Plan for Adding WebAssembly (WASM) Support to the Web Builder Framework
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Create WASM Optimizer Module (framework/optimizers/optimize-wasm.nu)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Build WASM modules using external tools (wasm-pack, wasm-bindgen-cli, emscripten)
|
||
|
|
- Support for Rust, C/C++, AssemblyScript, and Go compilation
|
||
|
|
- Optimize WASM binaries with wasm-opt
|
||
|
|
- Generate JavaScript glue code and TypeScript definitions
|
||
|
|
- Handle WASM instantiation patterns (sync/async)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Extend Configuration System
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Add [wasm] section to page.config.toml template
|
||
|
|
- Configure WASM source files and build commands
|
||
|
|
- Specify target environments (web, node, bundler)
|
||
|
|
- Set optimization levels and features
|
||
|
|
- Define memory limits and threading options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Update Build Pipeline (framework/core/build.nu)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Add WASM compilation step parallel to JS/CSS processing
|
||
|
|
- Copy WASM binaries to dist directory
|
||
|
|
- Generate loader scripts for WASM modules
|
||
|
|
- Handle WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming fallback
|
||
|
|
- Support WASM module dependencies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Add WASM Development Support (framework/core/dev.nu)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Watch WASM source files for changes
|
||
|
|
- Hot-reload WASM modules during development
|
||
|
|
- Provide WASM debugging information
|
||
|
|
- Support source maps for WASM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Create WASM Tool Integration (framework/core/framework-utils.nu)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Detect installed WASM toolchains
|
||
|
|
- Validate WASM build requirements
|
||
|
|
- Provide fallback mechanisms
|
||
|
|
- Support multiple WASM languages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. Add WASM-specific Templates
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Create page templates with WASM integration
|
||
|
|
- Provide example Rust/C++ WASM projects
|
||
|
|
- Include WebAssembly loader utilities
|
||
|
|
- Add performance measurement tools
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configuration Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[wasm]
|
||
|
|
enabled = true
|
||
|
|
source_dir = "src/wasm"
|
||
|
|
output_dir = "dist/wasm"
|
||
|
|
modules = [
|
||
|
|
{ name = "compute", source = "src/lib.rs", lang = "rust" },
|
||
|
|
{ name = "graphics", source = "main.c", lang = "c" }
|
||
|
|
]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[wasm.rust]
|
||
|
|
toolchain = "wasm-pack" # or "cargo-web"
|
||
|
|
target = "web" # web, nodejs, bundler
|
||
|
|
optimization = "O3"
|
||
|
|
features = ["simd", "threads"]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[wasm.optimization]
|
||
|
|
use_wasm_opt = true
|
||
|
|
opt_level = 3 # 0-4
|
||
|
|
shrink_level = 2 # 0-2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Key Benefits:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Performance: Native-speed computation for heavy tasks
|
||
|
|
- Language flexibility: Use Rust, C++, Go, or AssemblyScript
|
||
|
|
- Progressive enhancement: WASM as optional optimization
|
||
|
|
- Development experience: Hot-reload and debugging support
|
||
|
|
- Production ready: Optimization and compression built-in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This approach integrates WASM as a first-class citizen in the framework while maintaining the existing architecture and workflow.
