MicroPython WebAssembly

MicroPython for WebAssembly.

Dependencies

Building the webassembly port bears the same requirements as the standard MicroPython ports with the addition of Emscripten, and optionally terser for the minified file.

The output includes micropython.mjs (a JavaScript wrapper for the MicroPython runtime) and micropython.wasm (actual MicroPython compiled to WASM).

Build instructions

In order to build micropython.mjs, run:

$ make

To generate the minified file micropython.min.mjs, run:

$ make min

Running with Node.js

Access the repl with:

$ make repl

This is the same as running:

$ node build-standard/micropython.mjs

The initial MicroPython GC heap size may be modified using:

$ node build-standard/micropython.mjs -X heapsize=64k

Where stack size may be represented in bytes, or have a k or m suffix.

MicroPython scripts may be executed using:

$ node build-standard/micropython.mjs hello.py

Alternatively micropython.mjs may by accessed by other JavaScript programs in node using the require command and the general API outlined below. For example:

const mp_mjs = await import("micropython.mjs");
const mp = await mp_mjs.loadMicroPython();

mp.runPython("print('hello world')");

Or without await notation:

import("micropython.mjs").then((mp_mjs) => {
    mp_mjs.loadMicroPython().then((mp) => {
        mp.runPython("print('hello world')");
    });
});

Running with HTML

The following code demonstrates the simplest way to load micropython.mjs in a browser, create an interpreter context, and run some Python code:

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <script src="build-standard/micropython.mjs" type="module"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <script type="module">
      const mp = await loadMicroPython();
      mp.runPython("print('hello world')");
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

The output in the above example will go to the JavaScript console. It's possible to instead capture the output and print it somewhere else, for example in an HTML element. The following example shows how to do this, and also demonstrates the use of top-level await and the js module:

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <script src="build-standard/micropython.mjs" type="module"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <pre id="micropython-stdout"></pre>
    <script type="module">
      const stdoutWriter = (line) => {
        document.getElementById("micropython-stdout").innerText += line + "\n";
      };
      const mp = await loadMicroPython({stdout:stdoutWriter});
      await mp.runPythonAsync(`
        import js
        url = "https://api.github.com/users/micropython"
        print(f"fetching {url}...")
        res = await js.fetch(url)
        json = await res.json()
        for i in dir(json):
          print(f"{i}: {json[i]}")
      `);
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

MicroPython code execution will suspend the browser so be sure to atomize usage within this environment. Unfortunately interrupts have not been implemented for the browser.

Testing

Run the test suite using:

$ make test

API

The following functions have been exposed to JavaScript through the interpreter context, created and returned by loadMicroPython().

PyProxy: the type of the object that proxies Python objects.
FS: the Emscripten filesystem object.
globals: an object exposing the globals from the Python __main__ module, with methods get(key), set(key, value) and delete(key).
registerJsModule(name, module): register a JavaScript object as importable from Python with the given name.
pyimport: import a Python module and return it.
runPython(code): execute Python code and return the result.
runPythonAsync(code): execute Python code and return the result, allowing for top-level await expressions (this call must be await'ed on the JavaScript side).
replInit(): initialise the REPL.
replProcessChar(chr): process an incoming character at the REPL.
replProcessCharWithAsyncify(chr): process an incoming character at the REPL, for use when ASYNCIFY is enabled.

Proxying

A Python dict instance is proxied such that:

for (const key in dict) {
    print(key, dict[key]);
}

works as expected on the JavaScript side and iterates through the keys of the Python dict.
