This is a project to test out WebAssembly.

JS/TS code to test the library


  • First install package => npm i web-assembly-whipshout

  • Copy and paste the code from below

Info


  • Rust generates *.d.ts with types for TS

  • JS values returned block uses JS variable types

  • Rust values returned block uses Rust variable types

  • Provider.new creates a new object using a Rust struct

  • Cannot get the data from the provider directly like in JS, we have to use Rust methods declared in the Struct to get the data

  • We can serialize/deserialize from Rust structures to JS objects and viceversa

  • For JS arrays, we can use Rust vectors or JsArray from Rust library

  • Remove comments of the for loop to test performance of fibonacci in Rust and JS (with 50 iterations takes a lot of time)

  return fibonacciJS(x - 1) + fibonacciJS(x - 2)
}

// Test performance (rust > js, around +35 rust gets so much much much better)
// Shows execution times for each step, left rust, right js
// for (let i = 0; i < 50; i++) {

//   fibonacci(i)
//   const wasmDuration = Date.now() - wasmStart
//
//   const jsStart = Date.now()
//   fibonacciJS(i)
//   const jsDuration = Date.now() - jsStart
//
//   console.log(`${i},${wasmDuration},${jsDuration}`)
// }
