This commit employs the strategy described in #908 to apply a non-breaking change to fix WebIDL to be compatible with all browsers, including Safari. The problem here is that `BaseAudioContext` and `AudioScheduledSourceNode` are not types in Safari, but they are types in Firefox/Chrome. The fix here was to move the contents of these two interfaces into mixins, and then include the mixins in all classes which inherit from these two classes. That should have the same effect as defining the methods inherently on the original interface. Additionally a special `[RustDeprecated]` attribute to WebIDL was added to signify interfaces this has happened to. Currently it's directly tailored towards this case of "this intermediate class doesn't exist in all browsers", but we may want to refine and extend the deprecation message over time. Although it's possible we could do this as a breaking change to `web-sys` I'm hoping that we can do this as a non-breaking change for now and then eventually on the next breaking release batch all these changes together, deleting the intermediate classes. This is also hopefully a good trial run for how stable web-sys can be when it's actually stable! cc #897 cc #908
wasm-bindgen
Facilitating high-level interactions between wasm modules and JavaScript.
Import JavaScript things into Rust and export Rust things to JavaScript.
extern crate wasm_bindgen;
use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;
// Import the `window.alert` function from the Web.
#[wasm_bindgen]
extern {
fn alert(s: &str);
}
// Export a `greet` function from Rust to JavaScript, that alerts a
// hello message.
#[wasm_bindgen]
pub fn greet(name: &str) {
alert(&format!("Hello, {}!", name));
}
Use exported Rust things from JavaScript with ECMAScript modules!
import { greet } from "./hello_world";
greet("World!");
Features
-
Lightweight. Only pay for what you use.
wasm-bindgen
only generates bindings and glue for the JavaScript imports you actually use and Rust functionality that you export. For example, importing and using thedocument.querySelector
method doesn't causeNode.prototype.appendChild
orwindow.alert
to be included in the bindings as well. -
ECMAScript modules. Just import WebAssembly modules the same way you would import JavaScript modules. Future compatible with WebAssembly modules and ECMAScript modules integration.
-
Designed with the "host bindings" proposal in mind. Eventually, there won't be any JavaScript shims between Rust-generated wasm functions and native DOM methods. Because the wasm functions are statically type checked, some of those native methods' dynamic type checks should become unnecessary, promising to unlock even-faster-than-JavaScript DOM access.
