Installing wasm-bindgen

wasm-bindgen is used to bind entities from Rust into JavaScript and vice versa.

wasm-bindgen makes it more natural to import exported entities from Rust into JavaScript. JavaScript developers will find that wasm-bindgen's use of WebAssembly is similar to JavaScript.

This enables the use of richer and easier APIs while converting Rust into a WebAssembly module. wasm-bindgen uses these features and provides a simple API to use. It ensures that there is high-level interaction happening between wasm modules and JavaScript.

wasm-bindgen provides a channel between JavaScript and WebAssembly to communicate something other than numbers, such as objects, strings, and arrays.

To install wasm-bindgen-cli, use the following cargo command:

$ cargo install wasm-bindgen-cli

Once successfully installed, let's run the wasm-bindgen CLI:

$ wasm-bindgen  --help
