hello folks

today i am pleased to be releasing typst-wasm and an experimental version of vite-plugin-typst!

the goal of this project is to provide a **pragmatic** promise based API for compiling typst using wasm in **as many runtimes as possible**.

the api is **consistent across all supported runtimes** and **closely mirrors** what you see in **the rust crate**. it gives you full **control** over where and how you load the wasm blobs, which allows you to provide the best possible user experience.

running typst in wasm/serverless environments like cloudflare workers or vercel allows you to do **SSR**, easily offload compilation to the server for low bandwidth devices **while reusing code**, run typst in sandboxes for AI agents, etc.

here's an example of the API:

    await compiler.addFonts(
      readFile(new URL(import.meta.resolve(
        "@typst-wasm/fonts/NewCMMath-Regular.otf",
      ))),
    );
    
    await compiler.addSource("main.typ", "= Hello from typst-wasm!");
    const result = await compiler.compile({
      main: "main.typ",
      format: "svg",
    });
    
    console.log(result.pages[0]?.output);

# how does it differ from typst.ts?

**the goals are different**! typst-wasm aims to support many runtimes and provide a consistent api without the use of deprecated APIs.

I am also releasing vite-plugin-typst, built on typst-wasm, to provide an easy way to use the new html output in your vite apps! to give you ideas, this is a cool alternative to markdown for content in vite-based websites/blogs!

    import typstDocument from "./post.typ?typst=html";
    
    document.querySelector("#output")!.innerHTML = typstDocument.html;
