A common backend for bindgen crates.

This (internal) crate provides functionality common to multiple bindgen dependency crates. There are 4 main things exported from this crate:

1. TryToTokens

   Provides the ability to attempt conversion from an AST struct into a TokenStream

2. Diagnostic

   A struct used to provide diagnostic responses for failures of said tokenization

3. ast

   Abstract Syntax Tree types used to represent a Rust program, with the necessary metadata to generate bindings for it

4. util

   Common utilities for manipulating parsed types from syn

Install wasm-bindgen-cli

You can install it using cargo install:

cargo install wasm-bindgen-cli

Or, you can download it from the release page.

If you have cargo-binstall installed, then you can install the pre-built artifacts by running:

cargo binstall wasm-bindgen-cli

Example

Import JavaScript things into Rust and export Rust things to JavaScript.

use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;

// Import the `window.alert` function from the Web.
#[wasm_bindgen]
extern "C" {
    fn alert(s: &str);
}

// Export a `greet` function from Rust to JavaScript, that alerts a
// hello message.
#[wasm_bindgen]
pub fn greet(name: &str) {
    alert(&format!("Hello, {}!", name));
}

Use exported Rust things from JavaScript with ECMAScript modules!

import { greet } from "./hello_world";

greet("World!");

Features

• Lightweight. Only pay for what you use. wasm-bindgen only generates bindings and glue for the JavaScript imports you actually use and Rust functionality that you export. For example, importing and using the document.querySelector method doesn't cause Node.prototype.appendChild or window.alert to be included in the bindings as well.

• ECMAScript modules. Just import WebAssembly modules the same way you would import JavaScript modules. Future compatible with WebAssembly modules and ECMAScript modules integration.

• Designed with the "Web IDL bindings" proposal in mind. Eventually, there won't be any JavaScript shims between Rust-generated wasm functions and native DOM methods. Because the Wasm functions are statically type checked, some of those native methods' dynamic type checks should become unnecessary, promising to unlock even-faster-than-JavaScript DOM access.
