cargo html

create self-contained HTML programs

Want to run basic console programs in the browser? Too lazy to configure CORS properly to fetch/share WASM? Hate firing up a webserver when you'd rather just double click an HTML file? Easily confused by advanced concepts such as "I have multiple files"?

cargo html solves all of this, by generating .html files which embed and encode their javascript, WASM, and WASI implementations directly into said HTML. No CORS, no --allow-file-access-from-files flags, no sidecar files, 100% self contained.

# install

cargo install cargo-html


# create a project

cargo new hello-world

cd hello-world


# build a project

cargo html


# view/run said project in the browser

start "" target/wasm32-wasi/debug/hello-world.html

To reproduce the gh-pages of my fork of that repository from scratch:

# init

cargo install cargo-html

git clone --branch cargo-html-demo https://github.com/MaulingMonkey/rust-mini-games

cd rust-mini-games


# build

cargo html --release

robocopy /S target/wasm32-wasi/release . *.html


# create branch

git checkout -b gh-pages

git add -A .

git commit -m "Updated examples"

Requires wasm, async-functions, promises, textencoder, and being generally awesome.
