Wasm template for Rust hosting without npm-deploy on github pages using Travis script

Last updated: 10th-March-2023

It automatically hosts you wasm projects on gh-pages using a travis script on the latest commit.

Requirements

• rust-toolchain
• wasm-pack
• npm

Steps :

For building :

• Download the template as it is
• Change Cargo.toml to suit yourself
• Change www/package.json to suit yourself, also remember to change

  "dependencies": {
    "wasm-template-rust": "file:../pkg"
  },

Into :

  "dependencies": {
    "YOUR-PROJECT-NAME-SAME-AS-IN-CARGO.toml": "file:../pkg"
  },

• Run wasm-pack build inside your project dictionary
• Run npm install inside www folder
• Next, modify www/index.js to import your PROJECT instead of the wasm-template-rust package
• Again run npm install inside www folder (just to be sure)
• Finally run npm run start inside www and visit http://localhost:8080 to see the results

For deployment :

The template comes with a preconfigured .travis.yml but you will still need to :

• Create a new branch by the name gh-pages
• Github pages should be enabled by default but if not go to Settings -> GitHub Pages and enable it on your gh-pages branch. You will also find the link to your to-be hosted page there
• Make a personal access token (only the token no need for command line here)
• Next we will need to put this token into our travis settings, go to more options -> settings -> Environment Variables and enter the token value (the generated token code) and name as GITHUB_TOKEN, it should look like :

Additional :

• Update LICENSE-MIT and LICENSE-APACHE to reflect your name and year
• Read Rust and WebAssembly
• Also read wasm-pack
• Also see wasm-conway made using Rust 🦀 and WebAssembly 🕸 hosted at gh-pages
