Introduction to WebAssembly & ai Visualization

This tutorial will teach you the foundation of creating ai visualizations with WebAssembly. You'll learn to:

  • Setup a WebAssembly project with Rust
  • Implement basic ai visualization components
  • Create interactive visualizations in the browser

Step 1: Project Setup

            
              $ mkdir wasm-ai-demo
              $ cd wasm-ai-demo
              $ cargo init
              $ cargo add wasm-bindgen
              $ cargo add wgpu
              $ cargo add web-sys --features event,HtmlElement,window
            
          

Create a new Rust wasm project and install necessary dependencies for web development.

Step 2: Core Implementation

Below is an example of a minimal ai visualization module in Rust:

WASM Module

                
                   // Rust code example
                  #[wasm_bindgen]
                  pub struct Visualizer {
                      canvas: web_sys::HtmlCanvasElement,
                      context: web_sys::WebGl2RenderingContext,
                  }
                
              

Browser Integration

                
                  // JavaScript glue code
                  const instance = await WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming(
                    fetch('visualizer.wasm'),
                    importObject
                  );
                
              

Step 3: Testing

            
               $ npm install -g wasm-pack
               $ wasm-pack build --target no-modules
               $ npm install -D parcel
               $ parcel index.html
            
          

Build your project and start a development server. Open index.html in browser to see your visualization running.
