# `cargo wasi` is deprecated, use [`cargo component`] instead

This repository for the `cargo wasi` tool was created long before the Component
Model of today in a time where the future of WASI was much less certain than it
is now. Nowadays users looking to integrate Rust and WASI should use [`cargo
component`] instead of `cargo wasi.

The original assumptions of `cargo wasi`, such as being based on `wasm-bindgen`,
are no longer applicable and the design direction of WASI has changed
significantly relative to when this tool was started.

See [this
comment](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/cargo-wasi/issues/143#issue-1839621636)
for a few more details. Otherwise feel free to reach out on [Zulip] with any
questions.

## Installation

To install this Cargo subcommand, first you'll want to [install
Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) and then you'll execute:

```
$ cargo install cargo-wasi
```

After that you can verify it works via:

```
$ cargo wasi --version
```

[**Read more about installation in the
guide!**](https://bytecodealliance.github.io/cargo-wasi/install.html)

## Usage

The `cargo wasi` subcommand is a thin wrapper around `cargo` subcommands,
providing optimized defaults for the `wasm32-wasi` target. Using `cargo wasi`
looks very similar to using `cargo`:

* `cargo wasi build` — build your code in debug mode for the wasi target.

* `cargo wasi build --release` — build the optimized version of your `*.wasm`.

* `cargo wasi run` — execute a binary.

* `cargo wasi test` — run your tests in `wasm32-wasi`.

* `cargo wasi bench` — run your benchmarks in `wasm32-wasi`.

In general, if you'd otherwise execute `cargo foo --flag` you can likely execute
`cargo wasi foo --flag` and everything will "just work" for the `wasm32-wasi`
target.

To give it a spin yourself, try out the hello-world versions of programs!

```
$ cargo new wasi-hello-world
Created binary (application) `wasi-hello-world` package
$ cd wasi-hello-world
$ cargo wasi run
Compiling wasi-hello-world v0.1.0 (/code/wasi-hello-world)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.15s
Running `cargo-wasi target/wasm32-wasi/debug/wasi-hello-world.wasm`
Running `target/wasm32-wasi/debug/wasi-hello-world.wasm`
Hello, world!
```

Or a library with some tests:

```
$ cargo new wasi-hello-world --lib
Created library `wasi-hello-world` package
$ cd wasi-hello-world
$ cargo wasi test
Compiling wasi-hello-world v0.1.0 (/code/wasi-hello-world)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.19s
Running target/wasm32-wasi/debug/deps/wasi_hello_world-9aa88657c21196a1.wasm
Running `/code/wasi-hello-world/target/wasm32-wasi/debug/deps/wasi_hello_world-9aa88657c21196a1.wasm`

running 1 test
test tests::it_works ... ok

test result: ok. 1 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out
```
