1An asm.js version of Skia's PathOps toolkit.

3To use the library, run `npm install pathkit-asmjs` and then simply include it:
4
5 <script src="/node_modules/pathkit-asmjs/bin/pathkit.js"></script>
6 PathKitInit({
7 locateFile: (file) => '/node_modules/pathkit-asmjs/bin/'+file,
8 }).then((PathKit) => {
9 // Code goes here using PathKit
10 });
11
12PathKit comes in two parts, a JS loader and the actual WASM code. The JS loader creates
13a global `PathKitInit` that can be called to load the WASM code. The `locateFile` function
14is used to tell the JS loader where to find the .js.mem file. By default, it will
15look for /pathkit.js.mem, so if this is not the case, use `locateFile` to configure
16this properly.
17The `PathKit` object returned upon resolution of the PathKitInit Promise is fully loaded and ready to use.

19See the [API page](https://skia.org/user/modules/pathkit) and
20[example.html](https://github.com/google/skia/blob/master/modules/pathkit/npm-asmjs/example.html)
21for details on how to use the library.

23Using PathKit and WebPack
24-------------------------
25
26WebPack's support for asm.js should be straight-forward, since it's just another JS library. PathKit can be
27used with just a few configuration changes.
28
29In the JS code, use require():
30
31 const PathKitInit = require('pathkit-asmjs/bin/pathkit.js')
32 PathKitInit().then((PathKit) => {
33 // Code goes here using PathKit
34 })
35
36Since WebPack does not expose the entire `/node_modules/` directory, but instead
37packages only the needed pieces, we have to copy pathkit.mem into the build directory.
38One such solution is to use [CopyWebpackPlugin](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/copy-webpack-plugin).
39For example, add the following plugin:
40
41 config.plugins.push(
42 new CopyWebpackPlugin([
43 { from: 'node_modules/pathkit-asmjs/bin/pathkit.js.mem' }
44 ])
45 );
46
47If webpack gives an error similar to:
48
49 ERROR in ./node_modules/pathkit-asmjs/bin/pathkit.js
50 Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'fs' in '...'
51
52Then, add the following configuration change to the node section of the config:
53
54 config.node = {
55 fs: 'empty'
56 };
