# bindbc-wgpu

Dynamic binding to [gfx-rs/wgpu-native](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-native) based on [BindBC](https://github.com/BindBC/bindbc-loader) library loader. Supports Windows, Linux and macOS.

> WebGPU specification is currently a working draft and not a standard yet. This binding may be not up to date with latest API revisions.

Usage:

```

"dependencies": {

    "bindbc-wgpu": "0.22.0"

}

```

Since 0.8.0, major and minor version numbers of the bindbc-wgpu package are in sync with wgpu-native versioning. Patch number can be different.

Since 0.17.0, this binding doesn't provide dynamic libraries (libwgpu_native), you should install them by yourself.

This repository also includes a simple triangle drawing example. More advanced demo can be found [here](https://github.com/gecko0307/wgpu-dlang).

## What is WebGPU?

It is a new low-level graphics and compute API for the Web that works on top of Vulkan, DirectX 12, or Metal. It exposes the generic computational facilities available in today's GPUs in a cross-platform way. 

[wgpu](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu) is a native WebGPU implementation written in Rust that can be compiled to a shared library to use with any language. Its API is based on the [W3C spec](https://www.w3.org/TR/webgpu/). It serves as the core of the WebGPU integration in Firefox, Servo, and Deno.
