wasm-http-hyper

A Rust WebAssembly library that provides seamless integration between Node.js's IncomingMessage and Rust's hyper::Request. This library allows you to parse Node.js HTTP requests in your Rust WASM code using the familiar hyper interface.

Features

Convert Node.js IncomingMessage to hyper::Request
Async body parsing with proper memory management
Type-safe interfaces with TypeScript support
Zero-copy buffer handling where possible

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
wasm-http-hyper = "0.1.0"

Usage

Rust Code

use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;
use wasm_http_hyper::IncomingMessage;

#[wasm_bindgen(js_name = "parseBody")]
pub async fn parse_body(incoming_message: IncomingMessage) -> String {
    let request = incoming_message.parse().await;
    String::from_utf8(request.body().to_vec()).unwrap_or_default()
}

Node.js Code

import { parseBody } from "./pkg/your_wasm_package.js";
import http from "node:http";

const server = http.createServer(async (req, res) => {
  res.end(await parseBody(req));
});

server.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log("Server running at http://localhost:3000/");
});

How It Works

The library provides a bridge between Node.js's HTTP request handling and Rust's hyper ecosystem:

Takes a Node.js IncomingMessage object as input
Asynchronously reads the request body using Node.js streams
Converts headers, method, and URL to their hyper equivalents
Returns a fully-formed hyper::Request object

Requirements

Rust 1.75 or later
wasm-bindgen 0.2 or later
Node.js 16.0 or later

Building

Install wasm-pack:

cargo install wasm-pack
