decodal-wasm

WebAssembly runtime package for Decodal.

This package exposes the Decodal evaluator and shared language service to browsers and other JavaScript runtimes that can load WebAssembly modules. It is generated from the Rust crate in crates/decodal-wasm with wasm-pack and is used by the official playground.

Use decodal-codemirror separately when you need CodeMirror 6 language support.

Install

npm install decodal-wasm

JSR:

deno add jsr:@hare/decodal-wasm

Usage

import init, { DecodalLanguageService } from 'decodal-wasm';

await init();

const files = {
  'main.dcdl': 'let schema = import "./schema.dcdl"; in schema.Server',
  'schema.dcdl': 'Server = App.Server & { port = 8080; };',
};

const service = new DecodalLanguageService({
  globals: {
    App: {
      Server: {
        port: { $decodal: 'Int' },
      },
    },
  },
  loadImport(_currentKey, specifier) {
    const key = specifier.startsWith('./') ? specifier.slice(2) : specifier;
    return { kind: 'source', key, name: key, source: files[key] };
  },
  completeImport() {
    return ['./schema.dcdl'];
  },
});

const result = service.evaluate('main.dcdl', 'main.dcdl', files['main.dcdl']);

console.log(JSON.parse(result));

const completion = service.complete(
  'main.dcdl',
  'App.Server.po',
  'App.Server.po'.length,
  false,
);

console.log(JSON.parse(completion));

globals, loadImport, and completeImport are host-owned. The package does not assume a filesystem or virtual project model. Import callbacks are synchronous; preload or cache remote content before evaluation.

Plain strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, and objects are concrete host values. Use { $decodal: 'String' | 'Int' | 'Float' | 'Bool' } for primitive schemas and { $decodal: 'Array', item: value } for array schemas. Descriptors also accept constraints and default.

Methods return JSON strings so callers can handle diagnostics and successful results without depending on Rust data structures.
