Global Functions and WebIDL binding

[prestomation]

I'm trying to build a JS->C++ bridge for a large, existing C++ code base.
The code base already builds with emscripten and is already used by others in WASM. What I am doing that is new is exposing the library to javascript(the others use it from C++ that is also compiled to WASM).

This library uses C++ classes and a large set of global functions.

It seems I cannot model the global functions using the webidl-binder. Is it possible to model global functions using webidl-binder and I've just missed it?

That aside, I've modeled some of the classes using Webidl-binding and modeled the global functions using embind. But when I call a global function(modeled using embind) that uses a class instance(modeled by webidl) I get an UnboundTypeError.

Should I expect mixing webidl and embind to work?

Thanks!

I think global functions are not yet supported in the webidl binder. Main focus has been on mirroring classes to JS. But you can create a class for the global stuff, and a singleton of it, etc.

Webidl binder and embind don't have any integration code, they are not aware of each other.

Thanks Kripken. I'm still evaluating our options for our usecase, but I think embind is preferred(as we can 'graft' our own functions onto existing classes to address some of the limitations)

Thank you for the incredible toolset!
