## Directory structure
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This folder "app-native-shared" is for the source files shared by both WASM APP and native runtime
|
|
|
|
- The c files in this directory are compiled into both the WASM APP and runtime.
|
|
- The header files for distributing to SDK are placed in the "bi-inc" folder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This folder "template" contains a pre-defined directory structure for a framework component. The developers can copy the template folder to create new components to the application framework.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Every other subfolder is framework component. Each component contains two library parts: **app and native**.
|
|
|
|
- The "base" component provide timer API and inter-app communication support. It must be enabled if other components are selected.
|
|
- Under the "app" folder of a component, the subfolder "wa_inc" holds all header files that should be included by the WASM applications
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Application framework basic model
|
|
|
|
The app framework is built on top of two fundamental operations:
|
|
|
|
- [Native calls into WASM function](../../doc/embed_wamr.md)
|
|
|
|
- [WASM app calls into native API](../../doc/export_native_api.md)
|
|
|
|
Asynchronized programming model is supported for WASM applications
|
|
|
|
- Every WASM app has its own sandbox and thread
|
|
|
|
- Queue and messaging

## Customized building of app framework
|
|
|
|
A component can be compilation configurable to the runtime. The wamr SDK tool "build_sdk.sh" supports menu config to select app components for building a customized runtime.
|
|
|
|
A number of CMAKE variables are defined to control build of framework and components. You can create a cmake file for defining these variables and include it in the CMakeList.txt for your software, or pass it in "-x" argument when run the [build_sdk.sh](../../wamr-sdk/build_sdk.sh) for building the runtime SDK.
|
|
|
|
```cmake
|
|
set (WAMR_BUILD_APP_FRAMEWORK 1)
|
|
set (WAMR_BUILD_APP_LIST WAMR_APP_BUILD_BASE)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Variables:
|
|
|
|
- **WAMR_BUILD_APP_FRAMEWORK**: enable the application framework
|
|
- **WAMR_BUILD_APP_LIST**: the selected components to be built into the final runtime
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The configuration file can be generated through the wamr-sdk menu config:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd wamr-sdk
|
|
./build_sdk -n [profile] -i
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Create new components
|
|
|
|
Generally you should follow following steps to create a new component:
|
|
|
|
- Copy the “template” for creating a new folder
|
|
|
|
- Implement the app part
|
|
|
|
- If your component exports native function to WASM, ensure your created a header file under app for declaring the function prototype.
|
|
- If you component provides header files for the WASM applications to include, ensure it is placed under subfolder "wa_inc".
|
|
|
|
- Implement the native part
|
|
|
|
- If your native function is exported to WASM, you need to create an inl file for the registration. It can be any file name, assuming the file name is "my_component.inl" here:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
//use right signature for your functions
|
|
EXPORT_WASM_API_WITH_SIG(wasm_my_component_api_1, "(i*~)i"),
|
|
EXPORT_WASM_API_WITH_SIG(wasm_my_component_api_2, "(i)i"),
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Ensure "wasm_lib.cmake" is provided as it will be included by the WAMR SDK building script
|
|
|
|
- Add a definition in "wasm_lib.cmake" for your component, e.g.
|
|
|
|
```cmake
|
|
add_definitions (-DAPP_FRAMEWORK_MY_COMPONENT)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Modify the file [app_ext_lib_export.c](./app_ext_lib_export.c) to register native APIs exported for the new introduced component. Skip it if not exporting native functions.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
#include "lib_export.h"
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
#ifdef APP_FRAMEWORK_MY_COMPONENT // this definition is created in wasm_lib.cmake
|
|
#include "my_component_native_api.h"
|
|
#endif
|
|
|
|
static NativeSymbol extended_native_symbol_defs[] = {
|
|
...
|
|
#ifdef APP_FRAMEWORK_MY_COMPONENT
|
|
#include "my_component.inl"
|
|
#endif
|
|
};
|
|
```
