# webassembly

Lately I’ve been messing around a lot with cinterop and a C game development library called Raylib. It works perfectly fine on Native (almost too well) but that library can also export to wasm via emscripten. I know that with cinterop you can technically create a library even for wasm by passing -target wasm32 but is there any way to connect cinterop .klib with wasm and get a get it to work? I tried exporting bitcode and use bitcode with emscripten but it complained about “konan” bits present in it

Note wasm32 target in Kotlin/Native will be deprecated in favor of the new (dedicated) Kotlin/Wasm compiler backend.

Speaking about using the library compiled by emscripten, it’s possible but could be tricky now — right now you need write glue code and required declarations manually. In the future it should be simpler.

Would there be any examples of that by any chance? I’ve been scavenging everywhere for something to take a look as I wish to one day get the cinterop lib not only be on native but also have ability to export to web via emscripten

You can dig into https://github.com/JetBrains/skiko/tree/yakovlev/wasm_experimental/ which uses Skia compiled with emscripten from Kotlin/Wasm.

Awesome thank you! Will take a look
