Rhai Playground

This is an attempt to make a playground for the Rhai scripting language using WebAssembly.

The master branch is automatically built and deployed here. A known-good build is published on https://rhaiscript.github.io/playground/stable/.

Embedding the Rhai Playground (work in progress)

It is still a work-in-progress, but it is possible to embed the playground for use on another web page.

iframe.rhaiPlayground {

    height: 400px;
    border: 0;

<pre><code class="language-rhai">fn hello_rhai(msg) {
    print("Hello world! " + msg);
}
hello_rhai("Embed the Rhai Playground to run Rhai code!");

What does each file do?

• Cargo.toml contains the standard Rust metadata. You put your Rust dependencies in here. You must change this file with your details (name, description, version, authors, categories)

• package.json contains the standard npm metadata. You put your JavaScript dependencies in here. You must change this file with your details (author, name, version)

• webpack.config.js contains the Webpack configuration. You shouldn't need to change this, unless you have very special needs.

• The js folder contains your JavaScript code (index.js is used to hook everything into Webpack, you don't need to change it).

• The src folder contains your Rust code.

• The static folder contains any files that you want copied as-is into the final build. It contains an index.html file which loads the index.js file.

• The tests folder contains your Rust unit tests.
