Getting started with WebAssembly and Rust
Blog post from LogRocket
The text provides an introduction and tutorial on using WebAssembly with the Rust programming language, emphasizing the integration of Rust code into web applications. It explains the use of wasm-pack, a tool for packaging Rust crates for WebAssembly, and discusses the process of setting up a project, compiling Rust code to Wasm, and interacting with it through JavaScript. The guide covers essential tools and concepts such as wasm-bindgen for generating bindings between Wasm and JavaScript, and the use of web-sys and js-sys crates for interacting with web APIs. It offers practical examples of exporting functions, structs, and enums from Rust to JavaScript, and highlights the importance of creating custom bindings for JavaScript classes and functions. The text also touches on debugging and monitoring Rust applications using LogRocket, a tool that provides insights into web frontend performance and user interactions.
