Wasm Check Save

Library for detect WebAssembly post-MVP features in NodeJS & Browser. Small and with zero dependencies.

About post-MVP WebAssembly features

https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/FutureFeatures.md#tracking-issues

Tests on Canary with flags:

Enable some experimental features for Chrome Canary (Mac):

/Applications/Google\ Chrome\ Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome\ Canary --js-flags="--experimental-wasm-eh"

Support feature detections

• Reference types (standardized)
• BigInt between js and wasm (standardized)
• Bulk memory operations (standardized)
• Memory 64-bit (--experimental-wasm-memory64)
• Exceptions (--experimental-wasm-eh)
• Multi values (standardized)
• Tail recursion calls (--experimental-wasm-return-call)
• Saturated (non-trapping) conversions from float to int (standardized)
• Sign extensions (standardized)
• SIMD (standardized)
• Threads (standardized)
• Type reflection (--experimental-wasm-type-reflection)

Install

yarn add wasm-check

or

npm i wasm-check

Usage

Check supported WebAssembly version

import * as check from 'wasm-check';
// or
// const check = require('wasm-check');

console.log(check.support());  // WebAssembly 1.0 (MVP)
console.log(check.support(1)); // ^^^
console.log(check.support(2)); // WebAssembly 2.0

Check supporting streaming compilation

import * as check from 'wasm-check';

console.log(check.supportStreaming);

Get all post-MVP WebAssembly features

import * as check from 'wasm-check';

const features = { ...check.feature };
console.log(features);

Output:

{
  bigInt: true,
  bulk: true,
  exceptions: false,
  memory64: false,
  mutableGlobal: true,
  multiValue: true,
  saturateConversions: true,
  signExtensions: true,
  tailCall: false,
  threads: false,
  simd: false,
  references: false,
  typeReflection: false,
  funcReferences: false
}

Or check concrete feature

import * as check from 'wasm-check';

console.log(check.feature.simd); // has SIMD support?
console.log(check.feature.tailCalls); // has tail call optimization support?
