Ghostty's wasm code talks to JavaScript through the zig-js library (mitchellh/zig-js, pinned in build.zig.zon). The first port invented its own import ABI because the dependency wasn't available; now: - ghostty-os/src/wasm/js.rs is a Rust port of zig-js's Zig side (Ref, Value, Object get/set/call/new, global, runtime, string) using its "zig-js" import module, function names and NaN-boxed value refs. - web_canvas face and the atlas debug canvas make the same JS calls as Ghostty's Zig code. - zig-js's unmodified JS host (+ LICENSE) is vendored under crates/ghostty-wasm/js/zig-js and drives the node test. Test Plan: - cargo test -p ghostty-wasm (node >= 24; asserts zig-js imports and no leaked host values)

# zig-js Glue
|
|
|
|
This is the JS library that glues with the Zig library so that Zig
|
|
can communicate with the host JS environment when compiled to WebAssembly.
|
|
Learn more about the zig-js library at the
|
|
[zig-js repository](https://github.com/mitchellh/zig-js).
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
There are two methods for using the JS side of zig-js:
|
|
|
|
1. This library is a standard npm package, so you can install and use it
|
|
as you normally would any other package. Add it to your package.json and
|
|
integrate it with the bundler you're already using.
|
|
|
|
2. You can run `npm run build` in this directory and the library will be
|
|
bundled into a single JS file in `dist/`. You can then copy the single JS
|
|
file into your web project. We bundle both a normal CJS
|
|
module at `dist/index.js` as well as an ES module at `dist/module.js`.
|
|
TypeScript type definitions are available in `dist/types.d.ts`.
