WAGI is the easiest way to get started doing cloud-side WASM web apps.
WAGI (Web Assembly Gateway Interface) is an adaptation of CGI for WebAssembly WASI modules. This example uses the WAGI server.
This repo contains a Rust implementation of a WAGI program that shows off the basic WAGI features.
You can test the output of this command using cargo run
.
However, when building it for WAGI, you need to compile this as Web Assembly with WASI support:
$ rustup target add wasm32-wasi # You only need to do this once to install the wasm32-wasi compiler
$ cargo build --target wasm32-wasi --release
(We recommend using --release
because it considerably reduces the size.)
The resulting binary will be written to target/wasm32-wasi/release/hello_wagi.wasm
.
For this module to work, your module.toml
should look like this:
[[module]]
# Mount this to example.com/env
route = "/env"
# Point to the directory that 'cargo build' wrote the WASM file
module = "/path/to/env_wagi/target/wasm32-wasi/release/env_wagi.wasm"
# Mount the source code of this repo
volumes = { "/" = "/path/to/env_wagi" }
# Set an environment variable
environment.TEST_NAME = "test value"
Note that the volumes
mounts this source code repo to the /
of the WASM runtime. We use this to list files, and also to read the contents of the LICENSE.txt
file.
Here is an example using curl
to access localhost:3000
and also override the HOST
header. The -vvv
flag sets Curl's verbosity level.
$ curl -vvv -H "HOST:foo.example.com" localhost:3000/env?greet=matt\&foo=bar
* Trying 127.0.0.1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
