Features

@wasmer/wasi uses the same API than the future WASI integration in Node, to help transition to it once it becomes available in Node.

However, @wasmer/wasi is focused on:

• Bringing WASI to an Isomorphic context (Node.js and the Browser) 🖥️
• Make it easy to plug in different filesystems (via wasmfs) 📂
• Make it type-safe using Typescript 👷
• Pure JavaScript implementation (no Native bindings needed) 🚀
• ~ 15KB minified + gzipped 📦

Installation

For instaling @wasmer/wasi, just run this command in your shell:

npm install --save @wasmer/wasi

Quick Start

This quick start is for browsers. For node, WasmFs is not required

import { WASI } from "@wasmer/wasi";
import wasiBindings from "@wasmer/wasi/lib/bindings/node";
import { lowerI64Imports } from "@wasmer/wasm-transformer"
// Use this on the browser
// import wasiBindings from "@wasmer/wasi/lib/bindings/browser";

import { WasmFs } from "@wasmer/wasmfs";

// Instantiate a new WASI Instance
const wasmFs = new WasmFs();
let wasi = new WASI({
  args: [],
  env: {},
  bindings: {
    ...wasiBindings,
    fs: wasmFs.fs
  }
});

const startWasiTask = async () => {
  // Fetch our Wasm File
  const response = await fetch("./my-wasi-module.wasm");
  const responseArrayBuffer = await response.arrayBuffer();

  // Instantiate the WebAssembly file
  const wasm_bytes = new Uint8Array(responseArrayBuffer).buffer;
  const lowered_wasm = await lowerI64Imports(wasm_bytes);
  let module = await WebAssembly.compile(lowered_wasm);
  let instance = await WebAssembly.instantiate(module, {
    ...wasi.getImports(module)
  });

  // Start the WebAssembly WASI instance!
  wasi.start(instance);

  // Output what's inside of /dev/stdout!
  const stdout = await wasmFs.getStdOut();
  console.log(stdout);
};
startWasiTask();
