vtx-sdk

Official Rust SDK for developing VTX Project plugins.

vtx-sdk provides safe, idiomatic Rust bindings for the VTX Host ABI. It abstracts away the complexity of the WebAssembly Component Model (wit-bindgen), allowing you to focus on building powerful video processing logic.

✨ Features

Type-Safe APIs: Full Rust type support for database queries, HTTP handling, and file I/O.
Zero Boilerplate: Use the vtx_sdk::export! macro to generate all necessary Wasm component exports.
Database Integration: Built-in SQLite helpers with automatic JSON serialization/deserialization.
Helper Utilities:
- ResponseBuilder for fluent HTTP responses.
- UserBuilder for easy auth context management.
- VtxError for unified error handling.

📦 Installation

Add vtx-sdk to your plugin's Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
vtx-sdk = "0.1.1"
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
serde_json = "1.0"
anyhow = "1.0"

[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"] # Essential for compiling to Wasm

🚀 Quick Start

Here is a minimal example of a VTX plugin:

use vtx_sdk::prelude::*;

// 1. Define your plugin structure
struct MyPlugin;

// 2. Export the component world
vtx_sdk::export!(MyPlugin);

// 3. Implement the Plugin trait
impl Plugin for MyPlugin {
    fn handle(req: HttpRequest) -> Result<HttpResponse, VtxError> {
        // Log to the host console
        println!("Received request: {} {}", req.method, req.path);

        // Return a JSON response
        ResponseBuilder::ok()
            .json(&serde_json::json!({
                "message": "Hello from VTX Plugin!",
                "path": req.path
            }))
            .build()
    }

    fn get_manifest() -> Result<Manifest, VtxError> {
        Ok(Manifest {
            id: "com.example.hello".to_string(),
            version: "0.1.0".to_string(),
            name: "Hello World Plugin".to_string(),
            description: "A simple example plugin".to_string(),
        })
    }

    // Optional: Declare database tables
    fn get_resources() -> Result<Vec<String>, VtxError> {
        Ok(vec![])
    }

    // Optional: SQL migrations
    fn get_migrations() -> Result<Vec<String>, VtxError> {
        Ok(vec![])
    }
}

🛠️ Build & Deploy

Plugins must be compiled to the wasm32-wasip1 target.

Prerequisites

rustup target add wasm32-wasip1

Building with vtx-cli (Recommended)

The official CLI handles building, stripping, and packaging (.vtx) automatically.

vtx-cli build --package vtx-plugin-example

Manual Build

If you are not using the CLI, you can build the raw Wasm file:

cargo build --release --target wasm32-wasip1

Note: Raw Wasm files may need to be adapted using wasm-tools to work with the VTX runtime if not using vtx-cli.

📚 Modules Overview

db: Helpers for executing SQL queries and managing database transactions.
- Example: db::query("SELECT * FROM videos")
http: HTTP request/response types and builders.
auth: Utilities for parsing headers and constructing UserContext.
error: The VtxError enum maps internal errors to appropriate HTTP status codes (e.g., VtxError::Unauthorized -> 401).
