-
./CompileAPI- A backend service which compiles.swiftinto WebAssembly object file. Implemented by Swift AWS Lambda Runtime. -
./Frontend- A web frontend editor application. Implemented by SwiftWasm and Tokamak. -
./PreviewSystem- A shared package to provide prebuilt.swiftmoduleand wasm library.
$ docker-compose up# Build PreviewSystem
$ ./PreviewSystem/build-script.sh
# Start frontend
$ cd Frontend
$ npm install
$ npm run start
# Start backend

$ swift run CompileSwiftWasmCompileAPI is deployed with SwiftWasm toolchain built on Amazon Linux 2 and PreviewSystem.
.swiftmodule files in PreviewSystem are used to compile user input code that can use Tokamak or JavaScriptKit. This API returns not an executable wasm binary but an object file.
The object file will be linked with prebuilt library on browser.
Frontend web application sends requests to CompilerAPI, link compiled object files and shared library and run linked executable wasm.
library.so.wasm is the shared library combined with Swift Standard Library, Tokamak and JavaScriptKit. The library is built by ./PreviewSystem/build-script.sh
This frontend application uses WebAssembly linker implemented by Swift named chibi-link to reduce CompileAPI's load and also reduce transfer data size. The linker is executed in Web Worker to avoid blocking UI.
