harfbuzzjs

harfbuzzjs

Providing harfbuzz shaping library for client/server side JavaScript projects.

Building

1. Install emscripten, git, cmake, nodejs, ninja and Google Closure and make sure emcmake (emscripten related) is on your path
2. ./build.sh

Not able to install all these in order to build .wasm? Download the pack from releases tab of the project.

Usage and testing

Browser

1. (cd example && node server.js)
2. Open the link on browser

Node.js

1. node examples/hbjs.example.node.js

Even the fact we provide a tiny wrapper around main functionalities of harfbuzz, it's easy to use other parts of the using module._hb* functions, see example/nohbjs.js to see how that will be possible.

wapm

The wapm .wasm file is build on /wapm directory of this project, run ./build.sh of that folder to get .wasm a full version of harfbuzz for wapm.

I need more of the API, what should I do?

Either file a bug, mention your usecase and wait for a new release.

You can also add the symbol you like to CMakeLists.txt and compile the pack yourself.

Another option also would be use .wasm and .js available at /wapm folder which is the full version but don't have an optimal size.
