OrbWasmtime

Run WebAssembly modules in Elixir via Rust & Wasmtime.

Note: this project is in alpha and will change. For another WebAssembly runtime for Elixir check out Wasmex.

Installation

Add orb_wasmtime to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:orb_wasmtime, "~> 0.1.2"}
  ]
end

About

OrbWasmtime lets you run WebAssembly modules. You can call functions, list exports, pass imports, get/set globals, and read/write memory.

defmodule Example do
  alias OrbWasmtime.Instance

  def run() do
    inst = Instance.run(example_wat())
    add = Instance.capture(inst, :add, 2)
    add.(2, 3) # 5
    add.(4, 5) # 9
  end

  defp example_wat() do
    """
    (module $Add
      (func (export "add") (param $a i32) (param $b i32) (result i32)
        (i32.add (local.get $a) (local.get $b))
      )
    )
    """
  end
end
