## Install `wasm-bindgen-cli`

You can install it using `cargo install`:

```
cargo install wasm-bindgen-cli
```

Or, you can download it from the
[release page](https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/releases).

If you have [`cargo-binstall`](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-binstall) installed,
then you can install the pre-built artifacts by running:

```
cargo binstall wasm-bindgen-cli
```

## Example

Import JavaScript things into Rust and export Rust things to JavaScript.

```rust
use wasm_bindgen::prelude::*;

// Import the `window.alert` function from the Web.
#[wasm_bindgen]
extern "C" {
    fn alert(s: &str);
}

// Export a `greet` function from Rust to JavaScript, that alerts a
// hello message.
#[wasm_bindgen]
pub fn greet(name: &str) {
    alert(&format!("Hello, {}!", name));
}
```

Use exported Rust things from JavaScript with ECMAScript modules!

```js
import { greet } from "./hello_world";

greet("World!");
```

## Features

* **Lightweight.** Only pay for what you use. `wasm-bindgen` only generates
  bindings and glue for the JavaScript imports you actually use and Rust
  functionality that you export. For example, importing and using the
  `document.querySelector` method doesn't cause `Node.prototype.appendChild` or
  `window.alert` to be included in the bindings as well.

* **ECMAScript modules.** Just import WebAssembly modules the same way you would
  import JavaScript modules. Future compatible with [WebAssembly modules and
  ECMAScript modules integration][wasm-es-modules].

* **Designed with the ["Web IDL bindings" proposal][webidl-bindings] in mind.**
  Eventually, there won't be any JavaScript shims between Rust-generated wasm
  functions and native DOM methods. Because the Wasm functions are statically
  type checked, some of those native methods' dynamic type checks should become
  unnecessary, promising to unlock even-faster-than-JavaScript DOM access.
