wypes

Go library to define type-safe host functions in wazero and other WebAssembly runtimes.

Features:

• 🛡 Type safe
• 🐎 Fast
• 🔨 Works with any WebAssmebly runtime, like wazero or wasman
• 🧠 Handles for you memory operations
• 👉 Manages external references
• 🧼 Simple and clean API
• 🐜 Can be compiled with TinyGo
• 😎 No reflect, no unsafe, only generics and dedication.

📦 Installation

go get github.com/orsinium-labs/wypes

🔧 Usage

Define a function using provided types:

func addI32(a wypes.Int32, b wypes.Int32) wypes.Int32 {
    return a + b
}

Define a mapping of module and function names to function definitions:

modules := wypes.Modules{
    "env": {
        "add_i32": wypes.H2(addI32),
    },
}

Link the modules to the runtime. We provide a convenience method to do this for wazero:

err := modules.DefineWazero(r, nil)

That's it! Now the wasm module can call the env.add_i32 function.

🛹 Tricks

The library provides lots of useful types that you can use in your functions. Make sure to check the docs. A few highlights:

1. Context provides access to the context.Context passed into the guest function call in wazero.
2. Store provides access to all the state: memory, stack, references.
3. Duration and Time to pass time.Duration and time.Time (as UNIX timestamp).
4. HostRef can hold a reference to the Refs store of host objects.
5. Void is used as the return type for functions that return no value.
