Provides a capability to run JavaScript inside of Hyperlight using quickjs as the JavaScript engine.

• Execution Monitors - Timeout and resource limit enforcement for handler execution
• Observability - Metrics and tracing
• Crashdumps - Creating and analyzing guest crash dumps
• Debugging the guest runtime - Debugging the guest runtime using GDB or LLDB
• JS Host API - Node.js bindings

1. Install Rust
2. Install just. - cargo install just.
3. Install clang:

For Windows see here.

For Ubuntu:

    wget https://apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh 
    chmod +x ./llvm.sh
    sudo ./llvm.sh 16 all
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/llvm-16/bin/clang-cl /usr/bin/clang-cl
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/llvm-16/bin/llvm-lib /usr/bin/llvm-lib

For Azure Linux:

    sudo dnf remove clang -y|| true
    sudo dnf install clang16 -y
    sudo dnf install clang16-tools-extra -y

In addition on Linux you will need to install the x86_64-unknown-none target:

    rustup target add x86_64-unknown-none

To build the project, run:

# Build the project
just build

To run the tests, run:

just test

The run_handler example demonstrates how to process a json formatted event using a JavaScript handler function.

cargo run --example run_handler 

Once you see Enter the name of the example to run or 'exit' to quit: you can enter the name of the example you want to run, valid names are the names of directories in src/hyperlight-js/examples/data (e.g., echo, fibonacci, regex) or exit to quit.

Alternatively you can pass the name of the sample that you want to run on the command line:

cargo run --example run_handler <name_of_sample>

The metrics example demonstrates how to use the prometheus to collect metrics from the guest.

cargo run --example metrics 

The tracing example demonstrates how to use to configure tracing subscribers

• tracing_forest subscriber

  cargo run --example tracing forest

• fmt subscriber

  cargo run --example tracing fmt

Hyperlight-js supports debugging the guest runtime using GDB or LLDB through the gdb feature. For instructions on how to set up debugging, see the Debugging the guest runtime guide.
