Features

Currently it supports the following features:

• cargo web build - will build your project using one of Rust's three Web backends:
  • [asm.js] using Emscripten (when you pass --target-asmjs-emscripten; default)
  • [WebAssembly] using Emscripten (when you pass --target-webasm-emscripten)
  • [WebAssembly] using Rust's native WebAssembly backend (when you pass --target-webasm)
• cargo web test - will run your tests either under:
  • Under a headless instance of Google Chrome (default)
  • Under [Node.js] (when you pass --nodejs)
• cargo web start - will build your project, start an embedded webserver and will continously rebuild it if necessary.
• Will automatically download and install Emscripten for you (if necessary) on the following platforms:
  • Linux x86-64
  • Linux x86

Before compiling anything you will have to install the corresponding targets with rustup yourself:

• For compiling to asmjs through Emscripten: rustup target add asmjs-unknown-emscripten
• For compiling to WebAssembly through Emscripten: rustup target add wasm32-unknown-emscripten
• For compiling to WebAssembly through Rust's native backend: rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown

It's also highly recommended that you check out the [stdweb] crate if you want to interact with the JavaScript world in your project. (In fact, cargo-web is what makes it possible to use stdweb's js! macro on Rust's native WebAssembly backend.)

Installation

$ cargo install cargo-web

To upgrade:

$ cargo install --force cargo-web

Or clone and build with $ cargo build --release then place in your $PATH.
