Overview
With some minor tweaks and shims,
huff_core
can be compiled to a wasm target and then be used with JavaScript which even works in the browser.prop-test
which is not wasm compatibleinto_par_iter()
for creating parallel iterators. Not supported on wasm but can just fallback to a regular iterator.SystemTime::now
panics on wasm as it's not implemented so use a u64 unix timestamp on wasm target instead.The biggest change required was to refactor out the file system stuff and create an alternative "in memory" version which loads files from a HashMap instead of from disk.
With that all working, I put together a new module
huff_js
which includes JavaScript bindings so you can interface with the compiler via a JSON interface similar to standard json in solc.This would make Huff more accessible to integrate with web-based tools like https://www.evm.codes/ which is why I started looking at this in the first place. It would be awesome to have Huff available on there.
