TypeScript-Website VS wasm-bindgen

For new components, it does make sense to follow the style defined in the React documentation by writing components using a function definition. However, arrow functions using React.FC also remain a popular choice and are used by Vercel and the official TypeScript website

I opened a pull request to remove that, because you're right, there's no way somebody can read the whole handbook in 30 minutes!

Yep, this is my answer too - I use this pattern pretty often. For example, here's the main object that represents the TypeScript Playground at runtime: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-website/blob/86901a0520855050b16b0c23bd6923212fdd0c9c/packages/playground/src/index.ts#L622-L623

In this series of articles, I intend to provide a detailed, accurate, and step-by-step explanation of how to implement a RESTful web interface using a stack of Typescript, Node.js, Dynamoose, DynamoDB, Jest, Serverless Framework, AWS, and Amazon Cognito.

Install TypeScript package: npm i -D typescript

Beyond testing your code, it's an excellent idea to write your library in TypeScript. Type errors are among the most common type of mistake in JavaScript, so using TypeScript will almost always reduce development time and may occasionally prevent you from publishing broken code if you forget to add a test. Moreover, the excellent TypeScript compiler will allow you to avoid using a bundler when publishing your package (we'll get into this more later) and will make supporting TypeScript and JavaScript users simultaneously much easier.

TypeScript is a JavaScript superset with optional type annotations checked during transpilation.

Another strange issue could be seen in the strict class heritage organized definition of the DOM, which can not be handled very well by rust because of a still unsolved bindgen issue (#210).

For a much simpler but less flexible approach there's wasm-pack for creating JS packages from Rust, and wasm-bindgen for easy interop. Both have very good documentation.

We encountered quite a few hurdles on our journey. For one, we had to build our own yew-webtransport and yew-websocket integration from scratch by adding WebTransport definitions to wasm-bindgen (pull request link). We also had to add WebTransport support to the h3 crate (pull request link). co-created by @ten3roberts

Go with your WebAssembly module idea. Since it sounds like your chess engine does not draw a UI, it shouldn't be too difficult. wasm-bindgen will be your best friend.

I've never tried it, but apparently some bindings exist, e.g. https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen

So you can either try manipulating the DOM w/ some bindings or draw to canvas.

Google also brings up this GitHub issue.

If you want to learn more on wasm-pack, there is a wasm-pack book as well as some fairly detailed wasm-bindgen docs. There are a few resources for learning Rust itself in the December newsletter. Finally, please get in touch if you would like to see more content on Deno and Fresh. I hope you found the content useful and am keen to hear about possible improvements.

Love the article.

In my mind I see the problem of dynamic linking in rust to have a bunch of overlap with the "I want this rust library to be exposed in my higher level GC'd language with minimal safety/handwritten bindings" problem.

My hunch is that the lack of expressiveness of the C ABI is holding back both. the thing I'd love to see some sort of "higher level than the C ABI" come out. And something like `wasm-bindgen`[0] to exist for more languages.

Here's a link to the rust "interopable_api" proposal! I don't understand all the implications, but it seems to be in the right direction https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/105586

Rust has https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen and https://crates.io/crates/sledgehammer, the latter of which batches together JS calls to reduce the FFI cost. https://dioxuslabs.com/ uses these to great effect.

This seems like it could be super useful for integrating with wasm-bindgen and TypeScript. Last I checked, the types generated by wasm-bindgen left a lot to be desired (no disrespect intended, wasm-bindgen is an awesome project). A few years ago, I contributed the skip_typescript attribute to wasm_bindgen that allowed you to override the type generation by hand-writing your own types (using a custom typescript section), but I wonder if this could simply generate higher quality types without the manual intervention.
