed the following:

• NodeJS
• Rust Compiler
• wasm-pack CLI (this requirs the Rust Compiler mentioned above).

💻 Code Setup

With your termimal:

• cd into the rust directory, and run the following commands:

wasm-pack build

• cd into the javascript directory, and run the following commands:

npm install
npm run start

This should serve your app on localhost:8080 or the port might be different if an existing app is making use of the current port.

• Open the URL on your browser & enjoy 🚀.

👩🏽‍🏫 Understanding the Code

The source is broken into 2 sections. The javascript and the rust directory.

The rust is responsible for parsing the stringified JSON, and gets compiled to .wasm using wasm-pack.

Once the .wasm file has been generated, it is pre-registered as a package in the javascript app.

The Javascript app will always see the wasm module as an npm package, and allow our javascript app to execute it.
