Running C# compiled to WASM dlls in WASM runtimes

[schaveyt]

With projects like wasmedge runtime does this library help enable compiling c# to WASM dlls executable by such runtimes?

The actual compilation to WASM is handled by .NET (https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/tree/main/src/mono/wasm).

This project main goals are:

1. Make it possible to use the compiled libraries in any JavaScript environment (.NET currently supports web browsers only)
2. Provide a user-friendly workflow for consuming the compiled libraries in JS: packing everything into single-file UMD library on publish, generating boilerplate interop code in both C# and JS, generating TypeScript definitions for the bindings, etc.

For point 1, is that the same as saying.."runs in Nodejs"?

[elringus]

There are other cases. For example, web extensions for VS Code, which can't use any node modules or window/document browser APIs. That's my primary use case for this project at the moment.
