Universal [WebAssembly](https://webassembly.org/) tools for JavaScript.
## Goal
This project aims to make a common and future-proof solution for WebAssembly modules support suitable for various JavaScript runtimes, frameworks, and build Tools following [WebAssembly/ES Module Integration](https://github.com/WebAssembly/esm-integration/tree/main/proposals/esm-integration) proposal from WebAssembly Community Group as much as possible while also trying to keep compatibility with current ecosystem libraries.
## Bindings API
When importing a `.wasm` module, unwasm resolves, reads, and then parses the module during the build process to get the information about imports and exports and even tries to [automatically resolve imports](#auto-imports) and generate appropriate code bindings for the bundler.
If the target environment supports [top level `await`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/await#top_level_await) and also the wasm module requires no imports object (or they are auto resolvable), unwasm generates bindings to allow importing wasm module like any other ESM import.
If the target environment lacks support for top-level `await` or the wasm module requires an imports object or `lazy` plugin option is set to `true`, unwasm will export a wrapped [Proxy](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Proxy) object which can be called as a function to evaluate the module with custom imports object lazily. This way we still have a simple syntax as close as possible to ESM modules and also we can lazily initialize modules.
**Example:** Using static import
```js
import { sum } from "unwasm/examples/sum.wasm";
```
**Example:** Using dynamic import
```js
const { sum } = await import("unwasm/examples/sum.wasm");
```
If your WebAssembly module requires an import object (unwasm can [automatically infer them](#auto-imports)), the usage syntax would be slightly different as we need to initiate the module with an import object first.
**Example:** Using dynamic import with imports object
```js
const { rand } = await import("unwasm/examples/rand.wasm").then((r) =>
r.default({
env: {
seed: () => () => Math.random() * Date.now(),
},
}),
);
```
**Example:** Using static import with imports object
```js
import initRand, { rand } from "unwasm/examples/rand.wasm";
await initRand({
env: {
seed: () => () => Math.random() * Date.now(),
},
});
```
> [!NOTE]
> When using **static import syntax**, and before initializing the module, the named exports will be wrapped into a function by proxy that waits for the module initialization and if called before init, will immediately try to call init without imports and return a Promise that calls a function after init.
### Module compatibility
There are situations where libraries require a [`WebAssembly.Module`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly/JavaScript_interface/Module) instance to initialize [`WebAssembly.Instance`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly/JavaScript_interface/Instance/Instance) themselves. In order to maximize compatibility, unwasm allows a specific import suffix `?module` to import `.wasm` files as a Module directly.
```js
import _sumMod from "unwasm/examples/sum.wasm?module";
const { sum } = await WebAssembly.instantiate(_sumMod).then((i) => i.exports);
```
> [!NOTE]
> Open [an issue](https://github.com/unjs/unwasm/issues/new/choose) to us! We would love to help those libraries to migrate!
## Integration
Unwasm needs to transform the `.wasm` imports to the compatible bindings. Currently, the only method is using a rollup plugin. In the future, more usage methods will be introduced.
### Install
First, install the [`unwasm`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/unwasm) npm package.
<!-- automd:pm-install -->
```sh
# ✨ Auto-detect
npx nypm install unwasm
# npm
npm install unwasm
# yarn
yarn add unwasm
# pnpm
pnpm install unwasm
# bun
bun install unwasm
```
<!-- /automd -->
### Builder Plugins
###### Rollup
```js
// rollup.config.js
import { rollup as unwasm } from "unwasm/plugin";
export default {
plugins: [
unwasm({
/* options */
}),
],
};
```
### Plugin Options
- `esmImport`: Direct import the wasm file instead of bundling, required in Cloudflare Workers and works with environments that allow natively importing a `.wasm` module (default is `false`)
- `lazy`: Import `.wasm` files using a lazily evaluated proxy for compatibility with runtimes without top-level await support (default is `false`)
## Tools
unwasm provides useful build tools to operate on `.wasm` modules directly.
**Note:** `unwasm/tools` subpath export is **not** meant or optimized for production runtime. Only rely on it for development and build time.
### `parseWasm`
Parses `wasm` binary format with useful information using [webassemblyjs/wasm-parser](https://github.com/xtuc/webassemblyjs/tree/master/packages/wasm-parser).
```js
import { readFile } from "node:fs/promises";
import { parseWasm } from "unwasm/tools";
const source = await readFile(new URL("./examples/sum.wasm", import.meta.url));
const parsed = parseWasm(source);
console.log(JSON.stringify(parsed, undefined, 2));
```
Example parsed result:
```json
{
"modules": [
{
"exports": [
{
"id": 5,
"name": "rand",
"type": "Func"
},
{
"id": 0,
"name": "memory",
"type": "Memory"
}
],
"imports": [
{
"module": "env",
"name": "seed",
"params": [],
"returnType": "f64"
}
]
}
]
}
```
## Auto Imports
unwasm can automatically infer the imports object and bundle them using imports maps (read more: [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script/type/importmap), [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#imports) and [WICG](https://github.com/WICG/import-maps)).
To hint to the bundler how to resolve imports needed by the `.wasm` file, you need to define them in a parent `package.json` file.
**Example:**
```js
{
"exports": {
"./rand.wasm": "./rand.wasm"
},
"imports": {
"env": "./env.mjs"
}
}
```
**Note:** The imports can also be prefixed with `#` like `#env` if you like to respect Node.js conventions.
