Question: Support for WebAssembly (WASM)

[Sorte1]

Hi,

First of all, thank you for this library.

I was wondering if there are any plans to add support for compiling recastnavigation-rs to WebAssembly?

It would be great to use this library in a browser environment.

I’m aware of the recast-detour package for JavaScript, but it would be nice to have a Rust implementation available for this purpose.

If this isn't currently on the roadmap, could you provide any guidance on what might be required to make it compatible? For example:

• Are there specific parts of the library that rely heavily on native functions incompatible with WASM?
• Would contributions to support WASM be welcome, and if so, do you have any recommendations on where to start?

Thank you for your time and effort!

Best regards,
Noah (Sorte)

Hi @Sorte1,

At present, I have not compiled this library into wasm yet. Because this require to compile Rust and C++ (recastnavigation) at the same time.
I will try to add WebAssembly support for tests in recastnavigation-rs, using wasm-bindgen and wasm-bindgen-test, like my another library ozz-animation-rs. if successful, it will ensure that recastnavigation-rs can be compiled to wasm.
For further works, I have no plan currently.

Thanks
