Examples

Examples are run using --package instead of --example, as each example is organized as its own crate.

cargo run --package $example_name

# e.g.
cargo run --package download -- status https://ifconfig.me ip.json

WASM

The download example can be built as a web assembly application using wasm-pack:

cd examples/download
wasm-pack build --target web

In the examples/download directory, start an HTTP server, and open http://localhost:8000/:

python3 -m http.server 8000 # or
simple-http-server --nocache --port 8000 -i
