cryze / rust-webplatform

Rust library for Emscripten-compiled JS apps.

rust-webplatform

let body = HtmlNode::query("body").unwrap();
body.html_set("<h1>HELLO FROM RUST</h1> <button>CLICK ME</button>");
let mut button = HtmlNode::query("button").unwrap();
button.on("click", || alert("WITNESS ME"));

Thanks to the high heavens for tomaka and then AerialX for making this possible.

Running Rust in your Browser

To use rust-webplatform and Rust in your browser, you'll need a very particular setup. This is based off an older approach of cross-compilation; see this thread the status of merging Emscripten support into latest Rust.

Note: The version of Rust used is from March 12, which is a 1.0.0 beta. Some APIs are slightly changed and not yet stable in this version, and features in newer version of Rust will require modification.

• First, install multirust.
• Create a new folder. In that folder, save the setup.sh file.
• Run source setup.sh. It will download and install all the dependencies for the cargo-build setup.
• Clone this repository into your folder, cd into it, and run make.

You should run source setup.sh in the root directory each time you have a new terminal session to make building this project work.
