- awesome-webgpu - WebGPU for Node - Based on Dawn (Libraries / Try out WebGPU)
README
This is a WebGPU API for native JavaScript, based on a Fork of Chromium's Dawn Project.
### Platforms
This project comes with pre-built N-API binaries for the following platforms:
| OS | Status |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| 
Windows | ✔ |
| 
Linux | ✔ |
| 
MacOS | ✔ |
### Installation
````
npm install webgpu
````
## Building
You have to build [dawn](https://dawn.googlesource.com/dawn) as a shared library.
After building dawn, create a file named `PATH_TO_DAWN` in this project's root directory, containing the **absolute** path to dawn.
In case you have multiple python installations, you might want to use the `--script-executable` gn flag to instruct *gn* to use the python 2.x installation.
After you have generated and built dawn, you can now build this project by running:
````
npm run all --dawnversion=0.0.1
````
### Windows
Follow dawn's initial setup instructions, but instead of the standard build, do the following:
To generate the project as a shared library using MSVS:
````
gn gen out/Shared --ide=vs --target_cpu="x64" --args="is_component_build=true is_debug=false is_clang=false"
````
It's important that you build using MSVS and **not** clang, as otherwise you will potentially get linking errors.
To build the project run:
````
ninja -C out/Shared
````
In case python wasn't found:
- Use `where python` to get the location of your python installation
- Repoint it by running e.g. `npm config set python C:\depot_tools\python.bat`
### Linux
Follow dawn's initial setup instructions, but instead of the standard build, do the following:
To generate the project as a shared library:
````
gn gen out/Shared --target_cpu="x64" --args="is_component_build=true is_debug=false is_clang=true"
````
To build the project run:
````
ninja -C out/Shared
````
### MacOS
Follow dawn's initial setup instructions, but instead of the standard build, do the following:
To generate the project as a shared library:
````
gn gen out/Shared --target_cpu="x64" --args="is_component_build=true is_debug=false is_clang=true"
````
To build the project run:
````
ninja -C out/Shared
````
## Examples
````
cd examples & cd ..
node --experimental-modules examples/interactive-triangle.mjs
````
## TODOs
- Add CTS
- Remove libshaderc from build?
