Web App with WebAssembly and Vite Example

This repository provides an example project for building web applications using WebAssembly (Wasm) and Vite, a fast and flexible build tool. If you want to harness the power of WebAssembly and streamline your development process with Vite, this project can serve as a great starting point.

Overview

WebAssembly is a binary instruction format that enables high-performance execution of code on web browsers. It allows you to write code in languages like C, C++, Rust, and others, and then compile it into Wasm, which can be executed directly in web browsers. This project demonstrates how to integrate Wasm into a web application built with Vite.

Features

• Vite: Vite is used as the build tool for this project, providing fast development and optimized production builds. It offers features like hot module replacement, fast development server, and tree-shaking for efficient bundling.

• WebAssembly: This project includes a simple example of using WebAssembly to perform computations in a more efficient way compared to pure JavaScript.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to get the project up and running on your local machine:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/marpme/wasm-vite-example.git
   cd wasm-vite-example
   

2. Install dependencies:

   pnpm install
   

3. Build the project:

   To build the project for development:

   pnpm run dev
   

   To build the project for production:

   pnpm run build
   

4. Open the web app:

   Once the build is complete, you can open the web app in your browser at http://localhost:5174/.

Project Structure

The project has the following structure:

• app/: Contains the source code for the web application.
  • index.ts: The entry point of the application.
  • index.html: the HTML entry point for dev & build mode
• src/: Contains the WebAssembly source code and files.
• vite.config.js: The Vite configuration file.
• tsconfig.json: The TSC configuration file.
