Liquid Wallet Kit for WASM

This is only a proof of concept at the moment but we want to show our commitment to have the Liquid Wallet Kit working in the WASM environment.

Available as npm package.

For an example usage see the Liquid Web Wallet (source). Works as CT descriptor watch-only wallet or connected to a Jade.

For LWK Library developers

To build the WASM library you need rust and wasm-pack installed

$ wasm-pack build --dev

To enable web-serial:

$ RUSTFLAGS="--cfg=web_sys_unstable_apis" wasm-pack build --dev --features serial

For LWK library consumers (front-end developers)

Download the Liquid Web Wallet source

$ git clone https://github.com/RCasatta/liquid-web-wallet
$ npm install
$ npm run start

Open the browser at http://localhost:8080

Test

$ cd lwk_wasm
$ wasm-pack test --firefox # or --chrome

Then open the browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000, open also the dev tools to see console messages and network requests.

To avoid requiring opening the browser the headless mode is possible.

Note the increased timeout specified via the env var, the 20s default one could be too low.

$ cd lwk_wasm
$ WASM_BINDGEN_TEST_TIMEOUT=60 wasm-pack test --firefox --headless

run specific test (note the double --)

$ wasm-pack test --firefox --headless -- -- balance_test_testnet

Build NPM Package for release

Build rust crates in release mode, optimizing for space.

$ cd lwk_wasm/
$ RUSTFLAGS="--cfg=web_sys_unstable_apis" CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_OPT_LEVEL=z wasm-pack build --features serial

$ cd pkg
$ npm publish

Build wasm lib for profiling

To analyze the generated wasm file to optimize for size, we want to follow the same optimization as release but we want to keep debug info to analyze the produced lib with function names.

$ cd lwk_wasm/
$ RUSTFLAGS="--cfg=web_sys_unstable_apis" CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_OPT_LEVEL=z CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_DEBUG=2 wasm-pack build --profiling --features serial

With twiggy is then possible to analyze the library:

twiggy top -n 10 pkg/lwk_wasm_bg.wasm
