An example with using Javascript library

[shivshankardayal]

An example of Perseus with a Javascript library would be very nice. For example, using CommonMark of Rust with Highlight JS.

There's already a JS interop example that shows how to use JS code, and from there it's pretty much as per the wasm-bindgen docs.

That said, I'm happy to work on a full example of this, I agree that it would be useful!

Thanks. More example are always better. This helps users enforce the concepts of framework.

There is a reason why asked for that specific example. I am working on https://github.com/Nalanda-Labs/Kunjika which is hosted at https://kunjika.ashtavakra.org. I want to write the frontend in Perseus because it provides SSR. Right now I am using Svelte. However, I have never programmed in Webassembly so an example would be mighty helpful.

[arctic-hen7]

Sure thing! Perseus should work brilliantly for that use-case (and it should outperform Svelte too!), and I'm happy to add some examples to help you out. If you'd like any further support, you can hop onto the Sycamore Discord server, where we have a channel.

Until I get around to this, note that the Perseus website (website/ in this repo) does use a JS syntax highlighting library, though its usage is fairly rudimentary. Might be helpful though.

Thanks for the info. I will join the you guys in Discord. :)
