This allows a simple way to run the existing asyncio tests under the webassembly port, which doesn't support `asyncio.run()`. Signed-off-by: Damien George <damien@micropython.org> |

MicroPython WebAssembly
MicroPython for WebAssembly.
Dependencies
Building the webassembly port bears the same requirements as the standard MicroPython ports with the addition of Emscripten, and optionally terser for the minified file.
The output includes micropython.mjs (a JavaScript wrapper for the
MicroPython runtime) and micropython.wasm (actual MicroPython compiled to
WASM).
Build instructions
In order to build micropython.mjs, run:
$ make
To generate the minified file micropython.min.mjs, run:
$ make min
Running with Node.js
Access the repl with:
$ make repl
This is the same as running:
$ node build-standard/micropython.mjs
The initial MicroPython GC heap size may be modified using:
$ node build-standard/micropython.mjs -X heapsize=64k
Where stack size may be represented in bytes, or have a k or m suffix.
MicroPython scripts may be executed using:
$ node build-standard/micropython.mjs hello.py
Alternatively micropython.mjs may by accessed by other JavaScript programs in node
using the require command and the general API outlined below. For example:
const mp_mjs = await import("micropython.mjs");
const mp = await mp_mjs.loadMicroPython();
mp.runPython("print('hello world')");
Or without await notation:
import("micropython.mjs").then((mp_mjs) => {
mp_mjs.loadMicroPython().then((mp) => {
mp.runPython("print('hello world')");
});
});
Running with HTML
The following code demonstrates the simplest way to load micropython.mjs in a
browser, create an interpreter context, and run some Python code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="build-standard/micropython.mjs" type="module"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="module">
const mp = await loadMicroPython();
mp.runPython("print('hello world')");
</script>
</body>
</html>
The output in the above example will go to the JavaScript console. It's possible
to instead capture the output and print it somewhere else, for example in an
HTML element. The following example shows how to do this, and also demonstrates
the use of top-level await and the js module:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="build-standard/micropython.mjs" type="module"></script>
</head>
<body>
<pre id="micropython-stdout"></pre>
<script type="module">
const stdoutWriter = (line) => {
document.getElementById("micropython-stdout").innerText += line + "\n";
};
const mp = await loadMicroPython({stdout:stdoutWriter});
await mp.runPythonAsync(`
import js
url = "https://api.github.com/users/micropython"
print(f"fetching {url}...")
res = await js.fetch(url)
json = await res.json()
for i in dir(json):
print(f"{i}: {json[i]}")
`);
</script>
</body>
</html>
MicroPython code execution will suspend the browser so be sure to atomize usage within this environment. Unfortunately interrupts have not been implemented for the browser.
Testing
Run the test suite using:
$ make test
API
The following functions have been exposed to JavaScript through the interpreter
context, created and returned by loadMicroPython().
-
PyProxy: the type of the object that proxies Python objects. -
FS: the Emscripten filesystem object. -
globals: an object exposing the globals from the Python__main__module, with methodsget(key),set(key, value)anddelete(key). -
registerJsModule(name, module): register a JavaScript object as importable from Python with the given name. -
pyimport: import a Python module and return it. -
runPython(code): execute Python code and return the result. -
runPythonAsync(code): execute Python code and return the result, allowing for top-level await expressions (this call must be await'ed on the JavaScript side). -
replInit(): initialise the REPL. -
replProcessChar(chr): process an incoming character at the REPL. -
replProcessCharWithAsyncify(chr): process an incoming character at the REPL, for use when ASYNCIFY is enabled.
Proxying
A Python dict instance is proxied such that:
for (const key in dict) {
print(key, dict[key]);
}
works as expected on the JavaScript side and iterates through the keys of the
Python dict.
