The Package for using WASI easily from Node and the Browser

WASI
import { WASI } from "@wasmer/wasi"
Constructor
new WASI(wasiConfigObject): WASI
Constructs a new WASI instance.
The wasiConfigObject is as follows:
const browserBindings = require("@wasmer/wasi/lib/bindings/browser");
// for Node:
// const nodeBindings = require("@wasmer/wasi/lib/bindings/node");
​
let myWASIInstance = new WASI({
  // OPTIONAL: The pre-opened dirctories
  preopenDirectories: {},
​
  // OPTIONAL: The environment vars
  env: {},
​
  // OPTIONAL: The arguments provided
  args: [],
​
  // OPTIONAL: The environment bindings (fs, path),
  // useful for using WASI in diferent environments
  // such as Node.js, Browsers, ...
  bindings: {
    // hrtime: (time?: [number, number]) -> number
    // exit: (code?: number) -> void
    // kill: (pid: number, signal?: string | number) -> void
    // randomFillSync: (buffer: Buffer, offset?: number, size?: number) -> Buffer
    // isTTY: () -> bool
    // fs: Filesystem (with similar API interface as Node 'fs' module)
    // path: Path  (with similar API Interface as Node 'path' module)
    ...browserBindings // Use `nodeBindings` for Node
  }
});
This returns a WASI instance. Please see the Instance properties section to learn about the WASI instance.
