Just the beginning, and learning Rust... come back in a year or so?
Requires specifying either webgl_1 or webgl_2 in features
Other than that, depend as usual via cargo and check out the docs
awsm is a collection of helpers for doing wasm in Rust
There are two different goals:
An example of this would be the start_raf_ticker() function, as well as most of the direct webgl functions.
Moving these into gloo and deprecating them here would be considered a good thing! If/when that happens, the original function might be kept around as a backwards compatible shim.
An example of this would be the webgl_renderer.
It makes sane choices about how to cache various lookups, for example, but not every project would want that hardcoded.
There are two steps:
watch-dev.bat in the main folder.This will watch for changes to rust sources and rebuild / bindgen to create the wasm on change
Usually this is the window to look at for iterative feedback
This is required to cause changes to be reloaded (npm start isn't enough)
This will start up the webpack dev server (and it will restart when rust recompiles successfully)
The reason these are kept separate is that I found the best way is to keep them in completely separate windows. The webpack dev server generates its own noise and does weird coloring stuff.
There could theoretically be different settings for "watch-dev" i.e. to only run cargo check etc. but I haven't really needed that yet
Anyway, made sense to keep the steps separate :)
Sorry watch-dev is a bat. Could easily be made into .sh or whatever. Also it's not in npm scripts since it's nice to just double-click it ;)
It's changing one character, but you can only test one at a time (since it's a compile-time flag)
For the app example - npm run bundle in the examples folder should cover it
But make sure wasm-opt is installed by downloading the latest release from binaryen and putting it in the path somewhere
For the library - it's just normal cargo package/publish in the lib/ folder
As a way to self-motivate getting over the learning curve (this is my first Rust project), I thought it might help to livestream the coding+learning sessions, and also archive them in a playlist for a look-back.
