Alex Crichton 995be7c027 Replace target flags with --target
This commit deprecates the `--web`, `--no-modules`, and `--nodejs` flags
in favor of one `--target` flag. The motivation for this commit is to be
consistent between `wasm-bindgen` and `wasm-pack` so documentation for
one is applicable for the other (so we don't have to document everywhere
what the translation is between flags). Additionally this should make it
a bit easier to add new targets (if necessary) in the future as it won't
add to the proliferation of flags.

For now the old flags (like `--web`) continue to be accepted, but
they'll be removed during the next set of breaking changes for
`wasm-bindgen`.

The wasm-bindgen Command Line Interface

The wasm-bindgen command line tool has a number of options available to it to tweak the JavaScript that is generated. The most up-to-date set of flags can always be listed via wasm-bindgen --help.

Note: usually, one should use a wasm-pack-based workflow rather than running the wasm-bindgen command line tool by hand.

Usage

wasm-bindgen [options] ./target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/crate.wasm

Options

--out-dir DIR

The target directory to emit the JavaScript bindings, TypeScript definitions, processed .wasm binary, etc...

--target

This flag indicates what flavor of output what wasm-bindgen should generate. For example it could generate code to be loaded in a bundler like Webpack, a native web page, or Node.js. For a full list of options to pass this flag, see the section on deployment

--no-modules-global VAR

When --target no-modules is used this flag can indicate what the name of the global to assign generated bindings to.

For more information about this see the section on deployment

--typescript

Output a TypeScript declaration file for the generated JavaScript bindings. This is on by default.

--no-typescript

By default, a *.d.ts TypeScript declaration file is generated for the generated JavaScript bindings, but this flag will disable that.

--debug

Generates a bit more JS and wasm in "debug mode" to help catch programmer errors, but this output isn't intended to be shipped to production.

--no-demangle

When post-processing the .wasm binary, do not demangle Rust symbols in the "names" custom section.

--keep-debug

When post-processing the .wasm binary, do not strip DWARF debug info custom sections.

--browser

When generating bundler-compatible code (see the section on deployment) this indicates that the bundled code is always intended to go into a browser so a few checks for Node.js can be elided.
