# Wasmer-Runtime

Wasmer-runtime is a library that makes embedding WebAssembly
in your application easy, efficient, and safe.

# How to use Wasmer-Runtime

The easiest way is to use the [`instantiate`] function to create an [`Instance`].
Then you can use [`call`] or [`func`] and then [`call`][func.call] to call an exported function safely.

[`instantiate`]: https://docs.rs/wasmer-runtime/*/wasmer_runtime/fn.instantiate.html
[`Instance`]: https://docs.rs/wasmer-runtime/*/wasmer_runtime/struct.Instance.html
[`call`]: https://docs.rs/wasmer-runtime/*/wasmer_runtime/struct.Instance.html#method.call
[`func`]: https://docs.rs/wasmer-runtime/*/wasmer_runtime/struct.Instance.html#method.func
[func.call]: https://docs.rs/wasmer-runtime/*/wasmer_runtime/struct.Function.html#method.call

## Here's an example:

Given this WebAssembly:

```wat
(module
  (type $t0 (func (param i32) (result i32)))
  (func $add_one (export "add_one") (type $t0) (param $p0 i32) (result i32)
    get_local $p0
    i32.const 1
    i32.add))
```

compiled into wasm bytecode, we can call the exported "add_one" function:

```rust
static WASM: &'static [u8] = &[
    // The module above compiled to bytecode goes here.
    0x00, 0x61, 0x73, 0x6d, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x06, 0x01, 0x60,
    0x01, 0x7f, 0x01, 0x7f, 0x03, 0x02, 0x01, 0x00, 0x07, 0x0b, 0x01, 0x07,
    0x61, 0x64, 0x64, 0x5f, 0x6f, 0x6e, 0x65, 0x00, 0x00, 0x0a, 0x09, 0x01,
    0x07, 0x00, 0x20, 0x00, 0x41, 0x01, 0x6a, 0x0b, 0x00, 0x1a, 0x04, 0x6e,
    0x61, 0x6d, 0x65, 0x01, 0x0a, 0x01, 0x00, 0x07, 0x61, 0x64, 0x64, 0x5f,
    0x6f, 0x6e, 0x65, 0x02, 0x07, 0x01, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x02, 0x70, 0x30,
];

use wasmer_runtime::{
    instantiate,
    Value,
    imports,
    error,
};

fn main() -> error::Result<()> {
    // We're not importing anything, so make an empty import object.
    let import_object = imports! {};

    let mut instance = instantiate(WASM, import_object)?;

    let values = instance
        .func("add_one")?
        .call(&[Value::I32(42)])?;

    assert_eq!(values[0], Value::I32(43));
    
    Ok(())
}
```

# Additional Notes:

The `wasmer-runtime` is build to support compiler multiple backends.
Currently, we support the [Cranelift] compiler with the [`wasmer-clif-backend`] crate.

You can specify the compiler you wish to use with the [`compile_with`] function.
