Building with Rust 🦀🕸️

In order to build the wasm files with Rust, you’ll need to clone the repo and run wasm-pack with nodejs as the target. This will create a set of files in pkg that can be used as a node module.

git clone https://github.com/drbh/wasm-flate.git
cd wasm-flate
wasm-pack build --target nodejs

You should have the following new files

pkg/    
├── LICENSE-APACHE    
├── LICENSE-MIT    
├── README.md    
├── wasm-flate.d.ts    
├── wasm-flate.js    
├── wasm-flate_bg.d.ts    
├── wasm-flate_bg.js    
├── wasm-flate_bg.wasm    
└── package.json
