@hpcc-js/wasm
This repository contains a collection of useful c++ libraries compiled to WASM for (re)use in Node / Web Browsers / JavaScript Libraries.
Installation
The simplest way to include this project is via NPM:
npm install --save @hpcc-js/wasm
Contents
@hpcc-js/wasm includes the following files in its dist
folder:
index.js
/ index.min.js
files: Exposes all the available APIs for all WASM files.- WASM Files:
graphvizlib.wasm
- ...more to follow...
Important: WASM files are dynamically loaded at runtime (this is a browser / emscripten requirement), which has a few implications for the consumer:
Pros:
- While this package has potentially many large WASM files, only the ones being used will ever be downloaded from your CDN / Web Server.
Cons:
- Most browsers don't support
fetch
and loading pages via file://
URN, so for testing / development work you will need to run a test web server. - Bundlers (RollupJS / WebPack) will ignore the WASM files, so you will need to manually ensure they are present in your final distribution (typically they are placed in the same folder as the bundled JS)
API Reference
Common
Utility functions relating to @hpcc-js/wasm as a package
# wasmFolder([url]) · Source
If url is specified, sets the default location for all WASM files. If url is not specified it returns the current url (defaults to undefined
).
# __hpcc_wasmFolder · Source
Global variable for setting default WASM location, this is an alternative to wasmFolder
GraphViz
GraphViz WASM library, see graphviz.org for c++ details.
Note: While this package is similar to Viz.js, it employs a completely different build methodology taken from GraphControl.
Note 2: All API functions are namespaced in graphviz
.
# layout(dotSource[, outputFormat][, layoutEngine]) · Source
Performs layout for the supplied dotSource, see The DOT Language for specification.
outputFormat supports the following options:
- dot
- dot_json
- json
- svg (default)
- xdot_json
See Output Formats for more information.
layoutEngine supports the following options:
