vlt Debuts New JavaScript Package Manager and Serverless Registry at NodeConf EU
vlt introduced its new package manager and a serverless registry this week, innovating in a space where npm has stagnated.
experimental-pathkit-wasm
Advanced tools
A WASM version of Skia's PathOps toolkit.
To use the library, run npm install experimental-pathkit-wasm
and then simply include it:
<script src="/node_modules/experimental-pathkit-wasm/bin/pathkit.js"></script>
PathKitInit({
locateFile: (file) => '/node_modules/experimental-pathkit-wasm/bin/'+file,
}).then((PathKit) => {
// Code goes here using PathKit
});
PathKit comes in two parts, a JS loader and the actual WASM code. The JS loader creates
a global PathKitInit
that can be called to load the WASM code. The locateFile
function
is used to tell the JS loader where to find the .wasm file. By default, it will
look for /pathkit.wasm, so if this is not the case, use locateFile
to configure
this properly.
The PathKit
object returned through the .then() callback is fully loaded and ready to use.
See example.html for a fuller example of how to use the library.
WebPack's support for WASM is still somewhat experimental, but PathKit can be used with a few configuration changes.
In the JS code, use require():
const PathKitInit = require('experimental-pathkit-wasm/bin/pathkit.js')
PathKitInit().then((PathKit) => {
// Code goes here using PathKit
})
Since WebPack does not expose the entire /node_modules/
directory, but instead
packages only the needed pieces, we have to copy pathkit.wasm into the build directory.
One such solution is to use CopyWebpackPlugin.
For example, add the following plugin:
config.plugins.push(
new CopyWebpackPlugin([
{ from: 'node_modules/experimental-pathkit-wasm/bin/pathkit.wasm' }
])
);
If webpack gives an error similar to:
ERROR in ./node_modules/experimental-pathkit-wasm/bin/pathkit.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'fs' in '...'
Then, add the following configuration change to the node section of the config:
config.node = {
fs: 'empty'
};
